    The 17,500 red line was a manufacturer fluke, it really only went to 16k.

    The needles went that high, they just weren't especially accurate. No more inaccurate than any other brands though.

    Yes, definitely more inaccurate than other brands... Thus why they had to change it for the same engine through the current generation.

    As for rides, Matt you have my cell phone and if you are not in Iowa maybe we can ride this weekend and get the feet wet since it's been a while since you were up there. I can't do the early rides at 8am or earlier and I don't mind riding later if needed. Actually I've only ridden at night like 5 times total so thats probably not a good idea for me to ride at night but if we did an evening ride we could swing that. Plus you live over by me anyways.
    Just let me know what works, man!

    I hit bailey/pine Tuesday and it was a fantastic ride...stopped at crossroads bar for a beer and some pizza then came back down.

    Plan on hitting little bear in evergreen for a burger and a beer soon as well

    We'll make something happen for sure - hopefully you had a good time in Hawaii!
