Same for Motorcycle helmets. Sure you can spend $60, but the good ones are more like $500+. I like my Scorpion which was like $219. Don't know how it'd be on a long ride though cuz it's kinda loud.

I honestly don't remember what the break-in for my McLeod was, but I don't remember being warned by them about anything specifically. I say pour yourself some coffee and head North on the 1 for 250, then turn around. Lots of lights from SoCal. Brings some friends, BS, it'll go by in no time. Of course there's the sticky bit about your fuel situation.
lol the fuel bit is well handled i went and picked up another 80 gals last night to go with the 60 i already have here! ill just bring a few more containers with me then usual on this trip!

then i can launch like a banshee and maybe this will happen too me....

VWJeff and a not so good day at the track.

he was on the same turbo i am on :-(

You're aren't going to get jack from that much weight loss, but the intercooler thing, depending on the weather . . . maybe. If it suffers from heat sink like Sean's Cobra, hells ya.
