Yup, I was lovin' it! My wife was definitely not prepared for the sound and the fury. The first video she took had so many expletives from her that it was unusable! lol

Thanks! My neighbors have been so awesome about this. That said, I have already ordered Gas-n pipes to try and tone it down a bit. And yes, it looks like I can hit 60 in that space. It is FAST!

Thanks man! And thanks for helping me so much! I really can't believe how cool my neighbors have been. I couldn't help myself on that first drive, but I will try and chill out a bit until I can get a little further away.

Congrats on that first ride. You did a great job diagnosing the timing chain issue, and none of it was easy.
Keep up the good work, Glen
