Thanks! I know I am the biggest wuss on the list, but I have never been to the redline, and cannot imagine why I would want to. And Matt put it into words for me without me saying I'm the biggest wuss on the list.
Doh!

I only bumped it once, and that was blasting down the straight at<br>
Thunderhill raceway. In normal street riding, I find little reason to
get<br>
that close to redline because there's so much power lower down. I find
for<br>
spirited riding I usually keep it between 5k and 7k, rarely going up
to<br>
even 8k.</blockquote><br>
