Re: [ST] Break in?

["Scott Inman" <scott__inman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you to everyone for replying to my message.  Wow, what responses in 
such short time.  I love the ST grouplist already!

Yeah, I guess I'll take the back roads home.  If I did have to take the 
xpressway for a bit, as long as I kept the rpms going up and down, it should 
be ok, right?

When I broke in the R1, I kept going down to 2K, back up to 6K (6K was the 
limit on the R1s 1st 600 miles), over and over.  I was getting so sick of 
doing it, but I figured its the only safe way to break in the bike correctly 
when forced to take the highway.

I'm buying the bike from Triumph of Swansea, MA.

The owner Steve is a realy nice guy.  Very impressed with their service and 
friendliness.
