Hit the Rev Limiter-Cool!

I've never had the nerve to crank it up past about 4000 rpm, but last night I was determined to see just what this rev limiter was all about. I know-Big Effin Deal-but I was amazed and surprised at how good the engine sounded and how smooth it was til I hit the limiter. This could be addictive.

Pushing anything to the limit is not a good idea.

Went there once on accident right after I got my RK, and once with intent. Sounds great and very smooth. I probably won't do it much. Don't really need to.
