Default RE: break in

I just finished my 500 mile break in period and it was fun. no more than 50mphfor the first 50 miles, rolling on and off the throttle, going through 1 and 3. 60-65 mphup to 500 miles, doing the same thing with the throttle and the gears. Now it seems like the engine has great pull and power through the gears. If you have to take the highway, then take it. Wave at all the people when they go by you, cause you know the driver is wishing they were you. Enjoy the time and take your time. Call me a punk if you wanna, but thats my 2cents worth.
