It's Alive!!!!

Got the oil lines from BCM for my Duc today.  I finished hooking up the electrics and filled it with diesel oil for the break-in. Then I reached over, crossed my fingers, and pushed the starter switch. Boooooya! Started right up, and man does it sound sweet!!! I'll be taking it to the dyno either Friday night or next Tuesday or Wednesday to finish up the break-in. Then all I have to do is re-safety wire it and clean the brake calipers one more time and I'm ready to go racing! Woohoo! :D ;) :) ;D 8)

May 3-4 at Jennings.  If you don't get down this way, I'll be at the ROC at Daytona too!  What a relief when it started right up...whew. :)

More fun than sitting at home with a busted-ass bike...   ;D

I actually was never hard on the other one.  I over-revved it once for a millisecond, but that was long before the blow-up, and it supposedly will rev to 10,000 safely and I ran it to about 9600 that time.  I usually shift at around 8400-8600.  I think I just caught an unfortunate bit of luck that week.  Nothing went right at work, at the races, anywhere...one of those weeks. :)

Thanks Kwak...and I hope you have a blast on your new bike for a long time before you decide to go through that crap to get a new one again.  ;D
