Default sure is nice

To lay into it once in a while. Guys with no common sense sweeping lots with leaf blowers, dirt clouds crossing the street to work I stop and wait for them to see me and stop blowing crap but for $8/hr they don't understand so I have to pass tires blazing...a few people at my shop come out to look at the source of the sounds as I lay 100' of dual track at only partial throttle.

Damn that felt good. Sure wish there was a local playgound but man it's too risky playing on the streets around here and I RARELY ever get into boost anymore.

Just thought I'd share my morning, have a great day all!

Scott, what's ridiculous is that he rarely gets into boost anymore.

What a waste. Of a perfectly good TVS. It's gonna be all carbon-ed up like an old man motor puttering to the grocery store. Coulda stayed w/. a Radix & saved all that $.

Him apologizing was even more so. Why? Some guys are considerate when using blowers by street. A lot are not. I can't stand that, esp. if they kick up loose rocks / gravel. So when I get that same treatment, I romp on it. Sometimes they hear it, but if not, they feel the Blue Streak whiz by. If I'm at a lite / stop & they do that ****, the blower may drown me out at full wail, but if they quiet it down, I try to scare the **** outta them for doin it. I crack the revs so it snaps real loud.
And I sure as ****, aren't gonna apologize!!! I have seen em turn their head or body movement, lookin my way, so I know they heard me.
