Hey guys, hope you're enjoying your holiday. Since it's been raining and cold the last few days, the baby has been in the garage. This morning I woke up before everyone else and drove around downtown a bit. Here are the pics because I wanted to share. Have a good day and be safe!

ps. Empty roads + no cops = touched 100mph today. Wow, it's windy.

Nice pics, Anti! The extra bonus for me is that I recognize some of your backgrounds.

That's the bonus of living in a tourist town, there's so many great scenic places. I only wish it has been better weather. I'm not complaining though since at least it was over 40 degrees and dry.

Great pics. Looks like a fun ride. Can't wait til the kids are through college and we can move south...

I got out for a little while today after work. There's a nice twisty road near the house and I thought it'd be a good day to attack it. :D ... 'til I caught up to a dump truck towing a three-axle trailer.... :cry:

I did tag that "magical" 7500 RPM point today. At 7500 in second gear I'm beyond speeding. What the heck else do I do with the rest of this engine? :mrgreen: :P

Lower the gearing and have some fun.... :twisted:

Go back to first gear and top it out... :twisted: :twisted:

Not quite bold enough for that yet. I'm used to engines where 5K is tops, so I've got some sort of mental block on having past 150% of "normal."

(Then again, as 599ers we're not altogether normal anyway, right?) :?
