here's an update....back in December a week or so after the break in was done, a few days before Christmas I took a little ride out to work.....its literally in the middle of nowhere. the road to work is fairly new, its only a 2 lane road, but its 4 lanes wide.....about 3 1/2 miles that's STRAIGHT as an arrow....and its FLAT, and smooth as a baby's butt!!. it starts at a cross road....from that T (have measured it) there is a bridge and its EXACTLY 1 mile from the cross road. I couldn't see a single soul on the road.....so I stopped, set it up. launched!! I let off when I reached the bridge at the mile mark.....175!! this thing fly's like the wind! and is as smooth as silk at that speed!
