Default Set the Rings


Well, hit 1000 miles on way to my folks home for Christmas. Dad wanted a ride. I set my piston rings at 9k. Heh, he said it sounded like a jet.

Congratulations. It also begs the question, which gear?

9000 rpm and Kelly Clarkson, that's an interesting combination.

Second gear. Any higher and I'd have been going way too fast for the neighborhood.

Pandora Christmas music station. I should have been playing "Danger Zone" from Top Gun, I know.
