Hey, actually I *almost* got that far this morning. :)
 I was taking a corner and caught a glimpse of the
tach as I was coming out of the corner and shifted up.
 Didn't quite make it to the rev limiter though.

I am having some kinda fun! ;)

It's been suggested that I hit the limiter on purpose
a few times in order to know what it feels like so I
won't freak out when it does happen.  I haven't had
the opportunity yet on my normal commute, but as I
continue to play around with Spike, I'm sure I'll get
there eventually. (soon!)

Thanks!  I'll be ready for autocross by Spring!!!! :) 
Gotta get some better tires though....

Lisa & Spike
Team Glad this is a long weekend so I can play!
