Gave the boss a ride to the local Ferrari dealership to pick up a new Maserati with a Ferrari drive train. While he was signing paperwork, I asked what is the "breakin procedure" for this car?
The very knowledgeable salesman smiled and said, this motor is broke in. Before it was ever put into the car.
I still believe that could only be partially true. But I get the point.
I looked at the boss when he looked up at my reaction to the response and stated "well hell, then there is no reason that I shouldn't get to drive it back to the office. It's not like I can blow it up!
He threw me the keys. Said don't go to jail.
Nice car. Italian V8's are so........italian.
Oh, back to topic. Today metallurgy and engineering and manufacturing processes are not like our grandfathers Buick.
Again, I would fear no Tenere demo bike. I rented a Tenere with 70,000 kilometers on it. A rental! (how much abuse you figure it got?)
Other than a very tired suspension, that bike ran as tight and clean as mine. That told me a lot about this machine.
