When I want to "feel" torque I ride this. It's like a tractor

, wow, haven't seen this thread in forever. Hey Sid, I heard about the tuning day. Anything you could shed some light on for us who are about to tune? Was it something that can be avoided, or was it just bad luck for you on that day? Thanks.
