Break in period

I didn't break my buell in stupid hard. But, I redlined the first 3 gears the first time I took it out.

I took it home, let it cool down. Ran it through a few more heat cycles and then changed the oil.

There was a bit of metal on the drain plug, that was it. And I've run it normally since.
In about 15000 miles the only issues I've had were from cheap components and sensors. Nothing internal has gone wrong.
