Interesting, how experiences vary.

I have 2 82 Westys, which I think may be geared
different from each other.

One feels very comfortable at up to 65.

In the other I've found myself going 70-75 in
places where I should have been at 55, because it
just doesn't sound or feel wound up. At 65, it
feels like it's just hitting its stride.
