I'm happy for Joe too. Hell, I'm happy for any guy that's got a bike and the time to ride it, including you. I'm not sure what "bent your axle" but maybe you just had a bad day.
In any case, I'm not distraught over anyone's engine upgrade hobby, including my own. It's all just a hobby for any of us and we should get as much enjoyment out of it as we can. The point of the forum is to help each other out. Telling others what they "want to hear" isn't always the best we can offer to them.
If my bike's performance ended at 111/115 on paper but it ran like a scalded dog, I certainly wouldn't care about the paper chase. OTOH if there's plenty of tuning improvement left on the table (as there was with my bike), then we owe each other the feedback and the tips to point us in the right direction. It's worth noting I got a number of excellent tips in my tuning efforts that came from HDF.
FWIW, the upgrade "journey" is alot more fun than the finished product. So hopefully Joe's 95hp 106" is the start of the "upgrade journey" and not the finish line. As with most of us, I suspect that is the case.
Hopefully you'll have a nicer day tomorrow. Maybe even a great day that includes a bike ride.
