no it jumped out of gear and it revved to ######y iirc

oh yer, here we are:
Loud music, not putting it into gear properly, putting my foot down to overtake thinking i was in gear, looked at the rev counter and it was past 8 and still going...long story short i made a mistake lol

i suppose with the head skim and the high lift cam and a worn cam belt some interferance could have been made, just seems a little unusual,

If i'd read this yesterday i'd have been thinking how the hell can you accidently rev it that high, but on the way home today i missed 5th gear and hit over 8500rpm lol. Luckily no apparant damage. (Apart from my ears, they were genuinely hurting from the noise lol)
