This is what my K5 tire should look like after my break in ride:

The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

Can still see some scratches! :-D
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day!
Build a man a fire, and he will be warm for a night , Light a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life!

Yeah, I'm having a hard time getting some of those machine marks out.
I know I can get them all but I don't want to get into the gasket area  :|
Maybe a few more hours of fondling it will help  :-o
Or, if any of you have some suggestions......

I was giving you a hard time :-o, but, if you could chuck it up in a 4 jaw, and run at a safe speed. Watch the fingers!

Yeah, I knew you were.
I wasn't really happy with the squish area so I will try again next week.

 Quit making your fingers dirty and sore. :-D

 Put the head on and apply your talents to something beneficial. There are no gains to be had from a mirror finish, in fact it may be counterproductive, especially in the squish area.

  Polish rant over,
