4000 rpm or more with only two miles on it?

Memo to self: buy no demo machines.

At 35,000 miles, my 885i Speed Triple has developed a coolant leak at the back of the cylinder head. Pumped up the cooling system to 1 bar and found the leak to be the gasket. I've finally found peace knowing that this truly is a Triumph; it leaks. Guess I'll have to replace the head gasket but I'm enjoying the leak even though it's not oil like a classic Triumph. At least it's leaking out of the head instead of into the engine.
