oops, such a free revving engine it is an easy mistake to make and not just by selecting the wrong gear. One can make a similar mistake selecting what you think is going to be the right gear. Judging how low a gear to shift down to can be tricky because above 5,000 rpm the engine pulls well and is very noisy, even with the intake pipe noisemaker blocked off.

Just be aware that 8,000 rpm may be lunchtime for this engine
