Break-in curiousity

Ok I know there has been plenty of questions about this, but this is my question.. I don't have to worry about the new bike warranty, I'm gonna drop a turbo on the bike after break-in anyway, but I found this website mototuneusa.com and scroll down to the break-in secrets. Now i have been riding for over 20 years now and have a few new bikes off the floor and I have always followed the proper break in procedures but after reading this website. I have to admit that he makes some very valid points. Has anyone thrown the manual out and went in some way towards this way of break-in? and as for the Turbo, I'm shipping the bike off to cycle logic once bike is ready

I ride, not race the bike from the first day. ~30 miles to work and ~30 back for 2 days or
after 3 -4 (rides) heat cycles it's track time.
