    I like the DT across the top of the wind screen. Is that going to stay?

    Wow. I am packing hearing protection for the Dragon if you are running around me -- I guess that would be "past" me. :biggrin5:

    I'll bet that exhaust gets changed soon after you get back from Nor'Clina......

    Still, I'll bet it's nice to be mobile in your car again.

    The Gant is so fast now, it stays in front of the sound wave. It's really not that bad inside. There is plenty of that acoustic mat and when in a higher gear it's pretty tame..... Until you add the juice that is......:D

    Wow. I hadn't been on a PC where I could see or hear the YouTube clips. Gnat is WAY loud, at least on camera!

    It's quieter than before when cruising. I can actually have a conversation with a person in the passenger seat and on the phone. It is only quite raucous when you get on it.

    The was no drone when cruising between 50 - 70 mph.

    Nice, I guess I could check the other thread, how many of these got sold. What a collectors item!

    Will get mine at MOTD. Getting anxious to hit the road. Monday AM, more or less. :)
