This is the right question I think.

For me personally, not the person you replied to, it is the noise.

After years of soul-searching, and as a music lover, it’s about the noise. I will (or would) leave NYS over this. 76dB 50ft away under 35mph and over 35mph it’s 82dB - a joke. Once I found the perfect engine note, the rest is history. Speed is fun, but sound and steering are more character.

Currently the goal of purchasing this soul-rending, sonorous beast is sustaining me in life.

I’ll do my very best to be judicious with valves closing the exhaust around town and at night.

Making a financially foolish move and touring the country isn’t the worst mistake you could make in an awful mood.
