Please don't quote whole posts with numerous pictures. People do it here in various forums. It adds up, and it gradually slows down the whole site. Thanks. :driving:

I didn't think it was that loud, but I was working pretty hard and pretty excited as well. By nicer ride, I mean a supple, planted, sticky feeling; great handling/cornering but not at all jarring....
