Well, it's not really a loud kinda pinging like a rod's rattling or anything, and hell, it's still under warranty so i'll run it til it locks up. It runs fantastic and starts great (even better with the biturbo) and screams out a whoppin 44 mph on a good downhill run...I was actually flaggin a car ahead of me to speed up yesterday...heehee.
But it seems like anytime i take a panel or anything like that off and replace it for any reason, i get a new "buzz" or rattle. I guess i just need more ridin' time on my bike to get comfy and relax. Maybe a long trip with a cell phone for backup will calm me down a bit. When the weather gets good, I plan a day trip with a backpack fulla goodies and maybe a fishin pole. Like most of you guys say, and i'm just realizing, it's fantastic to be able to catch all the little things on side of the road as you buzz by; things you don't notice in a car cuz you're in you're in a different boxed-in world. Man, it's a blast. Anyways, I'll shuttup now...
Ride the road cuz it's free and you can,
