Sitting in my car yesterday at the lights I spied a 999comming toward me, quickly I turned the CD player down while I fumbled for the buttons to lower the driverside windows in anticipation of the Ducati rumble as it sailed by me. How dissapionting to hear this Ducati give off a faint burble that would be no louder than than a soft breeze in the trees. Definately not a patch on the Staintuned Paso & I am pretty sure it was Termi equipped. I felt so let down I just wound the windows up & turned the "Talking Heads" CD back on. "Same as it ever was, same as it ever was..." :umm:

Same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago Red, a 999 went through an intersection I was waiting at, also in my car. He had to make a tight turn in this intersection, and he did it with style, fast and smooth. I also thought it was very quiet, but I thought it sounded good, and it seemed to be pulling very smoothly at low revs.

sounded good just way to soft. I have seen this 999 a few times of late & assume it is a new one in town. There is another that I can hear from a long way off so I can get to the Balcony to see it go past the office, it sounds awesome so I guess in comparison this one was a real let down. Good to SEE them on the raod anyway :thumbup:

sigh ... with a foot of snow on the ground aruond here, you guys are really making me miss the sounds of my girls' exhausts ...

... only five more months til riding season ... sniff :ugh:

Hey Faster, next time there's a good day in a warm place not too far away, and if you can spare the time, catch a quick flight there and hire a bike for a few hours!

Same here, faster.

Although last week I took a five mile round trip to the gas station for a fill-up :screwy: . Snow was all around me, but the roads were dry. Damn cold on the neck though. I think I'll wait until it warms up to go out again.
