The only downside is I have the itch to go down a 1/4 mile track once in a while. Most tracks, while VERY accomodating towards motorcycles, limit us to 13.5 second times, if allowed at all.
On another note, may I suggest wearing hearing protection (if you aren't already). I damaged the hearing in my L ear from my first few years on the road.

Yes, I am careful with my hearing and have been for years. The greatest numerical db reduction earplugs available, always, for my motorcycles and the Cobra. I would not drive the thing without hearing protection. That is certainly ear damaging levels coming out of those sidepipes.
Thank you for the note on ear protection and everyone should take note of that.
