At a photo op at the western rallye, Paul Masters demonstrated the sweet
sound of the trumpet by blasting by us several times, at around 9K I
imagine. Since I've never been a bystander to hear it before, and it's hard
to get a sense of it when you're riding, it was the first time I heard a
wide open triple. Great sound, and that was with the stock pipe. I'll have
the pictures up later.
