Great pictures! Have you had many long days (8 hours +)? I took my GT3 on a 3,500 mile trip last July up to the Northwest and beyond and did not enjoy the long days so much, as the road noise was so high. Using earplugs helped. I enjoyed the trip immensely (especially the backroads), but won't do it again. BTW, I have unmodified LWB's, and they were extremely comfortable the whole trip.

I have kept days reasonable length and tossed in activities instead of pressing too much. I find road noise not bad at all,* except on tar-gravely-surface roads (TX) where I used ear plugs once.

Now, on average noise level is of course higher than the delicious European roads at delivery....

*This is not a Touring vs Wing noise level thing, is it? Was that ever resolved, if real?

That crossed my mind, but no, just curious how the long days were. On my trip, the last 2 days were 8 hours plus, driving across Idaho, Utah, Nevada and California, so I pushed it a bit too much.

How's your gas mileage been? I averaged 23.4 MPG on my trip, which was better than expected. I cruised around 90 MPH across Utah and Nevada.
