Ducked up to Dad's today,  a couple  of pics  on the way.

680 km each way.
6.0 to 7.5 l/ km. Most of the road is tar & stones not ashpalt.
Unfortunately,  it was a lot louder  with a higher pitch than the Santa.
 Used db app on phone to check levels  - 90 to 95 db   
Cranked up the tunes, Led Zepp, Stones, Muse & Rival Sons at  at 75% almost canceled it out. 
Ear plugs if I  take it  that far again.    

That's a fair hike for a day trip To busy taking photos to change gears were we

I didn't click it was only in 4th.. Yeah 4000 rpm at hwy speeds is a bit high 

Since being in Trish's Kona with 55 series tyres only 205 wide we notice the extra noise in the SR from the 40 series tyres.. As much as I love it in most ways I am looking forward to the quietness of the Hybrid.

Will be putting Santa back on the All-Terrians next week,  lower pitch again  and ready for the snow
