While many who've read my screeds will undoubtedly believe I'm an EV acolyte, the sound of an engine still gets my hair all tingly. I love a good motor. The induction noise. The exhaust. The revs climbing through their range to redline. It still gets me excited and wanting more.
In fact, when I was just recently in Iceland, one of our group managed to knock the silencer off the exhaust system of his Ducati DesertX V2, and the noise that emanated from it was positively glorious for the next few hours until we could fix it. Think straight-piped rowdiness going up hillclimbs and rallying as if it were Dakar. Perfection dot gif.
