He's clearly a smart guy. It won't take him long to figure out that he'll want that front wheel enclosed inside the fairing. It'll be interesting to see how he encloses the suspended front wheel. That'll help to quiet it down a bit. I'd think that eventually he'd want to isolate the noise of the engine also, but he'll still need airflow to cool it. His helmeted head is above the fairing, but still the noise inside that thing must sound amplified.
It is a great link, and I hope he keeps it updated for us vicarious inventors.
