welcome mate

Gutted for yer on the crash. Which track was it at?

always wanted one of the SP1's BTW. I reckon I'm a bit too accustomed to the upright riding position now though

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I ended up In the JR for a few days. I now have a scar down my arm and a fused finger with a plate over the top of it. I was at Silverstone on the national circuit. I *Think* I ran off the edge of the tire round woodcote corner, came off about 100/110. most of the damages was down to my gloves that failed. :|


Rico ya cheeky sod, I still need them. the bikes being re buit..

Thank fook, theirs not only me falls of T's. Shpetactular that mate nice one. Mates got an Sp1 Edwards Rep, really good bikes. He won't go on my T to much though cos he says he'd like it to much and force him to flog the Onda. He reckons the power of the Sp1 and agility and comfort of the T would be the perfect bike.
Howdy doody.

Welcome Blackwolf

I glanced at the photos and thought 'bloody hell, he's chucked those paddock stands in a bit close' then realised that actually it didn't really matter that much after all!

I reckon your plate should read BX58 FFS - B*lloxed 58 For F*cks Sake :bawling

Greetings dude. Bit of a buga binning the bike.
The SP is about as bad on fuel as the T. Mate of mine had 1, and ran out at 85 only

Christ that looks like a "breaking for spares" job!

No insurance I suppose as you were on the track?

Cheeky question, what's it costing you to repair?

Naa its not going to be broken. It looks bad inthe pics, but a lot of the damage is plastic. forks, frame, brembos ect is all good.

And cost for it to be rideable again? or back to perfect?


@ Grinfactor, With a PCIII hell be looking at 100-110 miles to a tank and on motorway trips he can see 130!

Black Ts are the fastest

Aaaaand WELCOME!!! my lupine brethren. I too, have a black Tuono. And strangely enuf, it resembles yours a tad after a badly executed exit from turn one at the track. Left sided bits are needed so I already have dibs... :biggrin
Mine was restored to rideable and now is going intae the shop for a charging issue. The tank looks a lot like yours. Fuggit. not cracked or leaking so riding it as such.

A **** load of fun though, aren't they??
