The Frozen ******* Wasteland!
I can show you pictures from trips to the Rockies. Unfortunately, they are several hours away and require a long weekend to enjoy. No afternoon bimbles.

gilo, i went out of abba up to williams cafe, salt on road out of abba, and a479 to cafe...was salt !!!! never saw it in other places either...wasnt just me my mate saw it too...before me i might add.yep i reckon fuel light comes on early..i bet it will do 120 odd miles no trouble, not that heavy on right hand
Many at the Williams cafe stop Evlin. I've not intorduced Aka_Gilo to the joys of that cafe yet unless he's been there already. Was the service its usual order a cuppa and get it 20 minutes later?

Williams cafe is a new one on me!! Whereabouts is it?
Evlin - re electrical problems, the main thing seems to be to replace the brown connector(s), see here: http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=144612
I plan to do it over the winter.

brown connectors on gen 2's are ok as long as kept clean and packed with battery terminal grease
and the gen'1s have no problems there
oh yes and i forgot to say
on ya gen'2s under the tank on the l/h side you have 3 white block connectors clean em and battery terminal grease em !
common problem area (they go green corrode and then melt)
and no it aint just aprilias that do that so dont worry !
most jap stuff have coroding terminals as well

Gen I Tuonos lasted until 2005 with the new RSVR coming out that year, evlin. '06 and on for the Gen II. Both have merits. I kinda like the ol' skool stomp of the Gen I models. And I lurve the Racing editions.
