Just had a belly full of my MV, one problem after another in the last few days, was hoping for a blast tomorrow and put my speed demon outfit on.
Thats not to be, so it'll be the Tuono hooligan outfit instead. If it goes the same way as the MV and doesnt want to play ball this week,
I'll bang the Italians heads together, set fire to them and jump up and down on their ashes......and buy a Triumph Daytona.....

Out for a ride round yesterday ...

My clutch slave appears to have died ... very hard going down the box.

And when I got back ... the perspex on the main clock has a ******* great crack in it!

So now ... clocks steamy as **** and broken

Make sure the Griff has one before you go.

Or I have my original one in the shed, it's a fifteen minute fix.

Before I went for the Tuono, was considering an SV 1000. My lad had an SV 650. The motor was ultra sweet and a nice riding posn.

Wow, thats impressive. Must be well looked after and good servicing. Didnt think Italian stuff did that sort of mileage until a Mate, ex mate to be more precise, had a 748 Ducati, rode it in all weathers, year round and never missed a beat. Sold it on 26k, bought a 749.....didnt even make 9k when the motor went **** up.
