Hello all,

no, I don't own a Tuono....... I wish I did. I have a Moto Guzzi GRISO 8V SE and a Honda VFR. Both very nice bikes each with a character of it's own. Most often I ride the Griso but the VFR has made me realise the virtues of V4 engines. If only the VFR engine displacement was larger....... (The Tuono seems to fit the bill :))

Love the Griso, trying to figure out how to keep the present bikes and just add a Tuono....
 
Insure the wife,murder the wife,collect insurance payout,buy bigger house with bigger garage for more bikes....simples :)

This has been attempted before ;-


Tired of constantly being broke and stuck in an unhappy
marriage, a young husband decided to solve both
problems by taking out a large insurance policy on his
wife with himself as the beneficiary and then arranging
to have her killed.

A 'friend of a friend' put him in touch with a nefarious
dark-side underworld figure who went by the name of
'Artie.' Artie explained to the husband that his going
price for snuffing out a spouse was £10,000.

The Husband said he was willing to pay that amount but
that he wouldn't have any cash on hand until he could
collect his wife's insurance money. Artie insisted on
being paid at least something up front, so the man
opened his wallet, displaying the single pound coin that
rested inside. Artie sighed, rolled his eyes and
reluctantly agreed to accept the pound as down payment
for the dirty deed.

A few Days later, Artie followed the man's wife to the
local Tesco Supermarket. There, he surprised her in the
produce department and proceeded to strangle her with
his gloved hands. As the poor unsuspecting woman drew
her last breath and slumped to the floor, the manager
of the produce department stumbled unexpectedly onto
the murder scene. Unwilling to leave any living witnesses
behind, Artie had no choice but to strangle the Produce
Manager as well.

However, unknown to Artie, the entire proceedings were
captured by the hidden security cameras and observed
by the shop's security guard, who immediately called
the police. Artie was caught and arrested before he
could even leave the premises.

Under intense Questioning at the police station, Artie
revealed the whole sordid plan, including his unusual
financial arrangements with the hapless husband who
was also quickly arrested. The next day in the
newspaper, the headline declared...

'ARTIE CHOKES 2 for £1.00 @ Tesco'

Welcome Ron, hope you find a way to get the Tuono

hilarious :) I agree Bosko doing the missus is a risky proposition. Not one for me. I happen to have a good one. Thing is I love the Griso, it's a keeper. I can see the VFR go only the son is using it and is planning to ride it coming summer. But he is into MV Agusta's so i can probably sell it in a year once he got his MV. However, selling a car is easy but parting with a Motorcycle is emotionally challenging. I still regret selling my -72 Honda CB750. I am on a slippery slope here..... Oh well,

Hi Why not go out and buy one really quickly and tell the wife she agreed whilst pissed over xmas, or just not tell her at all and say you have always had 3 bikes

That my friend is an epic idea!
 
Yes, a truly epic idea only she can count to three...... And she comes to the garage every now and then with a cup of tea for me so she knows what's in there. No can do.

True story: A person who rides in our group every now and then did trade in his blue VFR for a later issue VFR only the new one is red. His wife walks in to the shed one day and said " I thought the bike was blue?" He: " No no it's red" She:"Oh" He never heard another word about it.

What you need is more bikes, than an extra one just blends in, especially if they are under covers.

I know of someone who apparently did a similar thing, upgraded a 900SS for an 888 and swapped his private plate over.
His missus was none the wiser until a couple of mates went round to see "the new bike". She went ape and threw him out!

so I see the issue here - the wife brings you tea in the garage....now then - you DO soooooooooooooooooooo need to keep her. just be honest and say:
"hey, babe. I wear the trousers - if I decide to get a new bike, then so be it"
Then you can see how many cups of tea you get :yes it's bound to work! I see nothing wrong with this plan. in fact it's so good, I'm going to try it on my wife tonight... (Giles, if I don't make it, you can have my iPhone. Shotgun you can have my iPhone too, you've have to fight Giles for it)

VFR nice bikes, but no flair - know what I mean?
 
I aint fighting Giles for it as i hear hes a mean bastard and a dirty fighter if hes been on the Pimms !!

That's class......That guy is my hero!
 
All,
thank you for the warm welcoming. This is a great forum indeed. Creative minds, humor and great suggestions on how to get a Tuono :megaphone. Character.... The Griso has all you need in that department, thats why I love it. The VFR is a truly great bike but quite the opposite to the Griso, but I do like the V4 engine, gear driven cams and all. Comes spring I will try the Tuono 1100 and the RSV and then make up my mind....

Stay safe all

/Ron
