Weather report for yesterday "sunny in afternoon rain in evening" Right, first ride for my new purchase and entry into the V Twin club, Now after coming fron a Honda VFR this was quite a shock for me when I nailed the throttle in second and nearly put the front wheel into orbit, **** me this is a beast and it deserves a little respect. So for the rest of the ride I started to get to know thumper (every bike needs a name) a little better.This bike is tremendous and why I never thought of getting one b4 i don't know, but now to the title of the thread, some ******* in a 4 + 4 kicked what seemed a frickin house brick out of his tyres,next thing BANG it hit the front of the fuel tank cover and snotted the paint work. Do you know how long it took me to find a spotless bike?needless to say i'm pretty pissed off and to top it all the weather report got it wrong and I got pissed wet through. Not sure if you can buy a touch up pen from dealers or get one mixed fro a paint shop but if any one knows would you let me know.and if any one knows the paint code that would be handy.
The bike in question is a 57 plate with the blue and white check on the tank
 
Hey Butch - welcome to the site. A bad start as you say, but once you get the paintwork sorted and we get some good weather you'll not regret buying a Tuono! :thumbup

Blue flame cans on mine sound lovely :)
 
Sounds like a reet pisser that one but like the lads say dude could have been a lot worse!
Once you change your cans over , don't forget to get the bike changed onto map 2 and resync the co levels mate it does help and improve te bike no end!

Viffers are great bikes but there not a patch on the aprilias are they!

Hope this helps
