Nah! Had a look round, they don't look any good, would like to see one in the flesh before purchase. Mind you having seen R1 rad punctured recently, will renew efforts before summer in the hope of preventing same. Think rad protectors shown in this forum look crap - my opinion! Big 'T' wrapped up in garage at mo'. Wifey bought TOM TOM rider for Xmas, that's next project. Need to find best place to pick up supply for it. Any suggestions, GUYS?
 
Trip 1

Rob,
great pics, looks like you had a great run. I've been hoping for some better weather but it always says pishin doon and it fair puts ya off. Where do ya go for your servicing if you live in Moffat. I'm in Pebbles, just owa that hill.

Oz:cheers

There are two places locally - one in Carlisle - but I do not rate them, I used a place in Whitehaven, he races an Aprilia and is really friendly, lends you a bike for the day, brilliant service, name escapes me, but it will be on the web if you do a search of dealers...

RBD914,
the guy you're on about is Dave Milling in Whitehaven. Got my new Tuono off him earlier this year. Top bloke with decent prices, excellent customer care. 600 mile service was £35 - the cost of the oil. He's also got an RSV4 demonstrator. Need to go and get something fitted to the Tuono so I can have a couple of hours on that!!

Cheers,

Ciderdrinker.

Dave Milling - that's the chap - top guy!

May need to try out that RSV4 myself!

I weep with jealousy. I was through the Highlands north of Edinbourough in June and the weather and my pictures reflect the same experience that you have chronicled. However, my beloved Tuono was back in Canada and I was in a Citroen C4. NOT the same. Thank you for some beautiful pictures and a reminder of why I need to travel back to Scotland.
 
Mint pics. I did Fort William in May with a few of my mates. We did a north & south run. Cracking roads. No plod north, but near Oban they were out in force.
 
Ft William looked exactly like these pics when we were there. I'm feeling homesick for the home of my ancestors... The roads there were incredible. My hat is off to those of you that are able to fly low with your Tuonos through those beautiful hills.
