I was on leave for three weeks back home and nothing went as planned - plenty of rain has killed the fun. At least used the time to make Guzzi shine... (that fork stabilizer was put back in place - the mechanic apparently got one beer more than usual when reassembling the thing). Next riding...
Some photos of the first few days after buying my Tuono. Riding, servicing and fettling it up.
Also replaced the stock exhaust silencer with an exhaust noisier...

Hi, having moved the Tuono from it's winter resting place inside the house out to my somewhat chilly garage thought I'd better carry out some maimtainance for the new riding season. Thought I'd have a look at the plugs as the bike is getting on for 8 years old now although it has only covered 3...
Twas one of them days…… everyone was out to get me !
1) Daft bitch in a 4x4 (yes phatcat a Volvo) roundabout 1 mile from my house decided it was fine to pull out and block the road – stop and gaupe at me while blocking the road – Strike 1
2) 20m later, riding through Masham – a junction on the...
Hi All
Been getting the bike ready for the year ahead and finally got round to fitting the new chain and sprockets l bought last year.
15 front and 44 rear! Took it out today and was blown away by the acceleration and how well it behaved at low speed.
Looking forward to a fun summer ahead...
The full story is here in lots of detail. I went on my MV as I have owned her 3yr 3 months from new and she is my special girl. My Tuono is already 10yrs old and we have only been together for a few months.

Ok track day boys, I know its a track, I know you feel like you are quick, But it is sooooo tame after racing 20 others competiters in anger.. Bikes, cars or karts, racing makes track days a real bore....fD :sleepy
I've done a few track days in the past nearly all sports bikes , hoping to do some next year . Originally I was thinking about a cheap RSVR (subject to cash ) as it would make sense , spares etc but then I got thinking about sticking track fairings on the tuono !!!! Lots of threads on convering...

Hey everyone. Blaming Bridgestone for over-waxing their 002's. Turn one after a 50 mile heat up/break in and I slip my front on a hard left and high side my '05T (and my ribs) and bend my Arrow system. I'm looking for the left side midpipe for the high mount Arrow full race exhaust system...
I went for a trip over the weekend to West Yorkshire, went to see some old friends and some family etc up there, decided to take the Mille, from London to Bradford, its around 225miles journey, got there in 3 hours, only needed to fill up once, and to my complete shock, it did 150 miles before...
