Cheers
I'll post this in the rides section too, but I figure more people will look on here.
Great ride today, weather wasn't as good as we hoped, overcast nearly all day and cold, but the roads were dry.

It is different owning one of these. First off despite being on the trickle charger i had no idea if it would start given the stories here, and it did :)

fitting some nice Tuono forks and 320mm discs with some nice 4 pad calipers and a shiny silver forged OZ to the front of my old boys bike, oh and a nice ohlins with adjustable preload on the back of the old girl.
Some power rangers are in for a shock next year:devious

Got these for £37 and the quality is superb, I compared them to the levers at the local triumph shop that were £139.....no difference apart from the fancy bling name

Feature on the T today in MCN
"Among the best used motorcycle buys you will find"
"The aprilia tuono is one of the mad-est production motorcycles you can buy - it is also one of the most pleasant on a plain, old - fashioned sunday blast"
"stonking great gobs of poke from V twin torque"...
So what advantage does a 3" taller genuine Aprilia screen actually offer on an 06 TuonoR?
I can tell you. Absolutely feck all.
It does look very nice ... bit of a double-bubble thing going on but in terms of protection and general performance its perhaps WORSE than the dinky short standard...
Just skiiving off in the office bog having a sit-down with MCN and got to their Top Ten Best Handling Sports Bikes feature (as voted for by readers).

Hi Guys, my first post here. Ferry to the Isle of Skye today to exchange my Honda SP2 for a beautiful, low miles, 05 Factory that I saw in Wigan a couple of weeks ago. Unlucky with the weather, raining all day. The bikes were exchanged I looked the Factory over and pressed the starter, and...
