Got back at 1am this morning with the Tuono in the back of the van. Had to work this morning but still spent half an hour checking all the nice shiny bits out

Spending the afternoon getting to know it in the shed coz its BLOODY RAINING outside

You can ride them in the rain m8, they don,t melt.

Congrats on the new bike... pics are compulsory!

never rode the earlier model, but I had an '06 and did 25,000 kms in just under 12 months on it. Brilliant bike and excellent all-rounder - track, touring and Coro loop. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I did mine.

PS They are a great wet weather bike with the way they put the power to the ground and also the V twin engine braking. Much more confidence inspiring than in line fours.

Hi Helen,

Someone must have modified the Belly pan for the side stand. Got any pics for an idea?

**YellowDog** · 27th March 2011, 08:22

Nice bit of kit. Just in time for the winter season

Congrats to you.

**mokomoa** · 27th March 2011, 10:27

Beut bike for sure.
Be carefull with the stand m8, they are a little dicey to say the least.
Is it for the road or track?

Sorry Nick,ran out of time today

Its been neatly cut out for the side stand - will put up a shot soon....reckon the side stand on the Tuono is a million times better than the Ducati - it was scary!
