Gonna get some fitted to the Tuono (the one with the rather tasty blue wheels) in the next few weeks. Need to get my seat sorted out too.

Cant beat warm hands and a comfy bum!! :2up

The look and reaction by a driver last night, sitting at roundabout talking into his phone which he was holding in his right hand.

A biker wearing a bright yellow jacket :biggrin2 , sounded his horn with three short blasts, then pointed at the drivers phone.
(I think the biker was alerting the driver of his presence, as it was obvious that the driver was being a danger and not aware of other road users)

The driver jumped a mile, stunned look on his face, hit a button on the phone and placed it on the passengers seat, with a look of “please don’t do anything”.

Don’t you just love it, when writing on a negative “just hate” thread, you have a good idea to post up a new topic that might help other bikers :2up :2up

Corners…twisties

Accelerating :biggrin2

Hilly / undulating roads :biggrin2

Accelerating up hilly / undulating roads, that are twisty :biggrin2 :boing :biggrin2 :boing


I just love the A97 between Strathdon and Huntly, and the A944 between Mossat and Alford, travelling in either direction :2up

It is almost better at night in the dark with clear sky's so the stars and moonlight can outline the landscape features.
