I daren't try the Tuono as I know I would want one and I don’t really want the hassle of owning an Aprilia again plus the dealership network is crap.

I doubt fitting non legal exhausts will be an option in a few years time. It’s slowly being eradicated one way or another.

There's a "hollowness" to it that I quite like. Like it's been hooked up to an Ibanez Tube Screamer!!

I hope MOT testers stay sympathetic to none OEM cans on older bikes

Now being run up the hill in practice for the Pikes Peak race this weekend.

Who's riding it...Andre The Giant??

Carlin Dunne has had a big crash on the last run in to the finish line. No news on his condition at the moment.

I clicked the link and it’s been updated in the last 45 mins.

Poor bloke died. RIP.

I was reading the tributes to other riders who've died on the peak.....one guy crashed & died after crossing the finish line! That's gotta suck....a true "Silver Dream Racer" moment.

Terrible news. RIP

IIRC the finish line has about 50m of tarmac before turning into a gravel car park.

Tragic news though, surviving the entire stretch of dangerous tarmac then dying after completing it

R.I.P

"race to the clouds". Almost too apt. RIP.
