Any advance on 84?
 
Just been checking out the Tuono forum, and there is a chap of a mere 84 years young on there who is getting a Tuono delivered this week. Mad, but at the same time quite humbling, and heartwarming to think it is possible for any one of us to be enjoying two wheels as an octogenarian.
He started with bikes at 16, and his wife was pillion until she passed on at 80.

Does anyone know of an older biker in Britain?

Who's the oldest SV owner on here anyway? Step right up and be proud. :D

It terrifies me that anyone born in 1989 would even be capable of reaching the pedals.

Does it say what the tuono is replacing, if anything?

:riding: Can't beat the 84, but 67 and counting, the only problem is trying to remember when was the last time you got your leg-over "bike of course"
