After yesterday and at that price it does look tempting, will it fold up small enough to get it under pillion seat ?

Hiya Fizz,

It's a bit bulky to be honest mate to go under the pillion. It's quite padded, sort of double lined, I think it would be a bit of a struggle to get it under the pillion

But well worth the money, Nagai has had about a couple of them so far, and I think they came highly rated in MCN or something, I seem to remember him telling me.

I have got a black oversuit that one of the lads in work gave me, that does roll into itself into a zipped pocket thing, but it's not as wind/water proof as the Spada. It also rips quite easily. whilst the Spada seems to be real easy to get over your boots.

Cool cheers for the info

Mass - mine was ultra-stinky too.

Cleaned it this morning, took bloody hours but as it is in such good nick (nice one Mr Curtis again), well worth it.

I didn't mind as the weather was good and I bought a new 40m hose

Hi Ian,

Glad your treating her as she deserves

Sorry I missed the ride, a couple of things came up that I couldn't put off.

To be honest I was slightly relieved I couldn't go - the Tuono is a bit of a handful in the wet.

I found the original air filter last week (in the K&N box). If you want it just pop in. I also forgot to give you the abba stand fitting kit, if you don't want it I'll post it on the site as a giveaway.

Cheers
Rich

BTW: Don't order the Large, ITS MASSIVE !! I sent it back and had the medium.

Well worth the money, I was toasty n warm yesterday

Jabba, that site is cheaper than where I got mine, so I'd recommend that one. Re the size, mine is a large and it's a bit loose on me (although not ludicrously so). So I probably agree with Mass that you want a medium. Used mine again today to get back to Ciren and again, not a drop on me ('cept my boots and gloves

)

You definately have got yourself a really nice bike there mate

well looked after, as I said on Saturday, I remember Rich Curtis putting photo's of her on here a while back, and even then I thought what a nice looking bike.

Plus you keep getting MORE

bits of Rich...jammy sod!

See ye soon mate

Its a cracker - I am very lucky.

Just got to keep her sparkling. Brought her to work today even though weather a bit iffy.

My commute is 3 miles as opposed to your 240 though

Take it easy.

Guess quite a few peeps will be going to the annual ride-out? I'm up for that, not camping though.

Forgot to say Mass that your bike is a cracker too. Must be a bugger to keep it like that considering the miles that you do?
