[OreoGaborio]

Yeah... I'm definitely diggin the new bike and thanks for lettin me take her for a rip
... now FIX DEM FOOKIN BRAKES




This picture gives you guys an idea of how nice the paint is on this thing... and it doesn't even do it justice. Whoever did the respray on this bad boy did an AMAZING job Not a HINT of orange peel

[Rye]

Thanks dude. Pretty impressed with the Tuono too. What a meaty motor and real nice handling machine.

Hopefully a dual disk setup with rebuild will get them up to 80's standards for braking...lol. I knew going into this thing that the frame was gonna flex more than a gymnast and the brakes are circa flintstone. Adds to the charm though!

[Brian675]

Looks like fun.
