    I bought an Aprilia and finally took a few pics

    They are just iPhone pics, but good enough. It's a 2007.5 Aprilia Tuono 1000 R and it has 11,000 miles on it. Mods include carbon pipes, heated grips, laminar lip windscreen, and plug for GPS. I bought it as my FZ6 replacement. I'll be using it for all TW same duties: sport touring...

    Should I buy this 2007.5 Aprilla Tuono?

    HERE IS THE ADVERTISEMENT: :thumbup: This is the 139 hp naked sport bike with 10,689 miles and the bullet proof rotax v-twin motor that is no longer available. In 2007.5 Aprilia boosted the rotax motor horsepower significantly, so do not confuse this bike with 2007 and earlier models...

    Vid From a Recent Track Day (Infineon Raceway) - FZ6

    So I did a track day this past Monday. First one since 2009 and I had a blast. I've done a ton of street riding since my last track day and am a much better/confident rider than I was then. I've never had so much fun at the track...no butterflies...just pure joy. So it was 33 F at the track...

    Thinking about selling and parting out Ohlins, Givi, rizome rearsets, R6 forks/brakes, etc., etc.

    BT-016 (front): 2,100 miles and toast?

    2,100 miles of mixed use (no less than 400 miles of straight line highway, possibly more, with the rest being pretty twisty) Side are pretty much done Wear bars...would you keep riding this front? I think I'm done with 016s for now I'd probably keep this tire going for a while...

    Down to the cords, with pics

    Well, this rear BT-016 served me well for around 4,500 mles. By chance I used these tires on two long trips which both included a few hundred miles of highway (in recent history most of my tires have managed to do much less highway). I had camping gear on the bike for about 2400 of the miles...

    POLL: Do you Cross the Double Yellow?

    Straight forward question....just curious what others do. Poll is PRIVATE. My friend crosses the double-yellow to pass when safe/prudent but stays in his lane otherwise. He does this very often on back roads. Sometimes if he comes up on a chain of cars on a twisty road he'll...

    Givi Top Case Rack - Mounting Issues

    EDIT - see post #8 The Givi rack using a 6-point mounting system. The top two mounting points (left and right) mount directly to the subframe using some sort of expansion bolt system (similar to what you would use to mount handguards on a dirt bike or dualsport bike). Does anyone have an...

    BT-016: Dual Compound shows itself!

    These pictures were taken when the tires had about 2,400 miles on them. You can see I am at the wear bars and according to the manufacturer, they should be replaced. However, that would be crazy as they are still providing good grip. If you look really closely, you can make out the dual...
