So, are you keeping it? :p :D

I realised yesterday after getting back on my CB400 that the Tuono has some vibrations, the CB400 felt buttery smooth compared to it. Nothing bad though, just makes the mirrors not that useful over 60mph... :p

When sitting in traffic it does get pretty hot, approaching 100 degrees, vs in the 70's when sitting on the motorway, don't think my radiator fans have ever come on on my CB400. It has a tiny radiator, the Tuono has 3 (2 oil coolers and a rad)!

Actually I was wrong, the arrow headers come as 2 parts, the headers and a separate link pipe, effectively cancelling out the cat, sounds exactly the same as the titanium headers but isn't aesthetically pleasing! I can have the arrow headers by Friday or the titanium in 4 months..

Seriously, there's no contest here! Titanium is ridiculously good looking :D. I'd fork out £1k for those custom ones on the Nuda if I had to and if I had one.
 
Just comeback from a ride, 110 miles. I had trouble getting my leathers off, the sweat worked as superglue haha. :p
 
So guess who rode to work this morning with promises of lovely weather in his mesh jacket, kevlar jeans and not a single waterproof in sight.

Right now it's been belting it down with thunder and lightening for the last hour and according to the met office will be continuing for at least another hour.

Well at least my feet and head will stay dry I suppose :rolleyes:
 
My dad's car showed 37c at some point when he was stuck in traffic and a guy who we rode said the weather showed 34c. :p
 
At this rate I've got a feeling I'll be doing my best boat impression on the way home again like earlier in the year. FFS :mad:
 
It's too hot. Not looking forward to the ride home if i'm honest.
I wish my jacket was more airy... Bike jeans though, so less of the betty swollocks.
 
I think, I'll order body armour... was thinking about textile jacket but its not as well ventilated. Its waay too hot for wearing my dainese textile jacket. :p

What do you people use to keep the leathers nice and fresh? To clean them up, I use baby wipes, but not sure what to use for inside... textiles I just damp in the washing machine without armour and job done. Not doing that with my leathers though!

Have a look for some heavier bar end weights - they really do make all the difference.

Get a proper mesh jacket. Separate body armour means you'll have no abrasion resistance which is the main issue in a lot of crashing ripping your skin off.
 
Saved mine from probably getting tampered with or stolen today.

Parked up at a client's site. Car park is fenced off and "private", but still visible from the pavement/road and there was one of those dodgy hand car wash stalls sort of next to, but outside the fenced off bit. Wasn't overly happy about parking it there, but it is busy/watched grounds, so disc locked it and made my way in.

Looked around when I was at the other side of the car park, 2 little chavvy looking ******* with their dog making their way directly towards it, staring at it. They then realised I was rushing back over there and changed their course and made their way to the other side of the car park, all the time glancing back and staring at me.

Along with that, a bunch of kids had appeared out of nowhere crowded around a moped that was chained to a signpost by the fence.

Yeah, I moved my bike right outside my client's office where I could watch it during in the meeting...

I hate Coventry, I really do. Every time I go there, it's full of retard drivers, chavs and other scum. So glad I don't live anywhere close.

Lucky escape there! I've started working in a school recently with, less than desirable kids, and one of the scalawags tried to sit on my bike until I glared out of the window
 
I hate thieves... I'm lucky where I live, yesterday I left like an idiot tools outside my house as I did some quick tweaks and they were exactly where I left them for the whole evening/night till today's morning. :)

What do you people use on your leather, someone posted a link from amazon but I can't seem to find it... also how do you keep your leathers fresh? As in the interior...
