    Tuono... my last sports bike.

    My age is not helping my knees and wrists... so Tuono became my last sports bike. I loved every second but it was time.
    Today, I repalced my old CapoNord deceased 4y ago for something equivalent.

    It really sucks to get old!!!

    thanks guys to answer some of my stupid questions. Ride safe!!!

    03 Cappy; 07 Tuonita, both gone but never forgotten

    I know the feeling Olie. My days of riding sport bikes are about over. Spending my youth "Picking fights with thunderstorms and crashing into trees" has caught up with me.

    Know what you mean...unfortunately. Had an 07.5 T and loved every bit of the 17K plus miles and seven track days that I rode her. But alas, the T made my bones ache once in a while so I went to a Multistrada last fall. Sure miss that T every now and then...hmmmmm
