Superb work mate. You should make a movie out of this. 'The no owner Tuono that was claimed by Joe now" Re hazards the Internet says they're mandatory, but my 2015ish mt125 didn't have them so I'm gonna say no. Maybe it's a new thing? And order bikes wouldn't require a retrofit? Dunno, I'm not an automotive lawyer, as you well know.

Bicycle pump? Happy to help - I'm a qualified armchair mechanic because I watch so many youtube rebuilds

I see people flush with brake cleaner than air line it. I had assumed that left zero residue.

What can't you dry? Tried a heat gun or hair dryer? I presume so but...

Unfortunately it's a 2 for 1 package - you get both!

Been there

Wait till you get a letter from your lawyer! Way more expensive per word

Howdy! Welcome.

Exciting stuff Tried emailing or linkedin the ceo of Aprilla?

No clue mate sorry, never nicked a bike before myself

£180 isn't bad for a whole bike. And by isn't bad I mean, it's literally basically free.

Paint is always the best bit

Well you know what they say about project budgets (same applied to timelines) Got a rough budget? Good, now double it. Got your new budget? Cool, it will be a bit more than that.

Why not make it 10mph eh? Safer still!

What an excellent story.

This is an excellent thread.

2050?! Bikes will be outlawed by then, or every road will be 20mph so no one will want to ride. In the uk at least.

I try and avoid carbs

Welcome! What's an f2?!

I went to the pub yesterday. 10/10 would recommend.

You can get a mt10 for 8k, or a superbike like an r1, gixxer... I put 17k miles on my mt10, great bike. Can do motorways just fine. Love my current gixxer.

Gixxer gaaang!

Congrats!

Could've been way way worse!
