Default 996tt and Tuono Thanksgiving

My son rode his new toy over for dinner tonight, 07 Aprilia Tuono. A very serious bike...we just gave them a quick wash. I gave my Dad a ride in the 996tt and he drove it a bit, but said he'd keep it under 80.

Happy Thanksgiving

Very nice! Heck, they even match (kind of ). Sounds like a great way to spend your Thanksgiving with 3 generations involved. I will bet your dad really loved it. My dad was a very good dirt track racer back in the '50's and '60's, but died when I was a kid. He'd be 82 years old now. He was kind of a redneck, so I suspect would not have exhibited the same wisdom your dad did if I could give him the keys to my car.

^ That's about as classic and clean a bike as you'll ever see.

Nice, I ride a Tuono as well - the prior gen. It's a really nice all around bike. Just like the 911 is a really great all around sports car.
