Hello!
I have an Aprilia Tuono 125, iv only had it a couple months and I’m so in love with it!
But something is going very weird.
Sunday I went to the shops, it was parked and locked up for maybe half hour - when I come back out to it the screen was lit up and the lights were on…I panicked thinking I left the key in, I hadn’t and it was turned in the off/locked position and the key was safely in my pocket so I was a bit like wtf thinking maybe someone tried to do something to it but I couldn’t see any other signs of that (it’s really dusty from where I work and there was no finger marks or anything)
Anyway I got it home and went to lock it away and as I went to turn it off: the engine cut out perfect but the screen came back on again and it end up taking a few attempts to get it off but it appeared to stay off.
Yesterday morning turned it on fine so i thought it couldn’t have come back on otherwise the battery would have been drained surely?
Got to work - again a few attempts to turn it off, came back out a couple hours later to check on it and it was on again 😩 I rang my mate in work who has a lot of experience with bikes to ask him if he could help locate the battery cause I wanted to disconnect it so it didn’t drain it and the battery wasn’t under my seat but he was busy (this was about 11am)
Came back out to check about midday and it was off still, but when I came back out around 3pm it was still off but I see my friend I had rang earlier and he said he had seen it on again after he had spoke to me, so I turned it on and the battery was not drained so I was just confused af and then it turned off and stayed off first attempt!
Got it home and it took more attempts to get it to stay off and then later in the night i noticed the light was on through the shed door and this time it had fucked the battery I tried to turn it on and it didn’t tick over it just went into disco mode until I finally managed to disconnect the battery 😩

I have never heard of bikes turning themselves on before so I am so confused and worried, has anyone experienced anything like this at all or has any electrical knowledge to what may have caused this?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much 💙

I’m just sharing because I’m still really hyped!
I’d been riding alone since I got my bike about a month and a half ago, slowly building my confidence, which is great but never really knew where to go, tonight two friends on big boy bikes came out with me and I had the best time. I could not keep up, I didn’t even try. They waited where they could bless them but I didn’t wanna spoil their ride by slowing down for me, we didn’t even go anywhere just drove around for an hour but I absolutely loved it so much so I just wanted to share my hype with people who are most likely to get it.

I know it sounds so silly as well but when we was passing people it felt so nice to be the one on the bike, rather than being the pedestrian turning around and looking with hearts in my eyes wishing it was me and my friends🥹

Hope you have all had a lovely day!!!! ❤️🖤

Hello! I done my CBT and got myself my first bike about a month ago, I’m not going out on it everywhere but try to have a little drive around getting used to the roads a few times a week. I’m in my 30’s and never drove a car so getting used to the roads is a challenge. I know the basic rules and such and I always keep my satnav on so I can see what the road speed limits are but where I am very new to being on the road and trying to be aware of all going on around me (where a car might pull out, people crossing, etc) some of the road speeds seem insanely fast for those kind of areas and I get nervous because it’s less time I have to react if something does go wrong, how do you get used to it? Especially on roads you aren’t familiar with? Am I safer going a few mph (5-10) less than the speed limit despite having cars behind me?
I tend to go out in quieter times on the road so that I’m not holding up traffic but I don’t want to be like this, did anyone else have this when they were starting out? How did you get used to it?

Has anyone used tanning drops? If so how would recommend them? Which brand did you use? Was it a natural looking tan? All the things all the details please if you don’t mind 🙏🏼
I have the most dull skin and it only looks - well not good but better with a tan but also just went through a skin cancer scare, I know too much sun exposure is bad for skin and ages it so I’m trying to explore other routes, I’m super down at the moment and my appearance is a big contributor to that. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much in advance 🙏🏼 💙

I just need to let it out somewhere sorry.
I’m so down and sad at the moment, I can’t sleep great, I don’t have much of an appetite, I have zero motivation. I used to be so fit and active and now I just can’t bring myself to go to the gym or anything of the sort.
I was very unhappy in a relationship, I am even unhappier not in that relationship but I think he has moved on, I don’t even know if he has, just a feeling that I can’t shake. I love him, I always have, he’s always been my person but I don’t think I was ever his and that’s what lead to the breakup. Being with somebody who does not love you is so hard and draining. But my goodness…somehow this is so much harder. It’s affected every aspect of my life, this sadness, and unmotivated feeling. I have so much to do and all I end up doing is doom scrolling on Facebook and instagram. It’s affecting me as a parent, it’s affecting my work, it’s affecting my health and appearance. Everything feels so heavy, I haven’t felt this way since i went on antidepressants when I was 20, I was on them for 10 years but I feel like I need something but I don’t want to go back on them again. I feel like I need a hug, a slap in the face, a nap, a run I don’t know, I don’t know how to deal with these emotions because I’m torn and conflicted and I cannot think straight to save my life right now I just want this pain to end. How can one person send me into such a mental decline that’s affecting everything else, one man has this power over me that he does not even realise. It makes me feel so weak minded and pathetic.

Just a fun question 😅Is there any little things you do before a ride or have something as “good luck” you won’t ride without?
I have got it in my head that I HAVE to wear my good luck ring, matching underwear, and I have to give the bike an affectionate pat before we set off 😅 anyone else have any little things like this 😂😂
