The Aprilia demo area at the Hoot. Riders raced for the sign-up table when the gates opened at 7:30 am to secure a demo ride. Aprilia had the most demo sportbikes at the Hoot. If you get a chance try one of those Tuonos, the ultimate Dragon bike!!!! We rode a couple one evening and immediately ordered two.
