I like this, a lot. Well done Ben!

Although there seem to be a few permissions bugs around. I can't get into the 'Aprilia Technical' or 'Forum Feedback' areas. (Haven't looked into everything as yet, but those two need looking at...)
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

Well done Ben for taking on an old forum and trying to make it work against the tide of Facebook and WhatsApp groups. Personally I prefer a forum, so you’ve already attracted 1 newbie, keep up the good work

I have to agree with Ian, not been as regular as in the past, but sad to see the dwindling activity.
I know this was partly due to lack of Falcos still on the road, and happy to see Visordown people joining.
Many thanks to all those people who have kept it going in the past, and very many thanks for the work Ben has done to sort things so quickly!

P.S. where's Andy to tell us exactly how many Falcos left????????

I like the work that has been done so far and thanks to Jake and all admins who have stuck through what have been a few lean years. It'd be nice to see some of the Visordown people again (Hello Riceburner).
Sadly my time on the web is limited as my cancer has got worse and I'm due in hospital next week for a process called Car/t therapy but everyone is hopeful it'll work.
Enough about me, its great to be back.
Good luck Ben.
I hate it when people ask if you have a bathroom, I want to say "No we pee in the garden"

Fingers crossed for the therapy! Shitty time of year for it.

So that's the reason I got a notification......Ben's on the case!

Unfortunately Social Media has killed off so many forums.......my site (Maximum Bikes) shut down years ago because of it.

I'll certainly support what Ben's trying to do......but you guys may not appreciate my Winter ride reports from Spain! :smt003
