Two years now since we welcomed the ARSouls to the site.
Seems to have worked out pretty well for all concerned imho.
Anyhows, I'll get the first round in. :smt003

Yep - Operation Cuckoo's Nest has been running well - we've gone a long way to taking over and assimilating those who were here before.

We knew resistance would be futile.







And seriously:
..... Many thanks for making us welcome - things were perilously close to shutting down in Aprilia-land when we lost the funding for the old ARS forum.
I think the move has worked out very well for us all .......

Yes I spotted that .... but let it pass.

Of course I could have pointed out that the ARSouls joined the RSouls that were already here .... but I didn't ....

Yeah - a flaw in our planning - we'd not considered the little folk that couldn't climb on to a proper bike.

Enjoy your step-through - at least it's a Piagio so still in the Aprilia family.

Nothing wrong with Japanese bikes - other than the Falco, every bike I've owned has been a Honda ... still got my old 400/4 awaiting restoration.

aye

thanks for the warm welcome chaps - and that step through line is really doing the rounds :)

so - what we gonna work out for samray then?


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
