Any other member got a Pegaso 650, I bought mine in April this year and haven't seen another one since. Are they that rare. Great little bike, go's like the clappers.

I do.... but will be selling it soon...

I got one, she's nearly ten years old, great engine, but occasionally delicate electrics. Pipes rotted through - but she now sounds superb with aftermarket stainless zorsts

Where are you located Snapdragon!!

I'm in Wiltshire,
I noticed there seem to be two versions now - is yours the street or trail type?

they do go some don't they? somehow that single pot pulls you along to license worrying speeds without thinking twice however PeggySue is currently awaiting treatment for serious hiccups, I'm hoping it's muck or water in the tank and not head gasket.

Mine is a trail type commonly known as a Cube. I don't do off road, so it's on road tyres. I had one or two problems with mine when I first bought it. It was boiling the battery dry, so a new rectifier sorted that. It still needed a new battery though as the original got fried. Apart from that I just check it over and ride it. I did 277 miles on it last Sunday on the Reclaim North Wales protest rally. Went like a bomb, just minor arse ache when I got home.

Nod nod - having had the foam scooped out (so as to get my toes down) the seat's a bit hard - really must get one of those gel pad things. Too old to 'just put up with it' lol

I was going to suggest the AF1 prila forum if you're looking for more Peg owners but I see you're on there already

Hi Al. Haven't seen an official welcome for you (although I may have missed it). Anyway welcome to the fold mate.

Sorry mate, must have missed that my self. Thanks for the welcome. I ride an Aprilia Pegaso 650, about all I can get my leg over these days. They reckon your ready for the box at three score years and ten, well I'm still goin'! Roll on keep em coming.

Yes - Welcome Al.

Tweaker and Howard will be glad that there's someone here to make them feel a little bit younger.

..... you've still plenty of years left to follow Len Vale-Onslo's example ...... riding his bike to collect his 100yrs telegram from Her Maj !

There's always a challenge in life and there's always some b-------d better, lived longer, fitter than you!!!!

Ooops, forgot to welcome you Al.
Nice to have you on board. Don't care how old you are!
Anyway if it wasn't for "older" blokes on bikes, there'd be about half as many bikes on the road.

Ha ha -- if it wasn't for older blokes on bikes this forum would be bloody quiet
