Why don't we get any newbies who DON'T ride Aprilias?


I'm beginning to fell rather out on a limb..............

Gowaan - you know you want one - join in with us and participate in the whole forum!

Sorry if it does seem like a takeover - but I think I guess the 'problem' is not the influx of Aprilias but that slower influx of other makes.

BTW, how's that new trike of yours?

There's plenty of NON Aprilia members, just that the ARS side of life is quite strong.. well, the Falco side of ARS anyways..

BG if you want to have a shooftie lemme or sam know and we'll add you to the ARS group so you can have a look.. you can always dump it again if you find it boring..

Two wheels, two pistons.. how much can these people find to talk about?!!

:smt002

Ive still got my Trumpet and GPz tho'

Having brought my Aprilla to work this morning she has decided not to run properly on all cylinders unless the lights are on... and since she is a single this was a little lumpy! - ho hum... bring on the WD40!

I would have another bike, but the missus made me sell it - just the 'prilla, so the bling gets salt-crusted all year round :smt003

Lumpy engine, shite commuter bikes, lousy fuel consumption, can't get spares and can't sell the damn things for decent money because no one wants one.



Apart from that I quite liked mine - wouldn't have it back though
