Hey all,
Just getting back into sportbikes after a long time out of the saddle. Picked up an '07 Aprilia RSV1000R two weekends ago. Got a great deal on it (12K miles, $6200) from Wilkins HD in Barre VT. Had to trailer it home in a snowstorm which soiled her pretty good, but she looks pretty snappy now that I've got her cleaned up. All stock except for Leo Vince Ti/CF cans.



Can't wait for all this snow to melt so I can get back to riding! My brother has a Buell 1125R (loves it), and we'll be riding all over NE this summer.

Welcome!! Where abouts in CT? Litchfield County here.

[V8TEC]

I'm over on the other side of the state, Stafford Springs.

Litchfield county must be a great place to ride. We used to cruise out there in our hotrods before I moved to VA. My brother rode to the Beckley Furnace Monument last summer, and I figure since I'm in the steel industry, it would be kinda cool to check it out.

When March 21st arrives, this snow better start melting right quick!!

Thanks guys. I almost bought a leftover Ice White '09 for $9500, but saw this one and couldn't pass it up.

I might paint it next winter.

Thanks dudes. Nice to see some 50º temps today, melting that snow!

Anyone going to the Northeast Motorcycle Expo at the in Hartford? Probably going on Saturday the 26th. Hoping to be able to try on some different brands of gear and maybe bring some stuff home.

Don't waste your time unless you wear a leather vest, 1/2 lid with a spike and work boots on your bike.

And welcome, from Middletown.
