rather then "its awesome"

heres a little background on my riding. coming from an f3 and an rc51. havnt done a track day but like to ride twistys at a good clip. im still learning alot regarding technique.

the bike corners and rides good. one thing im working on is my rider input, its a little different from how i input my steering and body position on my rc. one thing i did notice about the suspension was it may need a tune for somewhat agressive riding. i dont really consider myself fast, but on some local twisties the bike felt a little jittery on some of the bumpier corners, but it could also be from my body position as well. but overall, really fun to toss around, kind of like a big dirtbike.

Tuning the suspension? You can do that? Could be the tires too, after you break it in a little (the bike and the tires) it might go away. Did they find out what the problem with it was yet?

Ring....ring...ring....

Aprilia: Ciao, la ringrazia per Aprilia di chiamare. Come possiamo aiutarla?

Seacoast: Hi, we have a Shiver that is throwing a few codes. Any idea what they could be?

Aprilia: Facciamo delle biciclette.

Seacoast: Huh? Do you speak English?

Aprilia: Sì, posso parlare degli inglesi perfetti. Ma ciò non sarebbe qualunque divertimento, farebbe adesso esso?

Seacoast: English, do you speak it?

Aprilia: L'italiano, lei lo parla?

Seacoast: God damn it!!!! (click)

Seacoast: Just clear the codes and tell him it's all set, throw in a free Aprilia Key chain while you're at it......Fucking Italians...

Id like to get a good look at that one of these days. Im debating if I want a more upright ride for myself. I still love riding the RC and the R6 at least the time I get on the R6 but Id like something a bit more comfy

ill have to shoot down there sometime give you guys a good look at it. i know the front forks arnt adjustable but the rear sachs is. i loved riding the rc, but the commute to and from the twisties is what killed it for me. that and ill be commuting alot for my new job so i was done with the rc. ill buy one again someday

Bring it on by today or tomorrow. I have a few hours today but around 6ish I have to make dinner

Tomorrow I have all day. Well I should have all day. Ill know more by tomorrow morning but the chances are Im free. If you want my address let me know. It should be a nice little ride for you to get here. Maybe 20min or so to Mansfield unless you take the scenic route. I have my RC here as well. The other bikes are at the shop in Bellingham.

WTF is a Yamaha plate doing on an Aprilia?

You ought to be bitch slapped on the 'nads for even accepting that plate!

Come on people, now is the time to slap him around a bit while his head is still in the clouds!

Nice bike!
