Thursday ride ending with Marion's!!!

I'm up for whatever. I'll be coming from Dayton so it's gonna be a long ride in general to go up. Wherever you want to go, just pick a place. I think I'll use this opportunity to drop by Iron Pony and try on some suits.

^Fail.

Oh that thread! Yeah I did remember reading the dutch rudder part. I don't know how I never to the crushin on MJ part.

I really don't care. Just wherever. So who's going besides you and I?

Uh, yeah I missed that. lol

^Haha, she said booby. I'm not seeing any fantastic MJ. C'mon now.

You wanna tear it up Nick?

Fantastic taken to a whole 'nother level!

Nah, I think you should come down. Thursday night. Marion's in Dayton.

MJ, I've got Marion's pizza...

Woooo! I'm 17th and I've only been here 2 months!

Here's a really good article about the good and bad. http://motorcyclebloggers.com/2005/12/12/motorcycle-review-20005-aprilia-rsv-mille-r/ As for parts availability, AF1 Racing.com has you covered. Check out Apriliaforum.com for more info about the bikes.

They are all good bikes, the motor is practically bulletproof from everything I read as long as you keep oil in it. Some have had electrical gremlins but it's kind of a normal thing. Mine doesn't. Also, these bikes suffer from bad starting systems. You have to keep the starting system in top shape at all times. The normal things are always keep it on a battery tender, keep a good battery in it, upgrade to a Yamaha started relay for $35 and solder this bad plug in the system. Those upgrades are to keep the sprag clutch (starter clutch) from failing. If the sprag fails, it's bad news bears. $350 to replace yourself assuming the starter is ok. That's the biggest weak point to the bike. I'll warn you though, you ride one and you may become an addict. As for the price, seems a little high. I overpaid for mine, stupid but I did. If it's low miles and in really good condition then I'd pay that asking price.

Which one?

Hmmm, all of a sudden this trip to Columbus isn't looking half bad. lol

Year, Mileage, etc? I personally LOVE my RSV. The torque is awesome and the bike feels great compared to my CBR600F which isn't much to compare to. It's a bike that likes to be man-handled around. Has a heavier feel to it but it's not a big deal. Makes sweet sweet sounds. 2000.5 models were nice, but in 01 they revamped the bikes with over 200 new parts, engine raised in the frame, etc. Then they redid the bike again in 03 with a new motor, close ratio gearbox, etc.

Ok....I guess that's a justifiable story for the Mille avatar, lol. I'm SilverGoat on ApriliaForum.

I'm sensing that we need a Marion's pizza night, am i right?

While I am a straight male, I don't leg hump. As for whacking it, c'mon, you know that's reserved for dinner.

Haha, I don't know a single road in Columbus except High Street. And every time I've been there I was drunk, lol. But yes, I'd ride afterwards if we got someone who knew where they were going.

Hmmm, ride up to Columbus from Dayton for lunch. Sounds like a leghumper thing to do, but maybe. Not like I'm working right now.

^lulz I'm bored not at work. Bike is down and I don't feel like tinkering with it right now. I need moneyz, must get off vacation, lol!
