...And has a brand new battery 

Photos updaterated. Finally...

Is it innapropriate to impersonate Batman? Spongebob, George Carlin, or any other hero? That's what kids do... They explore the world through play and make-believe. (Some have more access to props than others, though). Depending on the kid's age, he may have been borderline disrespectful. Perhaps he doesn't have another appropriate role-model to advise him of such a faux-pas. In that respect, as long as CS kept his cool: good job... I'd've kept it out of the men's room, though.

Now, a grown-ass man running around like that is a whole 'nother thing.

Front and rear Pitbull stands will also be included with this bike.

Aprilia parts are not a problem to obtain. Not sure how the parts prices compare to the more common bikes, though. Torquey V-twin Superbike is a blast to ride..!

apriliaforum.com is an awesome resource for knowledge/help and parts.

Yes, not doing trackdays this year due to a grade III shoulder separation back in April. Coming along, but hard braking is too iffy. Changing hobbies for a while... 

Still trying to get some better photos taken. Between the rain, work and gym can't seem to find a good time to roll it out.

Well, the trailer has moved on to a new owner.

Hope to get some sexier shots of the ape posted this weekend.

No one has called me paranoid to my face, but I know they're all saying it when I am not around. I'll show them who's paranoid.

bump...

Dibs on 3 rail if it doesn't sell as a package

Noted.

No longer a feeler, letting go of this one. I've owned it since 0.6 miles.

Front and rear Pitbull stands will also be included with this bike.

I no longer have any of the street parts.

Has some asphalt/gravel rash from a lowside, as well as a couple dents in the swingarm from the exhaust and rearset.

Took the belly pan off of the Mille to do an oil change, and forgot to pull the inner plastic support panel out that wraps around the inner side of the exhaust, basically leaving it lay directly on the exhaust.

Changed the oil, then started the bike to circulate and check oil level (dry sump). After running it for a couple minutes I started smelling a nasty melting/burning plastic smell…Realizing what I had done (or not done) I looked underneath to see a black gooey glob bubbling on the link pipe.

Went inside to check the AF1 racing site to see how much this OEM piece of Italian plastic was going to cost me. Didn’t feel as dumb when I read the part description:

 

Genuine Aprilia exhaust wrap panel for '98-'03 Mille, Mille-R.

This is the plastic panel situated behind the exhaust where it exits the fairing. 

This piece is frequently burned during oil changes.

 

I'm interested but I'm 6'1" 200... think jacket would fit Me?

 

 

 

NM I see you are far smaller then me... damn jacket was perfect look I wanted.

If you have a local shop with Alpinestars gear, try some on for size.  I bought this jacket when I was about 35# heavier, and with room for an extra layer.  

Good prices. I had a Stage jacket on for both of my wrecks. It held up great and saved a lot of my skin! GLWS

 Thanks

Whew ! Horlick sounds dangerous ! Lol!!

Nothing penicillin won't fix...

Temporary price reduction! $250

 

You can live in it, live in it, laugh in it, love in it
Swim in it, sleep in it,
Live in it, swim in it, laugh in it, love in it
Removes embarrassing stains from contour sheets, that's right
And it entertains visiting relatives, it turns a sandwich into a banquet
Tired of being the life of the party?
Change your shorts, change your life, change your life
Change into a nine-year-old Hindu boy, get rid of your wife,
And it walks your dog, and it doubles on sax
Doubles on sax, you can jump back Jack, see you later alligator
See you later alligator
And it steals your car
It gets rid of your gambling debts, it quits smoking
It's a friend, and it's a companion,
And it's the only product you will ever need
Follow these easy assembly instructions it never needs ironing
Well it takes weights off hips, bust, thighs, chin, midriff,
Gives you dandruff, and it finds you a job, it is a job
And it strips the phone company free take ten for five exchange,
And it gives you denture breath
And you know it's a friend, and it's a companion
And it gets rid of your traveler's checks
It's new, it's improved, it's old-fashioned
Well it takes care of business, never needs winding,
Never needs winding, never needs winding
Gets rid of blackheads, the heartbreak of psoriasis,
Christ, you don't know the meaning of heartbreak, buddy,
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
'Cause it's effective, it's defective, it creates household odors,
It disinfects, it sanitizes for your protection
It gives you an erection, it wins the election
Why put up with painful corns any longer?

 

 

Great... Just what we need: More Chinese-made crap.

Somebody needs these (You know who you are..!).

Change makes me grumpy.

Usually I just say 'Welcome. Otherwise, No worries.

Somehow, though, I've noticed that I've picked up the strange habit of saying Good Morning in response to Hello, no matter the time of day.

Unless it's actually morning, then I just grunt.

I'm 5'8" 150#, 31" inseam

The pants fit me like leathers should, the jacket is larger/more loose...

Made me think of a few folks...
