Raw nerve Aprilia's never let me down. Not quite the same story for your gixxer
That's what I like to see, confidence and a belief in Italian companys quality control and supply system. If the Aprilas get to 14 years without a fault I'll buy you a cigar.

If you can then get the part required I'll buy you the lighter.

:-)
I've got a 2002 RSV Mille starts on the button every time. I'll await my cigar and lighter. That's extremely kind of you. =))
Good point.

However, "get" is future tense, I wasn't talking about that bucket of bolts that's probably gone through 3 wiring Looms and a crank already.

Looking forward to this ride. Nick who can't make it, would normally volunteer as TEC, so I'm willing to take on that role.

Have a nice ride and hope it warms up for you - it's 2°c as I get home now at 4.45am and heavy gritting going on the main roads .......
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....

Thank you Brian for leading us through icy wet Devon today, particularly the coffee and cake and loan of the heater for my feet!!
Great to be out on the bike finally and see all your ugly mugs before Christmas 😘

We rode carefully and although we all had "moments", the rubber stayed down. The surprise was coffee and chocolate cake; thank you Brian and Jane.
We all had a laugh, and it was good to meet up again.

Thanks everyone for a great ride out today. Wet, slippery and crud covered though the roads were in places, the skies were clear and it was great just to be out on a bike again.
Special thanks to Brian for organising and leading it and to Roy for sterling work as nominated TEC-man, keeping us (mostly) in order.

More thanks coming up:
1. To the SWB stalwarts (Brian and Chris?) who pushed and heaved the dreaded trumpet into life when it threw yet another hissy fit right at the Wellington start. It made amends by not putting a tyre wrong for the rest of the ride so I wont scrap it just yet.
2. To Brian and Jane for supplying coffee and cake, introducing us to Elgar the dog, and having a heater to hand.

Check out the pic's in the Rideout photo's section.
