Pure Performance!
There’s a time and place for a fire, and in my garage, on my Mille, wasn’t it.
I’m easily distracted at the best of times, but hearing the Aprilia boom into life for the very first time completely consumed me… so much so that I didn’t clock the leak from the fuel tank drowning the rear exhaust manifold.
To prove the old adage wrong, there was smoke, but thankfully no fire, but I did nearly head to my daughter’s sand pit with a bucket just in case! Despite this issue, I was buzzing because I’d been in disbelief that this box-of-bits bodge would actually work. Better still, to my primitive ear, the motor didn’t sound too bad. But what did I know, so the time had come to seek out some expertise and to get my RSV a much needed health check.
If there’s a ‘Mr. Aprilia’ in the UK, it’s Griff Woolley. He’s a guy who’s been around these bikes since day one, first as an official Aprilia
