Hello All

Just thought I would put a quick post up to say hello to everyone.

Just moved over to Aprilia from many Ducati and Jap bikes (oh and a KTM Superduke), 46 year old and been riding and working on bikes since the age of 14, used to change the bikes every year so i've had errr one or two.

Picked up a brand new Black ABS model from Motec over in Newcastle Upon Tyne on the 1st September, total mileage done so far 560.

Mods so far are R&G rad and oil cooler guards, tail tidy and a very nice Akropovic pipe.

Love the bike, can't keep off it.

Met a fellow owner up Hartside Cafe on Saturday afternoon with a very smart yellow APRC, get a pipe on it Mikkel !

Anyway enough blather, hope to see some local V4's around.

Regards

Stu (Edward Hitler)

Welcome Eddy,
As I said the other night, a nice looking bike.

Good intro, puts many to shame.
 
Welcome Stu and nice to meet you on Saturday. Lovely bike!

I'm still humming and harring, but I think I'm leaning towards an Austin Racing exhaust... I like the Akros but begrudge the wedge.

I looked at Austin racing but expect to pay £750 new, so I settled on the hp course and you know how that sounds ;)


Hello Eddy there is a few of us northern folk on here. If you ever got to wetlands might bump into you.
 
Hey Eddy

Welcome to the forum matey :)

Love the bike and it makes me want to bat **** crazy and spend money I don't have lol.

It looks like one bad *** mother f**ker of a bike .....and I'm gonna have to test ride one at some point now lol.
 
Welcome mucker, yer machine looks brill in yer pic.

Wish I had room fir a v4 in ma shed,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,love ma v2 tae bits but a widnae have another ape.

Any suggestions fir a capable v4 other than an ape.
 
Cheers everyone for the wellcome

Just a quick word of warning for those who don't own a V4, do not test ride one, you "WILL" want to buy one !

It should be called the "Liam Neeson" ! (it has a special set of skills, it will hunt you down, it will find you and get you to part with your money)

That engine is addictive and ballistic in equal measures !

You have been warned !

Regards

Stu

I'm in darlo if you wanted to check out the sound and quality of the austin racing before buying buddy. I've got a titanium gp2r and its a cracking piece of kit
 
Hello Eddy, does Richie Rich know you have blown the rent money on a TV4!

Welcome aboard the good ship adrenaline. You will find that you rarely see other TV4s when out and about because most people aint got balls big enough to ride em! Enjoy. Rob
 
If my balls were any bigger I wouldn't be able to ride one! It's like sitting on a pair of friggin' coconuts!!!!
Just sayin' :blush
