Ooooh fukkit yeh! My bike alone sounds like a friggin bomb going off inside your head. Let alone an entire swarm of them?:roost
Had to go into York friday for work, place I had to visit was smack in the middle of a pedestrian area, vehicles only allowed through on business, so thought f**k it will go on the bike as Yorks a nightmare mid afternoon.. Going down a narrow pedestrian area full of people on the RSV had me giggling like a 5 year old inside my helmet..Talk about parting of the waves, some people were actually looking into the sky thinking a low flying plane was overhead.
Decided to have dinner in York, and found a 'Wetherspoons' 'Postern Gate' where you can ride the bike up the side of the pub.. No cars and free to park on the bike, so you can sit outside at the side of the river, and keep an eye on the bike at the same time while you eat..Very enjoyable afternoon. Wetherspoons food ok, but like most of these type of places these days, all micro wave stuff.

Next time try Oscars mate, not far from the postern gate. Awesome food, homemade and cheap.
Suprised you didn't get a knacking taking the bike down the pedestrian street. I got a ticket doing it on my RS125 many moons ago.
Hi,
just found the RSVzone today.
Noticed that you are in falkirk and wondered where you take your rsv for servicing etc.
Had mine about 6mths and bought it from a dealer in Perth, but he did,nt install confidence in me for taking it back for servicing etc.
I know that jim allen in falkirk is an Aprilia dealer but I have had no dealings with them or know much about them

Just replied to your PM mate.
The dealer you mentioned in Perth was where I bought my Mille from and to be honest, I agree, he didnt really impress me, even though I got a very good deal on the bike.
Couple of mates use Skinners up that way and they seem to think they are pretty good, but as I outlined in my message to you, I use JK Motorcycles in Stirling for the valve checks and do all other servicing myself.:thumbup
Oh....and welcome to the forums!!! Get some pics of your bike up !!!:biggrin

Can you park bke there? Pedestrian zone open to vehicles on business after 4.00pm, and was on business, so no probs.
If you can ride your bike in the pedestrian zones after 4.00pm then you can park outside Oscars. I have seen cars outside so I know you can.
Ask anyone in York about Oscars and they will know it. Its Pub food, but traditional food and massive portions.
Failing that, over the road from the Postern Gate, on the other side of the one way system is a pub called the Mason's arms. Another jem in York, and the food there is awesome. You can leave your bike on the front outside, and sit outside to eat. Portions at the Mason's are Fcuking massive and reasonabley priced too.
I live in York and recommend these 2 place 100%.
All the best,
Dan
