Na just know the guy, He is totally genuine, Would have done everything he could to help! He is also a mechanic! (not aprilia) but has at least 30yrs exp with cars and bikes. He has helped me with my RSV and Daytona. Just seems sad that this forum has now lost a fantastic resource and a nice guy due to caustic comments that were unfounded, Now Im sure I'll be accused of being biased... Not that concerned, as I'm sure I already Know the possible culpret is doubtful to ever offer anything constructive... also sad really.:dunno
