who cares ... oh. ok ... the midlands. Shropshire
Long story cut short ...

My bike is still at Griffs ... final stages of dry-dock after my spill.

He called to say there was a problem with the rear shock which, he felt, may have contributed to bikes errant handling and crash (I still think crash was mainly due to me being **** at rh sweepers)

Suggests new shock ... or hunt e-bay ... but good ones are hard to find.

During this depressing telephone conversation a Scottish voice in his shop chips in "I've got one for sale"

Bugger me! What are the chances of that happening?

Thanks to an incredible bit of timing and a really nice bloke called Snaggle ... I have a mint shock.

Soooo....

HUGE thanks to Griff and thanks also to Snaggle and Tuonozone for getting me out of the **** again.

To anybody within 500 miles of Aprilia Performance ... Griff is the very chap you need!

If he says "come over here in the corner and look at my helmet" ... he means his air-brushed Arai

Although to be fair, he did flash his cock too :huh2
 
Nice one Newsome (apart from the cock flashing .. )

Griff is indeed Da Man , and the forums (or more to the point, the people who frequent them) are an invaluable source of help and advice.

How did Griff think your shock could have caused your stack?
 
Your welcome Pete .. Hope you get the bike on the road soon.. think mine may take a little longer !! (anyone got a spare ecu !! )
 
Was at Griffs today . Flashed to latest software and still nowt .. common issue on the first batch of 05/06 bikes (yes like the one in yours Pete lol ) so need a replacment . Aprilia are out at £1800+vat so its a hunt for a secondhand one .. Trouble is the rsvr one dont fit so has to be a gen 2 Tuono one :(
 
No one will really know how it happened mate. As long as youre ok is all that matters. Bikes are replaceable. U back on the drink pete
 
Yes mate. Quack put me on meds, told me to start drinking again and come back for another set of tests in September.
