    1st ride (Pics)

    First chance I've had to get out since I picked up the T last weekend. Early morning ride out on Mulholland Hwy. It's gonna take me a few rides to get used to the bike especially on the tight twisties, and learning how far I can lean it over, but can already tell the T is gonna be a lot of fun.

    1st to neutral

    I purchased a 2003 aprilia rsv mille about a month ago. The ride is great, however the gentleman before me didn't take great care of it. I will be changing all the fluids soon which could fix my issue but I doubt it. When I switch from neutral to first it seems as if the clutch is not in. From...

    1st GEAR STALL

    Hi guys. This is my second season with my 2001 mille. Is it normal that when started from cold she wont engage into first gear without stalling. Obviously i let her warm up a bit but unless she is warm (about 65 cent) she stalls. The clutch seems fine when riding so any ideas chaps. Cheers
