Nice plate mate! and of course, nice shiney clean bike ... at least it looked it at 85 :eek:

Okay, my tale's of trouble with the RSV are quite well known (I'm not exactly a shrinking violet), and yes they are expensive in terms of time, money & frustration. I bought my APE after owning an R1 for 3 years , in those 3 years I spent quite a bit of money on it but never on a mechanical or...
