The Queen bought me this for my birthday back in August and I for some reason didn't get it posted. It's an Aprilia RSV4 Factory and should make for some very interesting track days with my Ducati 1198S which I've included some pictures of to let you see it's transformation.

Wow! That is some serious eye-candy. I must admit this is the first time I've seen "frame stands" before, but they make sense.

Where do you go for Track Days? I imagine finding suitable twisty roads without major deposits of bovine by-products around your area might be difficult.

I'm happy to see you dress properly for the ride.

Ride your own ride and have fun.

Nice !!

I'm a big fan of the road racing bikes & Harleys..

Wow. Good looking 2 wheelers there. Planning on making a trip to Winfield, KS sometime within the year or coming year. Might swing by and introduce myself.

Yeah there isn't any fun roads around here but I do live close enough to Colorado, Oklahoma and Missouri so all isn't lost. When I set the sag and installed the superbike valving in the front forks I had to go out at 3 AM and do a 130 mile round trip just to hit some on and off ramps with curves suitable enough to test settings. LOL.

I went up to the track in Heartland Park Topeka last year with the Duc and found out she had a wicked over steer due to a 36mm offset on the front end. I'm going to install an adjustable triple and start with a 30mm offset which should help the turning and is what the Aprilia came with stock.



There's also a track in Hasting Nebraska that caters to Europeon Bikes I'm going to hit this Summer but time is still limited working 6 to 7 days a week

.

The dream/Plan is that I'll be leaving the working world and just be managing my rentals here in the next 3 to 5 years (closer to 3 with the amount of houses on the market) and the bikes and I will be hitting tracks all over the USA either for track days or riding schools until they either tell me I'm too old to ride on the track or the DMV won't let me drive.

I have to admit that I'm still in awe of these bikes compared to my old Ducati 900 Darmah track bike. My old Duc you man handled to make it do what you wanted but these bikes just do what you think and go where you look and with todays tire technology the lean angles and small tire patch is magic.
Matt let me know and I'll see about making some free time for a meet and greet.

Well, you should put The "Tail of the Dragon" on your bucket list:

Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap, motorcycle and sport car two lane tourism serving Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap, Cherohala Skyway, Moonshiner28, Devils Triangle, and Six Gap North Georgia.

I hustled my ST1100 around there, saddle bags and all, and even had several times I dragged my footpegs. Some serious compression turns there. Its plenty of fun even at the 40-45 mph I could muster. I'd suggest a mid-week visit if at all possible as the road gets filled with all kinds of sporting groups on the weekends.
