im near swindon and have a rs250 that im currnetly trying to get back on the road. i bought it 3 months ago and decided to take the tank off to give it a good check over and found alot of filler holding the tank together which then started leakin. so now with anew tank im having it painted to match the bike but decided to do it proper and get the whole bike done. has genuine aprilia decals ordered, HEL braided lines, some pro-bolt stuff, polished heel plates and foot levers and fairing bolts. all this waiting to go on whilst i wait to get the panels back from paint.

i give it two weeks til im back out again! :)

here are some pics of it so far-

Lets just say its dominated by larger 4 strokes. Each to their own is what I say. As long as you have a love of bikes I dont think it matters what you have (or havent) got!

Was there about 3 months ago & they were just finalising the paperwork. I don't use prillia dealers tho - got a massive network of prilla buddies from rsvr.net & Bikers-oracle, so we tend to sort each other out and now do all my own services cos at least I know it has been done.

I had an RGV250 a while ago and changed the power valves myself so I got to know 2 strokes quite well - light the blue touch paper and stand well back......................
