Well sorry to say it's another year of not owning an aprilia for me......I know I'm ashamed of myself. All the same best wishes to the members here & may you have a good year of whatever you choose to do in 2925.
This year has been one of change here having retired in April, it still seems a bit odd on a Monday morning not going to actual work but doing loads to the house. MrsR ventured abroad on her Striple for the first time & I'm trying to get her to do maybe picos next if funds permit! Likely the panigale will go this year if prices are stable, but every time I ride it it gets deeper under my skin! Ha ha! Maybe I should replace it with another gen 2 RSV, or maybe another RC8r, or an R1, or an S1000r, or a v4 street fighter. This year will also see a return series on the trials bike......been saying that for the last few years but I'm out of excuses & the gasser has had a fettle ready. So, all the best forum members & keep on keeping on, you are a long time dead!

Echo above
Hope you all had a great Christmas and I’ll wish you all a happy new year now 👍 Santa brought me some new alpine star boots and gloves ! No budget for a new bike unfortunately so the falco will have to last at least another year. been out of work for 2 months after being made redundant , hoping I get something in the new year 70 job applications and only 3 interviews so far 😬

Sorry lads. missed this.Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year too. Especially to you Mark in your search for a new job. It seems like a tough time for tech as I know a few who have been let go in that sector over the last six months or so. Having said that one of my mates just went from unemployed to Head of Networking Worldwide (Excl Asia) for Nissan. Maybe not the most stable sector either at the moment but shows there are opportunities out there, so stay positive.  |

Happy new year, hope you all had a good Christmas and good luck on the Job Front Mark, the tech sector is certainly challenging at the moment, speaking from experience, hopefully something will turn up.

Happy new year all.
Good luck job wise Mark. You need some pennies for the nice cheap RSV I have with your name on it.

Happy New Year guys, hope you had a great time.
I caught flu on Xmas day, knocked me for 6 and had 5 days in bed. Only just getting over it now. Not had so much as a sniffle for years so took me by surprise.  Well done on the new job Mark  |

Me too. Happy new year - to you & everyone else, too. You have all been, informative, knowledgeable and - most of all, kept us on the road! I am now regretting not owning an RSV a long time ago - honestly - I (in my 60’s), have learned more from you than I did in 12 years on the Kwacker site.
