Fantastic mate ! Still a stroker fan but not ridden one for years. Fond memory's of my Kettle and H2 back in the day. I did the festival of 1000 bikes last year on the rsv, in my last session of the day there where 15/20 RG500's (road and race bikes) on track... It was as close as I'll ever get to being on track with Bazza and Co. ------------- 2003 RSV Streetfighter/Tuono thingy, and 2003 Multistrada. |

Very very nice. I race a TZR250 2MA and I always describe that as riding a hand grenade....it's not if it will blow up....it's when it will blow up :) I went to the Classic TT this year to support a mate who raced a Spondon framed YPVS 350. The YZR500 and TZ's were on fine form :) 2T's are my first love since my AP50 as a teenager. -------------

Two awesome bikes there mate. Still rue the day I swapped my TDR250 for an old slabbie. That bike was a bunch of fun. Alas, I never really trusted it not to blow up - comes from spending every weekend rebuilding numerous aircooled RD250/350s with popped pistons when I were a nipper. Would love one now. ------------- www.apriliaperformance.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk |

It's a GT500 engine in a GSX frame with NC29 running gear. Still doing a lot of cutting & welding at the moment.

My line manager at work, builds 2 stroke projects too. His last one, a Yamaha engine in an Aprilia RS frame, was featured in Practical Sportsbike a few months ago. He does hiwn nickel plating and powder coating, as well as painting them himself. He also does all his own fabrication. ------------- www.apriliaperformance.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk |

Cheers Mark Been doing lots of welding so the frames finished inc modifying the down tubes around the exhausts & making new mounts for the rear sets. Doing the under tray at the moment which will also hold the battery. http://s633.photobucket.com/user/nikfubar/media/Project%20WTF/0016_zpsf30c13ab.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s633.photobucket.com/user/nikfubar/media/Project%20WTF/0015_zpscd15f463.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- http://s633.photobucket.com/user/nikfubar/media/RSVR/002%204_zpsnfrfkwys.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"> Oops |

Hi Mike My blue hybrid was in PB a couple of years ago, seems a lot of 2 stroke riders have Aprilia's as well. This one is booked in with Kenny (TSA) in the middle of Feb to have the exhausts fabricated More porn for nickyboy to wank over Seat didn't fit that well before I cut the plastic seat pan & re-upholstered it  http://s633.photobucket.com/user/nikfubar/media/Project%20WTF/0042_zpse2fec252.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">
