I could be up for that if I can roll out of bed in time,not been up there for months. In fact I've hardly been out at all this year,probably done more miles on track than the roads and it's getting pretty close to the end of the season now so I should make the effort I suppose. Pencil me in a definite maybe,I'll see if Russ fancies a rideout as well. ------------- www.apworkshops.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk Looking forward to the next track day |

If Russ can get a pass out and he doesn't go wind surfing or whatever we could have the MV along again for company. I'll get there by the same run we did from Abergele last time via the B roads and the Brennig run,so that should blow the cobwebs away ready for Valley next w/end. Bring your detailing kit John,my bike could do with some TLC ------------- www.apworkshops.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk Looking forward to the next track day |

Ah,how about from your end then John? Mind you,I won't know until just before I leave whether Russ is coming either,he was round this afternoon in the car but thinking about getting his wet suit out tomorrow if the rain held off and the wind was favourable.
I believe you, that's very inspirational..........................................sad,but inspirational Although I think it needs a bit more than T cut & polish tbh. ------------- www.apworkshops.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk Looking forward to the next track day |

That's a fair trek Nige,my daughter was a student at the Art School there for a few years,I used to think that road was best travelled on two wheels though given the traffic sometimes. As long as it's not p*ssing down I'll go,it's a really good run for me as I can take in some of the best roads available if I go the scenic route via Brennig and the clocaenog forest then Ruthin and the Nant Y Garth pass. ------------- www.apworkshops.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk Looking forward to the next track day |

Pity you couldn't make it Daz,it would be the old team from years back,what happened to all the guys that came on the first N Wales run? What's L Les doing these days? Where are all the Tuono & Falco pilots who came along on that run? Of course we still have the rowdy element prone to doing the odd burnouts on petrol station forecourts ------------- www.apworkshops.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk Looking forward to the next track day |

Hope everyone got back safe and Adam, hopefully you got home in time to persuade your Mrs to let you hang onto your balls a bit longer. Just going out to test the bike,may go for a short ride Yeah right,via N Wales for the better part of the day. Classic  Pity it was only the hard core Aprilia ( or rather the A Team) that came out after so many people saying they were up for it earlier Also nice to meet Nige our resident chopper driver who had a fair trek up from Hereford,hope you had an enjoyable days ride Mate,sorry about poisoning everybody with petrol fumes  Hope the headaches passed quickly.I got back and decided to clean the K&N,when I saw how dirty & oily it was I realised I really should have done it a lot sooner,sorryyyyy. Hopefully the bike will run a bit better now for Valley next w/end. Nice to have had your company Gents,till next year now I suppose  ------------- www.apworkshops.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk Looking forward to the next track day |

A founder member of the A team mate but it wasn't you I was thinking of in this instance,loads of people said they'd be up for a rideout when it was aired a while back.I will concede it all happened almost on the spur of the moment though and most people probably can't just saddle up and ride. I tend to think my situation is average but I can pretty much please myself when I ride and for how long and I live very local to the racetrack (sorry playground) as well. ------------- www.apworkshops.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk Looking forward to the next track day |

Just spotted this cheeky little meet, glad it was a good un dudes. Would have struggled to make it with work and my bike needs a bit of attention from The AP gang, not at her best.
