   Went to the NEC yesterday and had my usual great day, spent too much, found lots of nice things I couldn't afford, ogled the girls, thoroughly enjoyed myself, but was very disappointed by the lack of Aprilia presence (as a club could we appeal to the factory's better nature and get them to put in an appearance, show off some stuff and give us some future hints ?) Really liked the new 675, but don't think I'd buy one (a bit small although it had a 'big bike' feel). My bro in law slobbered over the new ZZR1400, but I hated it - so big and wide and ugly. In fact I didn't really see much in the 'lithe, narrow sports bike' category that I would like to tip my hat towards when the RSVR reaches the end of the line. Don't like much of the Jap stuff, despite the fact that its undeniably awesome, too much emphasis on pushing the revs needlessly higher and higher. Not into the 'just how ugly can we make it in the interests of being different' brigade, a la BMW. I hope Aprilia have some exciting stuff to introduce in the near future, or I'm going to struggle to find something I want to buy ! Could always try a D****i !!!
     Of the current crop what would YOU most like and why ?

What we do in life echoes in eternity.....
