Lots to learn but kept her laughing rather the stressed and anxious. Nothing like a deserted WW2 airfield for plenty of space to learn. Google Davidstow Airfield if you are interested. Hopefully I will get her sound on basic car control before she starts formal lessons. Good to be in her company for a couple of hours.

Pedro Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Had a great day on the bike today. A little warm in the afternoon but that just meant I didn't see any other bikes on the road, which I'm quite happy with. Didn't stop many times, but did take some pictures when I did. Everything is hot now, just had a shower and my washing gel was hotter than the water Now cooling and relaxing, then a walk in 20 minutes to go have a proper piece of grilled meat for dinner, probably too much to drink and then maybe I'll post a ride report for today. If I don't then it's because I really had too much to drink. More coming tomorrow. I love my bike. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aprilia makes nice bikes, some with nice engines, but parts always seem to be a problem when the model goes out of production. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few Italian online shops with nice prices on brembro things, but I guess it might be a nightmare to post it to the UK. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a repair kit on wemoto but it has a push rod with it so will need a different lever. And they do supply a non gen lever, not sure it'll fit their repair kit though. 11.9mm bore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
