^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You must be the new Andy Wegg.

 

a) wanted a scooter
b) too fast

 

It's a "lady's" bike. [1]

[1] Although in this month's bike, it was one of the top four bikes for
highsides. Along with the first generation R1.

hahahah.

I've no idea why he's selling it, though I suspect he uses his
supermoto a lot more in town these days.

 

all of the above except (b), given that he's got a 400cc supermoto...

 

There's only one Andy Wegg.

And, up yours Superboy!

 

Naturally, since it's the best bike in the world, and anyone reading this
should automatically want to buy it - it's completely brilliant, and I'm
selling it because I'm an idiot.

However - the real reason is that I don't use it as much now that I've got
the supermoto - and it's a real pain in the arse in town or through traffic.
It really need to retire to the country somewhere.

On the plus side, loads of grunt, amazing brakes, and surprisingly comfy
over distances. You should try one ...

 

Yes - and I'm not 100% comfortable about having an italian bike that's out
of warranty. You just never know ...

 

not really, but "enough"

h) offensively loud
i) a complete hoot
j) faster than porl through traffic
k) other bikers admire it at the lights, and know that I Rock

 

Excellent sales technique there, shamurai.

 

There's bound to be someone on here with an irrational admiration for
Italian engineering though ...

pool when it was in being repaired.

Snot true that they fit them with 5 reverse gears anymore, they have
fixed it. See the enemy, touch the brakes, the back overtakes and you
are facing the other way, down two hit the gas in *forward* and away you
go. You have to admire the out of the box thinking on that one.

 

That's an Aprilia thing.

Ask Eddie.

 

Almost appropriately for today: "Testiculos habet, et bene pendentes",
thankyouverymuch.
