I like bikes me, they get you from A to B, when you get one, you're in a special club, non bikers are jealous 'cos we're cool, (yes, even you're jealous Jeremy Clarkson), yes bikes are good. However, some bikes are great!! Great thumping twins that grunt, that scare livestock in far off counties, that threaten to pull the arms from your sockets, that even fellow bikers are envious of. These bikes have the WOW factor. I had one, I loved it! It was an Aprilia RSV 1000R. As with anything you love, you forgive it's little foibles and weaknesses, the poor mirrors, discomfort over long distances, the bleeding, Oh God, the bleeding clutches, the bleeding back break. See the RSVR.Net forum if you wish to witness tragedy and frustration first hand.
But now I have a new love, it has mirrors that work, comfort, performance, a happy cheerful forum, it has jehadjoe, it comes in three tempting flavours, it has the WOW factor in spades, and as of today, I have one!!

Yours 'In Rock'
