Default I found my Aprilia Mille RSV on Craigslist!

A good friend of mine had been bugging me to get a motorcycle to ride with him. He bought an Honda Erion Racing Edition CBR929. Now that's a sweet bike. I was shocked as I didn't think he rode. He knew I used to ride sportbikes all the time so he kept at it. I told him the only bike I want is an Aprilia and they are too much money for me right now. Well he scanned the internet for a few weeks and found a killer deal on a Mille RSV in the Bay Area. I couldn't resist so I made a cash offer to the guy and he took it. Seems that Aprilias really have dropped in value over the years! People have a hard time selling the 2000 - 2003 models for much more than $6,000. I got mine for a couple grand less and it was in great shape. Well great shape but just needed all sorts of cleaning and adjusting to bring her back in good form.

This is the hell I had to endure in order to go pick up my new bike. That's right, the Bay Bridge, morning rush hour!


Here is the shot of it in the back of my truck on the way home!





And here is a picture of it all nice and warm in the garage.
