Yeah, I am a moron. But I am not on the run like someone mentioned here. Stop all the smoke and mirrors. Those in the know, know the real reasons. Don't drop the soap."

You drive, no beginners, it's the real deal, flat out from the word go

Hey Andrew, we're planning on going in September. What is his "psudo race car?" They're are a bunch of locals at The Ring that have hopped up Golfs and the like, they rip around at an impressive pace considering the HP level.

Here it is at Donnigton in the UK in the rain....good fun for sure I think he completed the ring in 8 minutes 50 seconds which is quite fast for a stockish CRX

I have owned 2 Ducati's and have ridden a bunch more. I would say a Duc is not quite an Aprilia . Unless, it's the 999r. That thing's a crazy beast. The most incredible bike I have EVER ridden.

I spend 70% of my time on 2 wheels. Which is why I bought a nice BMW boxer cup bike . That new Aprilia SVX450 is calling my name, bad.

Just got back. 20 hours of travel time in one day really sucks. Italy and France were great. Got some good videos of us drifting on beautiful mountain roads that run above the city of Monte Carlo. Stay tuned...

Oh my, we will have to agree to disagree on that one as my experiences are almost exactly opposite of yours. I don't like the front end feel of Aprilias in general or 999 ducs (haven't ridden a 999r though). I am a front end feel freak. My ultimate is the 998r (916 frame and the new Testastreda engine). That SVX 450 is damn cool but now the Hypermotard is calling my name Oh yea,...and the Desmosedechi street bike
