This bike is here for one reason, to ride!! So come on out and ride it if you so desire, extended rides are ok with prior scheduling with Lonnie.
Woohoo, free motorcycle rides, I love this Piaggio company

For all of our scooter/motorcycle friends in So Cal we have the first 2011 Aprilia Shiver corporate bike in from 8/27 for about 2 weeks.

I'm going to go ahead start you off with some positive karma on this one before the boo-birds swoop in.
Looks like a sweet bike. |

That's a great offer, David. Maybe, if time allows, I'll stop by tomorrow. Any word on the 500?

Reference to the "500" is the effort to port a MASTER engine into a Vespa large-body. Too many technical and practical obsticals to overcome, so it is turning out to not be financial feesable. R & D costs a lot, huh?

Test ride?
Hey David!
I'm going to try to come up this Wednesday to test ride the Shiver! Sound good? I'll call first to confirm. Sounds fun! ~Robyn |

I'd love to take it out for a spin, but:
1.) I dropped my sparkplug in the airbox again. 2.) My shifting skills are a bit rusty, as I haven't operated a motorcycle since the 90s. 3.) Busy week. Maybe Friday? |
