Hi, thought I'd reply to myself in case anyone might be curious about my unusual bike. My Aprilia Moto 6.5 went into my mothers garage under a sheet in 2004, I meant to fix it that winter but one thing after another etc.
With the help of a good friend - in exchange for a loan of the bike to go to the Manx GP - it is now up and running. Bits sourced from Wemoto, a German ebayer, another bit from a chap in Italy and a few things available from the dealer. Forks rebuilt, new second hand shock installed, most rubber pipes and connectors replaced, choke cable and horrible plastic bits at the carb end renewed a good clean up and now the bike is back on the road.
First ride for the first few miles and I was asking myself what I had ever seen in this daft bike. A few miles later and I was boping along with a big silly grin on my face
It's a bit of a crazy bike but I like it. Maybe late in the year or next year I might roll up at a meet. Do you guys have meets at all or just this forum? forgive my ignorance on that bit.
happy thumping
