I picked up an orange, 2008 Aprilia Shiver this past Saturday up near Gatlinburg. It was a fantastic deal I scored on eBay.
I'm still rehabbing from knee surgery and I'm using a cane to walk. I managed to get on the bike for a short test ride. It wasn't sure I was going to be able to get off of it but I somehow managed to sort of slither off of it.
That mile or so ride was great.
My Moto Guzzi seems very relaxed and mellos me out even when I'm making great time but this thing made me feel a bit wired, it was urging me to twist the throttle. Or maybe it was just my first time back on a bike since I blew up my knee.
I'm hoping to be able to ride in a couple of months. I'm really looking forward to that and meeting up with some of you guys.
