Got a text from my buddy with his 09 Aprilia rxv 550... He wanted a show down...
Ok, I'm up for that
He showed up a few minutes later.
So I go out to the garage and put on my right boot so I can start my bike.
It's been a few weeks so of course it took a few kicks to fire it up.
My buddy had the nerve to laugh at me while touching his e-start button
We took a nice warm up ride down to the river.
Spun around at the boat launch, cleared the corner, then cracked through the gears... Except 5th as there wasn't enough room...
Looked back as I was braking hard for the corner and I saw a faded little light way back there
Man I love my bike...
After swinging by another buddy's house we traded bikes.
The RXV is a good bike with all the niceties.
Smooth power delivery and decent handling considering it has the stock nobbies on it.
It's everything I would expect from such a bike.
Which is why I ride something a little more unconventional
