Monster 1100 in Black! :D

I'm very happy! Going to slap a touring seat on it though as I truly understand what everyone calls "Monster Balls" now.

Plus it was the first sunny day in Jersey in a while!

That is a very long story, but to make it short there are two reasons.

#1. I wanted a bike with a lower seat height so I can have passengers easier.

#2. Aprilia does not treat it's customers with respect. Especially considering there are cheaper Japanese bikes, or similarly priced Ducati's. They give you enough apologies to fill up a basement, but no compensation in any form.

My bike as of now is in great shape, all recalls have been done, all service work is up to date, etc. But after the way I've been treated it's just a matter of principle for me. I refuse to own a bike from a company that has disrespected me in such a manner.
