Well, it would seem that things are going to move faster than expected.......

Mrs V put a cheeky bid on an ebay auction this morning and has won, and then completely forgot to tell me about it! :roll:
So it appears that I am now the owner of a 2006 Aprilia Atlantic Sprint 500. I now just have to work out how to get it down from Gateshead.

Well done! Enjoy the ride as I believe that they are really comfortable. There is one that occasionally passes me on the M25, that seems to go well two up. So, no excuses for not taking Mrs V out as a pillion. From memory I think Wozza had one a few years ago so he may be able to give you a few pointers about the machine.
