What's That Grey One ?

That looks like robbo87's old aprilia falco I think it was or futura. Or something like that.

Pretty much a sports tourer aprilia mille.

In fact, if you go back to that carpark it's still there.

The grey one looking down and facing towards us is Robbo87. Not sure about the grey one with his back to us.

Oh, you mean the bike, yep that was the Aprilia Falco, famed for it's gremlins, that had the misfortune to be in the care of Robbo87.

Please note that while others go for matching leathers, helmets, boots and gloves to go with their bike, I have opted for the much cooler, colour co-ordinated hair and bike look ; which you too can achieve - just survive until you're . . . . . ahem . . . . my age . . . and buy a silver bike.

And for the record, all you bike spotters, twern't no Falco, twas a 2001 Aprilia RST 1000 Futura, and on the odd day it behaved itself was a better riding experience than any ST I've had before or since. Aprilia missed a trick when they didn't develop and refine it further. Ruffian's correct, it was the ST version of the Aprilia Mille.

Larry, remind us where that pic' was took, and when.

Gottit now , and remember it well. A great canal-side pub snack was had as I remember.

Twas a good day. Start + 2 picks-up.

Pic is E. Cranmore steam railway station.

Great pub but not much parking and oft very busy. I did some on-line research (that's reSEARCH not REEEEEEsearch) and rode solo to some venues, finding a brilliant new place not far from that pub. Went down exremely well with my next ride down thereabouts.

So there is life there sometimes I have passed there many times in the truck on the way to Frome and seen nothing I wondered if it was still running
