My first entry to the forums

[hottrout]

Firstly, hello. Although I have been riding RSV's since 2003 I had never joined the forums. So a big hello to everyone.

These are some pictures of my 03 RSVR, over the years it has provided me with endless fun and I am still at a loss as to what I would replace it with. The comming v4 Aprilia might tempt me :thumbup

Having just had a set of Bridgstone 016, New Renthal Sprocket and DID chain as well as a set of Pazzo Levers (soon), 2008 should be equally as fun as other years.


Here are some pics

Welcome to the site hottrout your bike looks mint where do you come from..........

[hottrout]

I am from Northern Ireland, thanks for asking.

[sharky]

OGK helmet is that what you wear I've got 2 FF4's and an old aeroblade I think there fantastic helmets

[hottrout]

I love the FF3, its a bit noisy but still looks like the dogs and the tear offs are great for getting round our local 'tinted visor' laws.

[sharky]

yes have to agree with you there when i was at the bike show last year i was looking for a clear visor which normally cost around the £40 mark and ended buying a complete FF4 helmet for £50 fantastic bargin

[sharky]

these are my 2 OGK's FF4 and a FF4 venom

[LEGS]

Welcome Hot Trout, very nice 2003 R you have there :thumbup

Where did the graphics come from?

[millekid]

sweeeeeeeeeeet mille :thumbup

[hottrout]

The graphics are all my own work. When I started the project in 2003 almost none of the logos required for recreating the 03 GP bike were available. So I recreated them all in Adobe Illustrator. After a months work on Adobe I sent the files to my friend who owns a sign making company and he and I set about printing off all of the logos on his computers. It took him and I three full Saturdays of printing and transfering to complete the bike.

The entire bike was done in vinal wrap.

Was good fun to do but was very gla when it was over.

[Posh Johnny]

Nice looking bike, you could do with some stickers though

Thats a stunning bike mate, just out of interest tho is it an original Colin Edwards rep or a spray job, the reason im askin is the originals normally come with twin cans and the infill panels are not normally sprayed :thumbup

Badger,

That is of course me. I didnt at first understand what you ment :dowhat until I read the original post. When I said that I had not joined the forums, I was talking about RSVZONE specifically.

Are you the same badger from the old Aprilia forums like this one (http://p098.ezboard.com/brsvrnet). If so then a big hello, its been a while.
