Question: Re: Aprili RS 125 Chain and Sproket.
I am currently contacting all the potential sources I have for a good deal on a brand new Chain and Sproket set for my RS 125. Since its winter and I am going out of country for my holidays, I thought I might give my babe a good tuneup before I go. Does anyone have any good sites they use to shop around for motorcycle parts?

Muscle car sites I know, but this one: http://www.af1racing.com/store/Scrip...dCategory=1508 seemed to have some Aprilia parts. *shrugs* I'll check some of the sites I hang around at.

Checking em out as we speak . I doubt I'll find a better deal then one my trusty mechanic offers me but it will be such a treat to stump him out this time around .

Oh yea, it's always nice to stump them once in a while. I found an excellent Cobra R hood for my Mustang that was cheaper than the one that the insurance company found but by the time I got ahold of them, they already bought a stock hood *shrugs* I rarely buy parts from a mechanic, but there are more available online for muscle cars than certain motorcycles. What year is yours?

I am still green with envy that you got a hold of an amazing Cobra... . Don't get me wrong, I love how the new Mustang looks but I kinda have a thing for the Neo Classic model. Its a 2006 model . I am sure I can find a good deal if I snoop around a bit more.

The car is a GT, not a Cobra But I like the Cobra R style hoods for the 99-04 models. Still, Electric green with tinted windows is a rare combo. The 2005-2009 models I'm not hot on but the new Shelby 500 with the Supersnake package...*drools* The fast backs were a good looking model as well. Didn't like the foxbodies. Too angular.
As for motorcycles I've always fancied the look and sound of a Harley but can't afford one. Still nice to look at though. I have to admit that I haven't heard of Apirilia. How are they? |

Seems like you and I have a hankering for the Shelby models . There is just something about the Shelby tuned Mustangs that screems "Power!" Right down to the white and blue paint scheme. I used to think that only the Ford GT 40 and the Dodge Viper models looked good with that particular scheme but Shelby proved me wrong.
Well since you like the look and sound of a Harley then I guess you like cruisers rather then speed bikes. I say go for a touring type of bike rather then a Speed Bike. Most of Aprilia's lineup focuses around speed bikes (including my RS 125) but the have bikes in the touring category as well like the Shiver 750. I am actually planning on selling my RS 125 somewhere down the road and get a RST 1000 instead. |

Ahh. Crotch rocket. Still, nice styling. And that's a good amount of HP Yea, I've always been more for classic muscle than speed or tuners. As is the case, I can't stand seeing a tuned out Civic. Fast, for sure, but nothing is better than the nice deep, loud rumble of a muscle car. The other car that I was impressed with is the new model Camaro. Even at stock the V8 version has more HP than the GT's but the body design is very sleak

Lol! The only thing worse then a civic driver is a driver that drives a tuned up civic. A friend of mine e-mailed this to me:
