Re: RZV 500 Road Atlanta with Aprillia Track Days

This is going to be a bit long and has nothing to do with our bikes. You all are the first to find out about my situation.

RZV 500 Road Atlanta with Aprillia Track Days

Good to get the 500 back out. Brought it to South Carolina for track days. Track day was put on by Aprillia. Almost did not make it due to my truck taking a dump in the driveway with trailer ready to go. Ended up renting a truck from Lowes and after getting an adapter for the 2 1/2 inch reciever off...

Re: Multitude of parts for sale

What has happened to this site? We are all getting older and have health issues. Please do not take me wrong, I have my own issues. A lot of people have hoarded parts and now are finding they are not as valuable as thought. I love my bike and miss my first one a lot. If you have parts you can not ta...

Re: 1985 RZ500 For Sale - SOLD

Re: Rd500 zeeltronic experts

The cable makes it way easier and you can see it all on your laptop. You can also check it while running. A little confusing to get it to connect. Then you can save two options on timing and PV

My First AHRMA Win At Blackhawk Farms Raceway

Was a fun weekend on a rather sketchy track. Took a 3rd on Saturday with a mistake and a 125 got by me. I adjusted the brake lever to far in and caught a finger between the throttle and brake lever. Blew the corner or would of been a 2nd. Sunday race one of my buddies was coming for me. I had 3 seco...
