Proud New Dad

[WRT]

Right - a few of you know I have been looking round for a while to find myself a new ride to replace my dearly departed TLR. Well, after much hunting, and joyous test riding, have just today gone and picked up my new baby. She aint named yet, but may I present to you all my 2004 Aprilia RSV-R . . .

Just a quick thanks as well to all that have offered advice and input, and in particular Mike at Mt Eden Motorcycles - big ups to this man for putting up with my purchasing jitters, and to Greg at AMPS, and Karl at Holeshot for allowing me test rides on their bikes, and also cheers Sniper for your help when I was looking at a bike in Christchurch.

Ok, now the oscar acceptance speach is out the way, on to the pics . . . more to follow once I have a decent opportunity to shoot some proper ones.

That's gorgeous, but I nearly didn't open the thread as I thought "oh no, photos of someone's ugly bald baby!" That's MY kind of baby!

And I can't believe those people in the background have their BACKS to your baby - philistines!

[Pwalo]

Well done. I'm insanely jealous.

Hehe, yup, thats why its in the GBR forum

Dunno what was up with those people, there were plenty of kids around that knew bike porn when they see it tho. Plus, heading down the southern I had some dude in a WRX pull up next to me to get a good look, was just about hanging out the window to have a perve before he gave me a thumbs up and a huge grin.
