    It's been a steep learning curve.
    Went from a street legal Husky TE510 trail bike to the Aprilia. Owned it from new. Done 16,000k and still learning.
    Hate to admit what I had before the Clubby. But my twin bro has owned V8's before me. He owns a 56 FJ Holden and a VZ Maloo.
    I went from a 2000 Honda Accord to the stock VX 02 255KW Clubby. haha But I love it. Owned the Clubby for over 8 years now.

    Just a 06 Aprilia Tuono RSV V-Twin 1000. It's been chipped and had a Akrapovic pipe thrown on. That's my only other toy. Looking forward to getting on that once I get my license back too. 2 weeks tomorrow to go.

    It's been at the compliance shop this week. Hope to have it road registered next week. Just in time for when I get my license back. :)

    Goes ok. Wouldn't mind giving it a hoon round the local track where you could open it right up. My mates say the "chicken strips" on my back tire are still to thick. Gotta learn to lean it harder in the corners. Haha

    Just heard from the guys doing the rebuild that it's passed Compliance this avo! Stoked as!!
    I'll be getting her road registered as a Clubby tomorrow. After then it'll be street legal.
    I'll be installing the cutoffs back on tonight though. :p

    So the build started at start of June and finished at the end of November. So it's taken around 6 months which I reckons been pretty good if I may say so myself. :)

    Cheers!
    Some people that haven't read this thread and read the following might not understand but.
    If I could trade my rebuilt VX Clubby for my staffy dog that I killed when I wrote the last VX off? I'd do it in a heart beat. Still miss you girl.

    I know you would,at least you can take comfort from the fact that she taught you a valuable lesson,something you will always remember her by.

    Had a friend take my Clubby for a hoon down a deserted road last night. he loved the badlandzhpe.com cutoffs. Said he felt like he was driving a NAS car. lol

    Fair enough. The road was closed but I respect where you're coming from. I've removed the video from being public.
