Hyperbole…I’ve been known to write a bit of it from time to time. So how do I convince regular readers that the following article is not just hype? Do I add more powerful adjectives? What to do. I thought I’d just try and engender some trust. See here’s the deal. I have no affiliation with Aprilia, none at all. Aprilia don’t even advertise with us  so the following words are exactly what I want to convey.

The Mana is a ground breaking bike. It is nothing short of revolutionary and it stuns me that it is not receiving more press from the motorcycle world. I know why though…in general the motorcycle press world is filled with dimwits.

Now don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of great writers and fantastic people…however there are also a lot of old time, head in the sand nano-brained pie heads. For future reference a person with a head made from a pie is probably not the sharpest tool in the shed.

 

Look, I don’t claim to be any kind of rocket scientist; far from it. However as I run a scooter site as well as a motorcycle site and generally have no problem with the size of my appendage (regardless of its small size) I’m not afraid of change. I couldn’t give a rats ass what brand of bike I ride, I don’t care if it’s a particular style, I certainly don’t care if it’s a manual or automatic. In this regard I’m about a BILLION times more open minded than the usual motorcycle writer…sorry but this is true. See I’ve discovered that like most industries the motorcycle world is filled with people who are entrenched in the past. These traditionalists believe that if a bike doesn’t have a particular set of required features it is not a worthy motorcycle. This attitude is about as clever as using a fire cracker as a prophylactic. For these people here is a news flash…things  change. Yes it’s true. Even more amazing is that sometimes we can make progress with technology... Yes, progress i.e. move FORWARD, improve etc.
