MCN: Aprilia RSV4 road bike


MCN was granted exclusive access to the new Aprilia RSV4 superbike at the Noale factory last week and we were also able to get this video of the bike showing details of the 180bhp V4 machine.

The bike will not be on show at the NEC bike show so this will be the closest many people can get until the bike hits dealers in the middle of 2009.

Watch the video below to see the motorcycle up close and read the full article in MCN, Wednesday 26, 2008.

'You're A Good Sport, Charlie Brown' (1975)



Saw this in Borders this weekend. What an eye catching cover, especially for The X Generation and Baby Boomers too who grew up watching Charlie Brown on TV in the 60s and 70s. It's from a new magazine called Racer X.

The article is titled: 'Good Grief! How The Peanuts Gang Went Racing' By Craig Schulz, son of Peanuts creator, Charles M. Schulz. This article was so enjoyable it made me look up 'You're A Good Sport, Charlie Brown' on YouTube.

I always loved this episode of Charlie Brown because it involved seeing them on motorcycles.
