Live from Fontana

[R Pandya]

Hello all - I just wanted to let you know that the team is in Fontana, CA and raring to go! We will be posting pix, and updates on the magazines at www.apriliausa.com.

Atkins promises that the bike looks great - as does his presentation - plus he's feeling really good on the machine. The race is not 'till 7:20 PM tonight - but we will try to post news mid-day today - after qualifying etc.

Log on - and rock on.

Sweet & Good luck to Atkins and team.


Maybe some Atkins/ApriliaSXV poser shirts for the future. If I only lived closer to Fontana.

Just got back from there...I saw the qualifying/practice whatever it was...he started looking strong towards the end there! The bike is WAY more quiet than I would have thought. The KTM's were super loud!

Bike & Rider looking good though! Kepp up the good work guys!

P.S. - No schwag? Tell Piaggio to kick down for some schwag for the fans!

Good results considering they had to run the 450 due to some last minute glitches with the 550.

It was a stock 550, I do believe... but still! :plus:
