Peter Rowbottom is 79 years old and one day decided that his Aprilia RSV was getting a bit too much for him.
During the first conversation I had with him he explained that in his own words "it growls at me everytime I open the garage door and I think that one day it will try to kill me..." hence his justification in ordering a factory built tR1ke.
Fearing the power of the R1, we built it using an R6 but in reality it's still a quick little machine.
The sequence of photos shows his first reaction and it's new home
I can assure you that as he lovingly stuck his home made badge onto the bonnet, there was not a dry eye to be seen.
I'm getting too soppy for this kind of thing...
