Looking the goods, Grant...

There is going to be one very lucky new owner for this Atlas.

Can you let me know about which hand guards you have fitted - the ones on mine need replacing..

Thanks, bike is still for sale.
It is now wearing new chain/sprockets, brake pads, carrier, hand guards, revised (improved) jetting and a new silencer (with db killer) and mid pipe. I'm in the middle of organising new tank decals and then its finished. If it doesn't sell I'll keep it. Might sell the Corsa.  :o

The hand guards were generic ones off fleabay.
Just look for them with hydraulic brake cover, but no hydraulic clutch cover (doesn't fit).
I then had to faff around with the left guard anyway as the built-in choke pivot obstructed fitment so I cut it back enough to be able for it to fit.

Your potential new bike has the right name then...

Yes.
I used to enjoy riding on snow or black ice. Considered it a chalenge.
Have since become reasonable  ;)

Which is why I stopped riding my triple daily, I wanted something more reasonable. After considering a BM R100R, I bought the Saturno. Much lighter on the slippery bits though clip ons make counter steering trickier. I remember riding that 60 km to work, on icy roads in the dark.

Anyway, now on to Aprilia.

Always liked the modern Saturno, such a pretty bike, the 600 anniversary was nice too, and the Nordwest engines were tough enough. What motor is in the Atlas Grant?
 
Found and wore my cufflinks.....

I have a waterproof boat style cigarette lighter type plug mounted on mine. Whats the advantage of one over the other?
 
with a cigar lighter socket, you can plug in any car cable adapter for any device - or a car to USB adapter (that comes for almost nothing; make sure it has at least 1200mAh if you use the mobile for navigation, too, else it does not load the battery, just reduces the draining of it...). With a USB-socket you are limited to cables with a USB plug...
