Sorry I am confusing gentlemen named Rodney!Title: Re: Rodney Pilkington Aprilia Post by: Tony Stephens on 07 September, 2023, 02:43:20 PM Rodney had a major accident in the car in the early 70s and supervised the repairs himself. I am sure it will have been repaired conscientiously, but nevertheless a good look underneath would not go amiss. They are prone to cracking about the front axle mountings, and a collision will not have improved things.
