I've found the time to update the site a bit, so here is the feedback:

• Growler has mailed me to let me know that the button to upload images was gone. This was a bug in the system and should be ok now.
• With the latests version of this portal, you can easily stay informed about the threads in the forum. To do this, simply click on the "subscribe" link and you will get an e-mail when there is a new reply/thread.
• I finally found the time to updates the WSB section with all race reports and pictures, but are you interested in this? Let me know here.
• Update Jan 26: created a new section in the forum, so you members can share your own experience with the bike. When there is a members review, I will put the intro on the home page and create a custom page under the publication page so others can see the difference between reviews of online magazines or members experiences.

Update Jan 31, 2010: LosPer wrote the first member review!

Well, I spent some time on the Aprilia yesterday....followed by some seat time on my Ducati 848 and my 05 CBR1000RR as a basis for comparison. Here are some quick impressions riding the bike in TRACK mode/map only, on a cold day (48 degrees ambient) and on damp roads. I took the RSV4-R on some local twisties, and got it up as high as 123 MPH to test acceleration and perceived speed. Stock tires, Metzler Racetec K3, 32 PSI Front (Cold) 34 PSI Rear (Cold). Just under factory recommendations for a single rider.
