Bumped into the Aprilia PR Lady, Gretchen Pfuhl, at Centurion yesterday.
Cellphone Pic attached.
She is busy putting together a demo track on the open gravel patch on the south side of Centurion City for the upcoming Aprilia Pegaso 808 Gauteng demo & launch.
The bike is a lightened & strengthened Pegaso with the same Rotax motor as on the BMW F800Gs, but with a whopping 8cc added as a result of a modified crank with a lengthened stroke.
Gretchen showed me the demo bike, and I was impressed by the sexy Italian lines and lovely pair of cylinders.
I persuaded her to let the WDs try the track and bike and she agreed on Wed (tomorrow) at about 5pm until it gets too dark to ride.
She gave me the GPS demo track in Centurion, attached, and has invited us for a beer at the pub (Waypointed on track) afterwards.
Interesting lady - From Erzberg in Austria, and was with KTM before moving to Aprilia as PR & test rider, and her nickname is "Miss Aprilia" Pfuhl.
