Aprilia Mille Factory

It was a threshold moment, a little slice of intense time as I traveled at great speed though space when I realized the coming corner was coming faster than anticipated. Panic's bony fingers gripped hard on my chest, so I let my digits do the same on the Brembo radial brake lever. Having great, great experience with panic on a racetrack, my highly honed egad! responses are pretty consistent, so I gave a too-healthy squeeze and...the rear wheel lofted into the air! Other than being a surprise, what's the big deal? Well, it took less effort to get this phenomenal braking response than on any other bike I've ever ridden. Also, the feel and sensitivity to changes in lever pressure were the best I've ever experienced. I think we normally call the latter "modulation." I was able to modulate the back end gently back to earth, continue to trail-brake as I peeled it right for the corner, flicked it on the deck and made the turn like I meant to ride the thing on one wheel at 100 mph on the entrance.
