Not content with the one-day model launch, we finally brought an Aprilia Tuareg 660 home to run it on familiar trails and hand it over to a true offroad riding legend.
Geoff Ballard is the Godfather of modern Australian enduro. He's raced and won worldwide on anything from Factory bikes to slightly odd home 'developed' machines. We even paid a visit to a couple of his race bikes on display in the National Motor Racing Museum.
Spending time with GB whose stories could fill volumes is always great. Check out Ballards Offroad for anything and all things offroad and adventure.
And the Aprilia? Well, dive in and check out what I thought, but it distils easily down to one word...FUN.
Massive thanks to Guy Streeter/MX Store for additional footage.
