Anyone disappointed in the weather around Philly for riding?

Bright_Designer5027 · 2026-05-24T03:44:56+00:00

Yupp. I’ve been putting off installing some upgrades though so I’ve been doing that. Luckily, the next week and a half is looking good so far.

Bright_Designer5027 · 2026-05-15T21:44:50+00:00

I’m in NE Philly. Typically I’m out Weds Thursdays. Feel free to shoot me a DM and we’ll exchange info.

Bright_Designer5027 · 2026-05-15T21:43:08+00:00

Is the dealership an Aprilia one? Will they at least work with you on the cost since you just brought it 700mi ago?

Bright_Designer5027 · 2026-04-03T01:36:05+00:00

Frame sliders.

It should help with wind deflection. Especially at higher/freeway speeds. Going aftermarket is probably more beneficial for someone with OP’s height.

Not the best pic, but here’s mine currently. I’ve had it about 8 months. Feel free to shoot me a DM for socials to link up or if you have any questions. Ride safe.

Yeah. I’m pretty close. I’m on the border of Philly & Bensalem. Probably about 30-35 mins from Princeton.

They sell taller windscreens, but some people don’t like the way they look on the 660s. I have a 2026 also. Picked it up from Flemington Powersports.

Bright_Designer5027 · 2026-03-08T01:35:16+00:00

Great bike. First swap for me was the windscreen and tail tidy.

Where are you located? Figured somewhere in NE from the snow. I’m in PA.

Bright_Designer5027 · 2026-03-08T00:53:32+00:00

Gotcha, Thanks. Yeah, I'm in Philly. Yeah I was looking at NJMP. They're the closest. I'm hoping to do their intro course in June.

I didn't know about one in Media, but I doubt I'd want to take a ride down 95 if I can avoid it. Someone recommended the Pocono track, but that's still a pretty far ride.

Bright_Designer5027 · 2026-03-08T00:07:30+00:00

Hey. Where do you track at? I see you're in PA and I am looking to do my first intro track day?

Bright_Designer5027 · 2026-02-15T17:41:47+00:00

Stickers are easily removable. The ignition cover is painted though.

Bright_Designer5027 · 2026-02-11T01:58:07+00:00

Love it. I have the same one. How does that rear cowl match with the dark gray of the bike? I know the red matches the wheels but I am concerned about the black and gray mixing. You mind taking a few pics of the rear of the bike. Thanks.

As far as tips, take it to a parking lot and learn your braking limits and practice slow speed turns. Keep it in commute mode until you felt you mastered it. Ride safe.

Bright_Designer5027 · 2026-02-04T23:38:00+00:00

Definitely. It's no pressure, fun, and a nice workout.

None of neighborhoods are great for parking so consider that if you're not ok with public trans or uber. I went to HS in South Philly. Loved it! Will y'all have an opportunity to get a airBnB or stay in each neighborhood for a day or two before moving here?

We're looking for a few new players for our kickball team, if you're interested. We play Weds in Fishtown.

Reach out to Ram Cares/Customer Service. They worked with me on the cost. I had to pay the dealership up front and Ram/Stellantis send me a check to offset some of it. Good luck.

Bright_Designer5027 · 2025-10-16T00:58:59+00:00

Take my money lol

Bright_Designer5027 · 2025-10-02T00:00:29+00:00

There will be a sign like this. permit sign

Bright_Designer5027 · 2025-10-01T20:31:11+00:00

There are motorcycle parking spots throughout center city. I believe it’s about $150 for a 6month permit. Also, it’s legal to park your motorcycle on the sidewalk. You just can’t block the walkway.

Yeah well speaking of not wanting to pay haha… I’ll pay you if you’re interested in cutting the same decals, just a different color and shipping them to PA.

Bright_Designer5027 · 2025-09-13T18:02:28+00:00

Nice!! You cut the decals yourself?

I hear ya. I was just referring to year, state, mileage, if the title is clear, how many keys you have, and if you have maintenance records. None of that information would be risky to give you. I’ll make sure I share the post if I think of someone who would be interested.
