LEASE YOUR APRILIA
In an effort to broaden the appeal of its products, Aprilia USA has added leasing options on new 2007 machines.
The 24-, 36and 48-month lease terms can even be secured without a down payment and in many cases for a lower monthly outlay than with a traditional installment loan. Customers can also include accessories in the lease. “We believe that leasing has major appeal to riders who are interested in high-end Italian motorcycles like Aprilia,” says VP of Marketing Mike Kull. “Leasing provides the customer with a lot of flexibility and options. They can upgrade to the newest models when the lease is up without the challenges of selling a used bike or haggling over a trade-in.”

EDISON DYE, 1918-2007
Edison Dye, often referred to as “The Father of American Motocross,” passed away in Lemon Grove, California, on May 10, his 89th birthday. “Edison Dye has left an indelible mark on motocross,” said former MX star John DeSoto, who raced for Dye in the 1970s. “He inspired a new approach to American motorcycle racing by introducing worldclass riders from the European race circuit. Individuals such as Roger DeCoster, Joel Robert,
Lars Larsson and Torsten Hallman arrived in this country, unleashing their ‘European style’ of riding on an unsuspecting American continent, forever changing the level of performance in motocross raey ing. He helped build what S became a multi-billiondollar international industry that allowed many of us riders to achieve our wildest dreams. In fact, many of today’s top riders are probably unaware of his contributions to our sport.”
