Widowed Family Sues Clinton For Motorcycle Cop Death

Police motorcade
The family of the motorcycle police officer that crashed and was killed when escorting Hillary Clinton is suing anyone with pockets.

The one target for the lawsuit should indeed be sued, and that's the Dallas police department, since they didn't provide proper training (he crashed because he couldn't take a curve at normal speed), and they didn't provide adequate protection (a motorcycle helmet with little protection).

Aprilia Ad Shiver Naked Passion Italy
Turn of Aprilia motorcycles and their worldwide advertisements...

Problem was that there are very few ads out there, and all of them are made in Italy and then used in other countries.

Either Piaggio is hiding Aprilia from PR, or they hide their ads, or everyone knows the Italian motorcycle manufacturer.. and don't need no ads.

Anyway, here are 12 Aprilia motorcycle ads.
