From a press release issued by Aprilia USA:

Aprilia USA announces re-scheduling for
Colin Edwards Riding Experience

The date of the Colin Edwards riding experience must be changed due to a schedule conflict with
his MotoGP press commitments.

Woodstock, GA (August 8, 2003) – Owners of the 2003 Aprilia Mille R “Colin Edwards Replica” will have to wait a little bit longer to drag pucks with the champ. Unfortunately a television show and presentation was booked by the Aprilia racing department on top of the previously announced Colin Edwards track day, forces the re-scheduling of his US track day.

“I’m pretty bummed out about the change,” says Edwards from his Texas ranch, “but the MotoGP world is as crazy off the track as it is on the track, and at this time it’s better to change the date in the US than change the schedule in Europe. I promise that we will all get together later this year and make up for the canceled date.”

The re-scheduled event has not yet been confirmed, however the Moto GP’s schedule frees up in November, allowing the next opportunity to schedule the Aprilia Racing Moto GP pilot.

Current Colin Edwards Replica owners will receive a letter and gift from the 2002 World Superbike Champ explaining the change in date.

Due to the limited nature of the Colin Edwards Replica – only 50 were imported to the US, with Frame #45 going to Colin himself – not all dealers were lucky enough to have one on their floor. Interested customers should contact Aprilia USA to locate a dealer that may still have its replica available.
