Drinks on me to celebrate the "Dark Side".

#1 Post by HowardQ » Mon Jul 08, 2013 4:20 pm

Drinks on me to celebrate the Falco for a number of reasons this month.

First of all, I took it for the MOT Test this afternoon, and as usual it sailed through. That is now nine straight passes without even an advisory.

I then took it for a little run to Newark and back, to celebrate and finally clocked up 35K miles, (almost 29K with me).

And last but not least, I have had it nine years this month and it has been and still is the best and most reliable bike I have ever had, still love it every time I ride it.

Some may think that is sad, I call it bloody incredible! :smt007

Drinks waiting at the bar!

Beer

Thanks

Congrats :)


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Decent set of tyres = new bike
Air box an pipe = new bike
Ohlins = new bike
Ozes = new bike
Quick action throttle = new bike
Big bore kit = You get the picture.....

9 years is longer than a lot of relationships these days and well worth celebrating.

Pint of Guinness please
