Glad you've got a new bike!

Pity it's not a Kawasaki.

Well I had to say it!

What an amazing welcome to this group! yep, I'm a mainlander - mum and dad are down home in Kaiwera. I'd put remus revolution cans on my 'storm before she was pinched. The MTCs that came with the falco are certainy loud but am still getting used to the extra noise from the headers, which am told are more free flowing by default. Riding in the rain this week (not a fair weather rider me) I actually had a low rev stall tonight at some lights. The remus cans on the 'storm had such a grunty rumble to them and I kinda miss it. I know that the overrun popping from those cans was not necessarily a good thing - I never got it tuned - but still...
I know few (none!) bikers here in the UK and am dead keen to get my feet wet on the continent. If anyone could suffer a europe-newbie on a weekend trip anywhere I'd be up for it.

Think most of us had a stall or two in the early weeks, you won't keep doing it once you fully tune to it. Unfortunately I'm a few miles too far up the M1 for an easy meet up, but there are a few of our lot around London, who might be amenable.
Keep enjoying the bike!

Welcome to the site Wonderdog.

You'll have to tell us more about your bike and some of your trips.

I'll have a word with my son, he's just changed jobs and will be working in Fleet Street/Strand environs. He's got my Falco, but it won't be going to London until 2 weeks time.

Another shift in bringing Gio back to normality (whatever that is

) .... the Falco is once again described as Gio's bike.
