Paint it yellow and the back wheel is liable to come up instead. :smt003

Yeah, paint it green and put a proper bike name on it! :smt002



But I'll take a pint of red wine with you anyway!

Edit - better make that a bucketful or Kwackerz will think I'm ill!

/eye andy

sort of a handicap system..... you'll be insisting next that those rust coloured ones have a proper colour name


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...

Don't listen to 'em Andy, you have a brilliant bike in the best (and fastest) colour, there's only one cure, just keep it up mate and enjoy it.

I have pencilled it in! Newark is an easy ride from me and I reckon I'll make it if its dry - I'm a big jessie when it comes to rain.

You'll get on well with F9 then ........

..... and guess we're unlikely to see you at Newark .... the gathering of Falcos together is proven to have a significant effect on the weather ..... and not in a good way ....
