So near...

#1 Post by cheesypoofs » Fri Aug 17, 2012 9:21 pm

Missed out on a black Falco on FleaBay.
Never thought I would risk buying a bike unseen, but it had nice bits on it. :smt003
And it was only at £1000 this morning, I bailed at £1500 and it went for £1550.

Ho hum, back on the search.

Meanwhile, Merlot :smt013

welcome

spitfire please

and with your user name, are you a friend of flatlanders?


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...

Good grief!

I need a drink now!

Ot Pete I don't recall telling you I liked cheese :smt017

I guess that leaves .... The ........ Rest for you :smt017 :smt002
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Lol I saw that one. Don't like silver frames though.

Was a great price though with only 18k on the clock.

There's a couple of comedy yellow ones on now starting at a higher price than that sold for.

I don't think the yellow one will sell for a lot of money. 1300 quid springs to mind, if he is lucky. with milage etc...
The black falco had some nice trick bits and maybe should have sold for more even if it was slow black crow :smt037

Ahem! There may be stealth versions about but black crow does not imply slow.
