Yeh I know, but where do you do it. :smt017
I can't do prison food.
Even worse, no Falcos allowed in there.

If it's pub speed, the Panni has you beaten as well as the S1000RR.
But still a fun bike....................... ENJOY :smt001

I think it would be close. Maybe lol

Although saying that, with my considerable size it might not be close. Lol

I had a mate who was known to be a complete nutter on a bike, who actually sold his Busa cos he knew he was going to kill himself trying!

That's madness! Although lets be honest, you would have to try... Most, if not all big bikes are more than the rider is capable of... Or most certainly myself anyway.

Oh del

You know the back road from Beccles to halesworth via Bernard Matthews? I have it on very good authority you can get a buss to 185 there...


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...

Light weight ..... You remember the a47 incident a few years ago? The one where no camera recorded the speed but the police did get a visual description ? i happen to know a Ducati owner who bought a new helmet, leathers and body panels that week end....
