Thanks for the feedback, how tall are you if you don't mind me asking ....
He has been known as Twizzle .... this is a clip of him in action and tells you all about him ....

We used to have a chap on here called Treetops - he was a good 6ft 7in and he got on with it fine ..... then at the other end of the scale we had Kwackers who had a Mille - and he made Hobbits appear huge.
There aren't many that can't fit on them - particularly with a bit of adjustment on ride-height etc.

You're probably just about right in the middle of the ideal range

Hi Gio, thanks for the link....... I'm now scared for life

Bidding on one as we speak on EBay 2005 4080 miles, I think the ride height should be fine

Hahahaha, I was waiting for that, i'm not as tall as I was, (6'4" now) and that pic Bobbi put up was caused by the minuscule tent I was in 6' long and 3' wide, even Tim couldn't stand up in it lol.

Good luck on the auction, it'll be the right size for you anyway.

Hi, welcome and hope get that Falco.
Most people fall utterly in lust with the bonkers torque and acceleration that comes with Falco ownership.
No doubt Obe Won Keblinkey501 has taught his pupil well

There you go Blinkey

Damn, blast, what a noob I am lost out on the Falco by £100 F*** my life

fatboy · #28 Post by **fatboy** » Thu Nov 17, 2016 7:14 pm

Oh man... £100

rookie mistake, I have no doubt that Jay has told you what to look for, what to avoid ect.
If I'm bidding on something I really want then I think about the top price I would pay, if it's really nice then I up the odds a bit and increase the max bid, that way you seperate yourself from bargain hunter to serious buyer.
I have won some good stuff beating other max bids by a few pounds and well below my own upper limit.
good luck with the next one !
Have you looked at Skye's post re low mileage Falc for sale ?

Blinkey's advice as follows, it needs a shock upgrade, under cowl, fairing was scraped needs body work and paint, swiftly followed by, buy it BUY IT BUY IT...

It was up for £2900 my offer was £2700 taking into account the extra cost of the upgrades, saying that it was good nick and only 4000 miles.

Yeah I've seen it it looks mint but I want the black and red, but it is an option as long as Blinkey goes to pick it up for me....

You live and learn I suppose.... Oh wait

The black and red one you refer to is Flamingo red.

Possibly the BEST colour for the falco.

Collection depends on where my Van is going?

I would have to ask my boss if I could do a site survey and swing round the north east for delivery.
