Hi

#1 Post by jonnie_r » Mon May 20, 2013 5:17 pm

Just thought I'd say a quick hello.

Had my 2004 Falco since last Monday and it's an absolute blast. Sorted out the airbox restriciton and ecu wire cut, it already has an RSV shock, GSXR sidestand and a factory racing clutch cylinder.

I also have a Daytona 955i and a Sprint ST 1050, though the Sprint is going to make way for the Falco :)

Welcome

Welcome and what's your credit rating like?

Pint of crime de menthe frappe please


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...

Credit rating is passable.

I have rearsets on order (at 6'6 my knees come up a bit high) and have been thinking about a PC3 :) though the bike needs to be an all rounder as used for commuting, touring and scratching

I have a large barrel of fermented apple juice to start

Hi Jonnie and welcome.

I used to live near Tadley (Burghfield Common) and still visit my mum regularly down there.

Enjoy the Falco - had mine for 8 years now.

Welcome to the site Jonnie. :smt006
You've made a great choice.
I've had mine nearly 9 years and still love it to bits.
As you will see, many of us have owned one for a long time.
It's that sort of bike.

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

Cheapskate - with the prices in this bar being so cheap you can afford another round or two.
