Hi all! My name is Jay and I'm new to the site. I currently ride a Suzuki gsx750w inazuma and will also be picking up an Aprilia Falco on sunday, hopefully the weather will be kind enough to allow me a pleasant blast from Brighton to home! I look forward to some good reading on this site.

Cheers
Jay

Welcome to the asylum. :smt003

(I hope your bank manager knows you're here.. You'll see what I mean in due course.. Don't worry, the Falco isn't a money pit.. Well, not in the un-reliable sense anyway :smt002 )

Isn't it a virus that you can get in the winter?
I think they give the old people jabs for it - Howard would know ;)

Get them riding in this weather and we'll find the Blue Jays have re-formed

Japanese for lightning I think.. I've seen it before on imported bikes (Suzuki's), so (the new) Jays is probably an import.. Pure guesswork there..lol.

Welcome Jay :smt006 I am the other Jay :smt104
You just need three other falco's to really confuse everybody.
Enjoy using the forum for the massive amount of information.
If you see something on ebay you like don't post a link asking about it as the vultures will be there before you know what is happening. :smt018
Pm one of the members. D rider, Aladinsane, Willopotamous and myself know about the value of a lot of falco things and of course donor parts from the mille.
We will give you honest advice.
Please feel free in the new year to join us at one of our meets we will in due course tell you when they are coming up and they are worth a visit.
Now all we need to know about is your wonderful new purchase :smt003

Thankyou for all the welcomes, the inazuma was in Suzukis official range from 98-01. It's a retro style bike suited to the old codger in me!

Hi :smt006 Hello to the codger in you as well, does he have a bike too?
The new 250 commuter bike is being flogged as an inazuma, I quite fancy one for zipping round town on.
