All these newbies. Someone's got some explaining to do..
While I'm here. Anyone for an Orange Whip?

Uh-oh. This anti-establishment trend is spreading.

Haha .... that's what you think ..... some of us have forum powers of near-GCHQ capability and you can be curtailed or deleted with just a click in a box.
..... we are watching you ......
(though given the antics of those that have been here for years, I think it's safe to say those powers are very unlikely to be exercised)

No idea - people often do go AWOL .... some to return after a while and others never to be heard of again.
If anyone does know his whereabouts ......

OMG, they're everywhere!
A Falco parked outside the bowling alley, another at a medical centre and another one outside on yer bike. Saw as many Falcos in a week as I've owned! Has Aprilia started making them again and forgotten to mention it?

Never went away, just lurking in the shadows
Still loving the VFR though. Coming up to 8000 miles since I got it (including a gorgeous trip to Annecy in 37° heat) and still having a lot of fun :)
Put on a new screen, crash bungs and rack (Honda's own now, the Givi one snapped!). Just got a radiator grill to fit and got my eye on a quickshifter and a (stupidly expensive) slipper clutch so not missing the need to constantly spend money on modding the Falco
Not that I want to put Aprilia off if they
have made a new Falco...

We want pictures of:
- * your new screen
* and your crash bungs
* and your .... oooh, hang on , this isn't going to come out right ......

What I mean is we want to see your upgraded VFR .....

And this kind of behaviour is
exactly why I'm still here :)

Hey Katie, glad to see you back. Any idea what's happened to the VFR forum? It's been dead in the water for a couple of weeks at least. I was just about to set up a VFR section or two here and copy some of my stuff across, when it all went Pete Tong...
In fact we should set up a VFR section so you can post some pics of yours...

Looks like the whole bikersoracle thing is still down. Shame, it means mostly dealing with the US site and they can be hard work sometimes!
VFR section on here would be fun :)

Doesn't really demonstrate the mods, just showing off
