New to Riders

#1 Post by old git » Fri Apr 02, 2010 7:43 am

Been instructed to get in here & get some virtual beers in by ALADINSANEUK, so here I am. :smt006
Old red Falco rider, yes the bike & me & yes both old & both red, especially when I have to climb stairs or anything, i'm sure this dam pacemaker needs a new battery, anyone got any jump leads?

Anywho hope you will all treat a newb gently, little experience (at anything) so be prepared for the daft, awful & downright stupid questions in the future.

Hope to see some faces on a ride near you soon.

Before the Falco lads find out your credit rating, Ill have a medicinal JD too please :) Welcome to the Site - approach the Falco forum with caution, they like spending money on mods for Falcos and I guarantee they can talk even the most hardened purist into having a shock change, sidestand change, swingarm swap..... oh never mind, youll find out...

The lads will be more than happy to answer daft questions and Im sure theyll go easy on you :smt001

Welcome old git,

Going to have to get us a Saga section soon. Suppose we can still discuss 'arferitic postrates' and stuff, see if any of the young uns will feel the need to upgade.

I'll have a Scotch thanks.

If I remember from AF1, Old Git isn't really that old ..... at least not when put in a room with Sam, Howard and Tweaker.

Well so you should. Respect is due, they are our seniors by at least a "couple" of years. :smt002

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...
