OK folks it my bikes 10th birthday today and the drinks are on me.

Can't believe it's 10 years today that I collected her from Powersports Clay Cross.
(Just gone out of business, and CMC moving into the premises, from Calow)
10 years of fun, happiness and big smiles.

Drink up, i'll start with a pint of the Old Peculiar.

Snecklifter 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...

Since it almost looks like the spring may arrive - I'll have a pint of Doom Bar please!

Happy birthday bike!


Today I was talking to the bloke who used to ride my Kwak before his brother sold it to the bloke I bought it from - he's about 4 bikes down the line and was amazed I still have the same one! (with an extra wheel)

Well done Ken! :smt023 :smt038
You deserve a drink for suffering with an unreliable piece of Italian garbage for all those years.
Then again you got an Aprilia Falco and not a Duke or whatever, so 10 years of pure bliss, nice innit.
I'm coming up for the "seven year itch" in July, but will just scratch it and carry on with much more of the same.
(Then again I have also had 4 Fiat cars and 3 Alfa Romeos over the years, and they were never a problem either.)
But, then again, the first two Alfas did oxidise to nothing within a very short time, so perhaps I should not have mentioned them!

If you won't let me buy you one, I'll have a J&B please.

That's dedication; well done - to you and the bike!

A pint of Hoegaarden would go down very nicely, thanks.
