Hi guy's, just joined. I have a 2000 Falco, iv'e owned her for around 5 years. I'm normally on the aprilia forum and was recommended to join here too. I hope to own her for a lot longer too and hopefully contribute to this forum :smt001
Thanks
Woody

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

Hello mate. Get your credit card ready if you intend to spend much time on here.

Not because they're a bunch of lushes on here (which they are) but because they'll have your bike modded to within an inch of it's life before you can say Falco. :smt003
I'm right 98% of the time so why worry about the other 3%?

Welcome

Speyside please - leave the bottle


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...

I've said Hi in the Falco bit of the forum .... but being as you're in the bar with a tab open I'll have jar of whatever they drink in the Shetlands (as long as that's not a pint of pony piss)

Shetland eh? I'm hoping to take my trike there next year!

Oh didn't they tell you - not everyone on here is an Aprilia nut!

I'll pass this time, you can buy me a bucket of red wine when I get there next June!

Welcome anyway!

Hoping to get to the Simmer Dim - will have to trailer the trike to Scotland as I can't ride that far, but I really want to be on 3 wheels for the rally, I've been wanting to do it for years!
