Hello there

#1 Post by KitchenSync » Thu Apr 19, 2012 8:52 pm

Found myself tailing another Falco in Leicester belonging to HisNibbs. We pulled over and had a chat and he told me about this place *points to this place*.

Very nice group of people us Falco owners. The last time this happened was 8 months ago in Coniston.

Now I know what the clutch is supposed to feel like I can go spend some money to fix it.

Griff - if you're reading - this is Ian, the owner of the lethal silver Falco that you resurrected last April. I need another service - it's sounding like a tractor again - not the sewing machine that you gave to me 11,000 miles ago.

i note the leicester lot also avoid the Hinckley massive.....


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...

Hello! :smt006

I don't have a Falco and I'm not from Leicester!

Hello! That's my old bike! Been through a couple of owners since I had it so others can claim the same thing. Still looks good. Might bump into you on The local roads.

Hello!

Like BG, I'm neither from Leicester nor do I have a Falco

I have a far superior machine :smt002

It's an electric line

I've got a Black and Silver Machine!
