The Scandinavian cowboy parks his horse...

"Hi ya'll - new in town, have a beer on me! And I'll have one of those pillion / rear seat pads too, please..."

My newest steed:

A 2000 with 28.000 km (17 k miles) on it ......

My biking past and present:
First bike was a Virago XV 535 (from age 23-28).
Next Kawasaki ER-6n '07, got stolen last autumn!
This spring I have considered and test ridden: VFR800 pre-vtec and SV650S - I'm sure they're lovely bikes in their own rights that might grow on you, but didn't excite me much.. Fazer FZS600 '03 - very nice, and had that red Falco not been so damn desirable (colour is spectacular IRL!), I would've bought one of those. Street Triple 675 - yes! LOVE IT, but so do their present owners apparently and not willing to part with them. Damn, maybe in another couple o'years.

Cheers!

I'm guessing from your forum name that the part of Scandinavia you are from is Denmark.

Another Dane on this forum, Martin Poll, has a great website with loads of useful Falco resources:

Welcome to the asylum. I hope you've got a good credit rating with a steed that looks virtually standard. Not that there's anything wrong with a standard bike, but I'm sure you'll see what I mean once you get to know the place. :smt002

Welcome :)


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 mate. :smt001
I'm right 98% of the time so why worry about the other 3%?

RIGHT, WHO KICKED THE BLOODY DOORS IN?







Oh righty.. that'll have been the newbie then... :smt018



*sigh*

Why is it always the newbies..?

Anyone checked his credit rating yet.....?


Welcome Simon. Expect to be led down the path of modification quite quickly. Especially if you chat with Aladinsane.. :smt001 :smt001

Bottle of JD please. :smt003

Welcome to the site Simon. :smt006
Hope you enjoy the bike.
Had mine nearly 8 years now, and it still excites me every time I ride it.
