Porgies to both but I am approaching the age of early confusion :smt003
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

When the GT was 2 wheels I found it was noticeable if it was even 1psi down on the front tyre.
The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.

I said it didn't feel right. Which I suspected may have something to do with the front tyre now being quite worn and having a slightly different profile which as I was being tentative in the greacy conditions, I was feeling more than usual. I was surprised the pressure was as low as it was.

I wasn't intending using the Falco much until spring so I was going to get a fresh front tyre then. We'll see how long it takes to get the BM fixed.

Stormy petrol on a stick?


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...
