Supposed to be a Fazer meet, but hardly any Fazers turn up any more so I thought I'd open it up for Aprilia types as well, seeing as how the Missus and me have both.

NICE PUB with GOOD FOOD. The local BMW GS lot use it, so it should certainly be good enough for us :smt003

Usually all meet up at about 19:30 - 20:00.

Not really local for me so I just might have to cry this one off mate.

Cheers anyway.

The Falco is in bits its got a dead battery and no exhaust system as the link pipes are being modified (Going back to a twin with HL Renegades on as well as the Rene airbox).

I might run it up to Don's place to have it on the dyno. (Well my son will ride it if it goes there)

BTW he might well buy it off me (I'd like that) then I'll bag his 'cat as a track bike :smt003

I'd rather track the Falco.. Slightly longer bike I think? So more stable and planted when youre cranked over, but ultimately more fun firing ot out of the bends. :smt001

So would I but........................... I'd like a slower bike for the track, as it means I'll use it, the Falco scares me now :smt012 yet my son thinks its great, which at 24 I guess it would be, we all felt a bit Captain Invincible in those days :smt001

If he does have it, I've convinced him to join ARS and I'll remove myself from the group as there are some things I'd rather not find out!!!!!! :smt005

Surprisingly quite a few Fazer folk turned up (only three actually on Fazers :smt003 ) No Aprilias though :smt012
