be safe thumper, and don't be a stranger


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...

Love aprilias always will,so will visit from time to time always interested in what you guys are doing with your bikes and I learn from you guys as much as anyone else it's a great forum pity it seems so quite these days :smt001
I have just sold my little Honda XL600 tonight someone has bought a nice little bike so now just have an elefant to feed. :smt003

As to my falco it sold in 48 hours got a good price and dropped it off in the midlands the guy was chuffed to bits when he set eyes on it :smt007 and he should be it was a gem. Sorry to say had no time to hang about and talk but got the feeling it may be binned real soon. :smt005 nuff said

s'pose you haven't got a set of fairing side panels per chance - any condition considered - even one on its own is a start ....

Guess if you haven't, then I just need to wait a while for the new owner do do his worst - at least it will be a local collection from the midlands .......

All well and good getting rid of the Falco, but you might end up doing what I did... buying another one. I couldn't help it, she was yellow and unloved and I just had to take it. I have another bike, but the Falco is just the one bike that I like as much as I first rode one, 7 years ago.

I guess someone has to love them all, even the yellow ones...
