Please grow a moustache

I know 'taches are very unhobbit like but....

Short man, fiery temper NEEDS a moustache

Oh, and a scots accent though I suspect you are already acquiring that :)


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...

Never been asked to remove helmet ever :smt017

May have something to do with (previously) doing a long commute and wearing a lot of kit perhaps. I remember a copper letting me off having no MOT when he realised I was riding 140 miles home for tea.

I don't mind removing my helmet at the petrol station, one thing i have noticed is that when i go to a pay@pump the option to pay@ pump disappears forcing me to go into the kiosk to pay, When i challenged the high achiever behing the counter about this they said it was to stop bikers riding off with out paying for fuel (it never happens when i am in my car) whats the difference i could fill up and drive off without paying at any pump,
I now use my local BP Garage where the staff are friendly and don't treat me as a suspected thief it might cost a few pence more per litre but customer service counts for a lot.

But don't you have to put your card in before the pump is switched on ?????

Completely off-topic, but having noticed mellow haze's sig line - how many other Falco owners have owned LCs and YPVSs prior to owning a Falco? I know I did.
