Welcome to the forum.
So, in those 7 yrs what have you done to your Falco?
Hi D-Rider, not done much to her really apart from sliding down the road in '04' and repairing the damage. The next thing was fitting her with a set of SL carbon cans and a race chip.

Plenty older than me on here Greg (despite what the swamp-dwelling pig-flu chap may tell you)
I've a long time to go before I need to decide whether it'll be the Falco or the bus-pass.

Glad you got her fixed up - and SL Carbons are good too.
Hope there was not too much damage to yourself!
Didn't actually get my Falco 'till 2004 !

Nice bike, I even quite like the colour and you have a signature I can appreciate.
So how about a run down on your bike history and a picture or two?
Hallo Sir!
Ah, that old chestnut. The colour is like the taste of marmite. My stock reply to anyone who dislikes her appearance is, "Read Bertrand Russell's 'Perception of colour' essays". That usually does the trick. As for history, she only done just under 9k. Got some SL Carbons with chip. She came with 800 miles and genuine panniers. Only use her for camping trips really and bike meets. up until last year a 600 Bandit was my everyday bike. Pictures to follow when I work out how to use new camera and software.

Thanks,
That's when I found out how expensive the bleeders can be! Cans are great but problem with chip has caused me to revert to standard for now. Will put cans back on for any pics that follow.

Yer I know, but it's like xmas; it would be crap if it was everyday. No seriously, she was laid up for a while after we had a threesome with some tarmac. I used a Bandit up until last year as well which made me appreciate the Falco more. As for getting out more, I can't argue with that.

I am sure the Famous YD will now swing by and give you a proper yellow welcome!

Don't worry fastasfcuk, just a warped sense of humour I'm afraid.
