/whistles quietly as he checks what spare modding stuff he has lying around.....


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...

Welcome... this place is cracking :)

And mine has a standard swinger :smt003

And don't get any ideas of flogging my stand will... the bike will be back on the road this coming weekend (the following at the latest) so I'll pop on over to collect and drool over your garage :)

Sorry for hijack... welcome again!

Welcome on board Scottie,

Sounds like a nice find. I'm sure you will enjoy the bike.

Making it your own is a tad addictive though, so get ready with the credit card!!!

Hi Scottie, and welcome.
If it's got the original Me3 tyres and 2,300 miles, i'll bet the rear tyre is like my head and the back one is nearly like it. :smt005
Blimey Ken, how many rear wheels are you running on yours these days ?

:smt003

Hi Andy,
I've only got a small head, and a 180 section is enough to fill my parting.
Are you on a 190 or 200 section.
