Not a big fan of the high level exhausts on the Falco as they look like biffy Ducatti copies. :smt009

The only reason I look at high level exhausts is I had a Sil Moto system on a Ducati Monster I had and they were brilliant, Sil don't do anything for a Falco which is a shame as would have a pair from them if they did.

Hi all,

He has been away on holiday, out of the country, maybe they rang while he was in turkey :smt004 He probably wouldn't answer the phone out there, cost too much :smt002

Same number, or he busy when they have rang.....

Always worth recording a message on the mobile answerphone.



..... trouble is I never remember to change the message when I get back .... mine probably still tells people I'm in Japan .... as some of you have discovered .....

Well I did support their national football team at the Olympics yesterday (and a thoroughly awful game it was too - they and Honduras make Coventry City look good).

Fortunately the following game between UAE and Senegal was much much better.
