£125 is a good price. Bargain! :smt002

Enjoy Aprilia-hood. Once bitten, you're hooked for life. I tried to get away once.. Failed miserably. :smt003 :smt003
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

I ordered a fireblade side stand from the local Honda dealer this morning....so should be picking that up tomorrow....have also being giving the bike a deep clean.....only part way through at the moment......I suppose it's normal for owners of these bikes to smile like a loony everytime u start the bike......if not I do.......awesome bikes....

Isn't that no longer a problem, since they've been phased out anyway?

Knowing Suffolk traffic -they would still do you

Just take it off


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...

They had a right side? Thought it had to be visible. Meh. Never gave a toss anyway, and now I'm not able to even if I wanted to. :smt102

They did Will .... but all history now.

In some ways, a bit of a shame as I liked to keep my collection of tax discs and they were a good reminder of when the bike needed to be re-taxed and often gave a good clue when the MOT would be due too.

I do believe I still have some 4-pad Brembo calipers knocking about somewhere since you have started the 'compulsory Falco uprating regime' :smt005
