Mine!

Thought I'd give you guys first chance here as this has been such a good place for Aprilia help.

So, my footrest lowering kit didnt work and my ride to Scotland and back was mostly in pain and physical problems hampering my movements.

The bike however, was absolutely flawless.

Sadly. for me, things aint going to get better and even Tuono-ising, isnt going to help as its my hips that are my real issue.

So its time for Amadeus to move on...

I'm still working on the advert, I know I'll never get even half of the outlay back that Ive spent but that's the price of upgrade addiction I guess....

Comments welcome.

Of course I'm sure you know it Frank, but wouldn't it be better to put it back to something like standard and sell the bits? The Falco must become collectable at some point and collectors prefer standard. Can't be many Fire Red Falcos in this condition?

Thanks for the good advice but sadly, I had to sell all the original parts to fund all the work as I went along....

Wheels, forks, brakes etc

All gone to the Ebay in the sky.

If its canny will it ride you home after a skinful?
I'd be up for a bike that won't lose me my licence.
