Im back!

#1 Post by tommy » Thu Sep 18, 2008 7:48 pm

Been off the road for 8 weeks due to broken hand (Now held together with pins). Anyway, cast came off monday.
I've just got back from a ten mile meander, sore as hell, but i dont care, im back on the bike!! :smt098
Anyway, i diverse.
I'm thinking of streetfightering the Falco when I get car licence sorted. Therefore I'll be removing fairing, and this got me thinking.

A: Is anyone after a set of mint bronze fairing
B: Where the hell do I stick the air sensor from the LH air duct (Seb?)

How much for the plastic

Smart move Gio - probably one of the safer investments in this day and age :smt002

welcome back

and I do have an idea of why he wants the plastic - if it relates to what we spoke about in costa del yarmouth.....


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...
