Another Scottish newbie joining the ranks...... I've been lurking in the background for a while and thought it was about time I came out in to the open. After a few Jap 600s I got a 2002 model Falco a couple of years ago. Always fancied the looks but was never sure about Aprilia reliability, but took the plunge after finding this site. So far bike remains standard - tho having seen the effect you lot can have on other owners credit ratings maybe i shouldn't have mentioned that!!!!! I have my eye on some cans and may go for the 15 tooth front sprocket at next service in a few weeks.

Anyhoo, was it one of you guys out on the Dukes Pass (riding Callander to Aberfoyle) at about 2.00pm today? I only ask cos I think I'd recognise you again by the rather startled/worried/terrified look you had as you came over the blind summit on my side of the road. Red Falco, no idea of plate. I reckon my Sprinter van would have felt it a lot less than you. I then had half an hour of trying to convince my wife that no dear, of course I'd never do such a silly thing, honest. :smt014

Yes, Welcome P&A

:smt006

Glad you're now an ex-lurker.

So, who's the naughty boy then? .... can't say that we're a group of saintly riders that always abide by the letter of the law .... but blind summit, wrong side of the road .... :smt103

Until the guilty party owns up, we'll assume it's someone that's not found the forum yet ..... hopefully ....

I didn't really think that anyone would own up.....

Lucky you - many is the time I've been stuck in the office looking at the bike sitting all lonely in the car park. Perthshire is fantastic for the long way home tho - a 20 mile trip sometimes takes 3,4,5 times that.
