Hi all, :smt006
I was a regular on the original site in 2003 but have been AWOL for various reasons (no, not been inside :smt018 ) Still got my red 2000 Falco but never seem to get out on her :smt010
Anyhoo, I will be selling her in the spring as I have gone mad and bought another Gpz750 Turbo (#4) the idea is that if I have a bike in the garage that is not being used, I would rather have a 25 year old potental classic than the modern Aprilia. Besides, she deserves better than to be sitting doing nothing year on year... 5000 miles when I got her - 9000 now! 1000 done on one trip to the IOM. How sad is that :smt087

Well that is VERY sad.

All bikes are for ridding , some can double as "works of art", very few are good investments. A 2000 Falco will not be "modern" much longer but 'll be a good ride for many years to come.

Any ways there is nowt as queer as folk and it'd be boring if we all thought the same.

Hi again - I remember you :smt023

Even when the Falco has gone, stick around - Ridersite is broader than just Aprilias.

Any idea what you will be looking for when you sell?
I know someone who is after one but it will need to be old to be affordable for him.

Nice to be remembered, cheers :smt036 I got all nostalgic and got another Gpz 750 Turbo (blast from the past) Think it's a mid-life-crisis :smt100

It's really a time thing, I don't get the chance to ride much these days so I want her to go to someone who will enjoy her
