hello all

and thank you all for this forum ! here i found, that it is not really a 2005 and that it is a genuine uk bike and the head light is correct and it will probably run out of electricity (and it did) all this before i paid for it
i would also like to thank mr shinybike sydrome and give a hearty recommendation for his services he did both a mine last w/end top notch results

Welcome Dave, Glad the Site has been of use to you, The guys on here really do provide a wealth of information, not just on the Falco, but most of the big V Aprilias. I think theyre amazing in just how well they know their bikes and hope that you'll be able to find the answers to most if not all your problems thru them, hopefully saving money and hassle along the way!! Watch out though as they do a neat line in recommendations for tuning and bling too!!

Welcome from me too davebms. You have the best colour scheme! This is a really great forum. Apart from the excellent advice from the more experienced members, it's probably one of, if not the friendliest sites around. Lots of banter and good natured acceptance of differing opinions which is certainly not the case on some others. You will enjoy your Falco

Hi and welcome.

Just be careful if you leave Nooj to clean your Falco ....... lock his hacksaw away or you might not get back all you started with ........

Isn't lager somewhere to park tanks?
