Now Offically a Falco Owner

#1 Post by randomsquid » Tue Feb 15, 2011 7:08 pm

Bike was delivered today.
Of course it's been pissing down all day and the battery was nearly flat...
Oh, and while I was playing with it the back brake light switch stuck.

I owned a Guzzi, unsticking brake light switches and charging batteries is not a new experiance.

I'll sort it the weekend and go for a gentle blat. :smt002

cheers folk.
I also did my first mod. Optimate cable into the area under the rear seat.
If I can find an 150 mile long extension cable it'll never run out of electric again.

Was the first thing I did to mine too. :smt003

Nice one dood.. Enjoy it.. Hopefully we'll see you on some of the meets during the year. :smt030
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Thanks. I'm sure you will. I'll have to get a splatnav though. I've no sense of direction at all.

The Black Country, or God's Chosen Land as we like to call it...
Wednesbury to be more specific.
Not a million miles from Ikea or Carcraft.
Sometimes I'm in other exiting bits of it. Like Dudley, or The Big City as it's known round here.

Used to be all factories round here.

Know it well. Used to deal with a lot of company's over that way. Cradley, Netherton, Halesowen, Wednesbury, Dudley, Oldbury, Darlaston Black Heath etc.. Have a good friend in Cradley. I'll give you a nudge next time I'm over that way.. Compare Falcos! :smt003

We don't go to Cradley, not since the incident with the pig.
You're welcome any time you're passing. If you're good you can pet my Kawasaki. It likes that.

Hmph. :smt002

If we're doing regional humour.

What do you call a Chinese takeaway just outside Stourbridge?


The yo min Lye. That's our local joke. We're very proud of it.
