why is it on fleabay you can buy mille parts so cheap and easily, but falco bits are so hard to come by and so expensive. were milles mass produced, or has there been more smashed up, and falcos have carefull and considerate riders nothing against mille riders i love milles. There are two fairings for milles on ebay in good condition, but falcos have one damaged one on. , rant and rave over lol

Mebbe it's because Millies were ever so fashionable for a while and Falcos only sold to us sophisticated, elegant, intelligent individualists?

john i see your point !

At a rough guess, Millies sold 10:1 to Falcos.

Hardly see a Falco but Millies are as common as a Pompey tart on a Saturday night

I'm from Wednesbury....

On an unrelated note I've not had a speeding ticket. Which is nice.

Clearly unrelated:
I've not had one either but I'm from Reading and have been exiled to Coventry for 3 decades.

Very unlucky john, i could get done everytime i go out. but i always try to stick to 30 and 40 speed limits. I have been out in lincolnshire today and was following a marked BMW, he was doing 40 in a 60 limit.
Two other bikes i was following would not pass has i think it was down to small number plates. I passed but kept revs low and i was sure i would get pulled has i have been using falco with no baffles in exsausts.
I think i will put them in though has i am sure it will only be a matter of time before i get a fixed penalty.

No, I didn't get one. I was half expecting one from when we went over the cat and fiddle because I thought it measured end to end and not in sections.

I agree with you with sticking to the lower limits. It's still a bit of a lottery in the national speed limits even if you've got you're eyes open.

Being sent to Coventry for 30 years is a bit extreme.

You have no idea

I have a speed awareness course instead of 3 points coming up from that stretch and I may have another one as I approached a camera head on anchored up thought I know I'll slip down this side road and head off so he doesn't get my plate ...good plan I thought why cunning even obviously would have been more cunning if I had read the No through road sign DOH!!
