just too see if there is any falco riders left over here?

been about 4 years since i last used mines in anger (properly!).

long story........working abroad/unemployed/marriage/divorce/car (nicking my bike money).

leaky fork seals, ohlins rear serviced, new tyres, new chain sprockets, new pads, clutch jet and plenty tlc.......hoping back on road end may.

Thinking it's going too be like riding it for the first time... :smt003

Hope it all goes as planned, should feel great to get back on the bike again, even if you are a bit rusty.

Sucks for you, but it's nice for me to know there are Falco folk who are getting even less use out of their bikes than I have been over the last few years. Hopefully things will pick up for us all this year!

welcome back


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I'm not in NI, but I will be next week. Doing a 10 day tour, sailing to Wexford to see family then heading up for the Cookstown 100 (my dad was from Cookstown, not that I'd know him I I saw him). I'll be on my '01 fire red Falco for the trip.
