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!

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.
