Liking the Akrapovic exhausts (I have similar, but in stainless) and the immaculate workshop (very envious!). Seeing the bike all loaded up reminds me of the trip to France on the Falco that Mrs Mango and I took the previous summer...

Just for you mangocrazy, unfortunatly my garage isn't always tidy although it has been cleaned up again since
![:smt001](./images/smilies/001.gif)
in the pic it shows the falco with a few more up to date mods ie db screen, led indicators etc
the shoddy concrete in the middle of the floor though is because there is a pit down there but when i built my house i ran the concrete deeper than i remembered and the sthil saw couldn't cut through. As the man from jaws said "were going to need a bigger boat" or saw lol

Workshop, bike & wife all look good (said in a complementary way rather than a perving on your mrs sort of way ... I'm not Aladinsaneuk ....) - the top box looks practical.
I thought the shetlands were a nice quiet place - your picture suggests traffic jams stretch right out from the towns into the deepest countryside!

Note which way the traffic's pointing. Unless Shetland has declared UDI from the UK on Road Traffic matters, that pic is taken 'sur le Continong'...

Thanks for your comments guys
![:smt023](./images/smilies/023.gif)
the pic with me in it was taken about two years ago while we were away at a rally in Stirling the wife and i headed out for a more lesurly (spelling) run and that pic was taken somewhere up Glen Coe if i remember. Yes the top box is certainly not a aesthetic addition to the the falco but it is handy for touring
![:smt001](./images/smilies/001.gif)
. I'm thinking to mod the modified XJR 1100 givi rack to take side boxes and do away with the soft panniers.

If you look even more closely
(with any necessary devices that may be obtained from the reasonably-priced specsavers emporium) you may notice that Mr Woody and his Falco are parked up in a layby, the "traffic jam" being on the left of the road and the vacant lane for traffic coming uphill to the right.

hey i resemble those remarks!
nice workshop :)
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...
