Two Falcos and it didn't rain !
Having let Falco Pete down for the Sunset to Sunrise charity ride (due to my suffering vertigo for a while), I had vowed to meet up with him at some point this summer.
On Sunday we met up just outside Alton and rode on to Loomies Cafe for a brew and then headed on to Portsdown hill (just outside Portsmouth).
Here's a pic of our Falcos with Pete next to his:
While we were there Pete got chatting to a very nice young lady with a GSR 750 .... and even secured her phone number (got to be worth something in the blackmail stakes not to tell his mrs .....)
Anyway, the sun was out and we had a great day before going our separate ways again near Alton.
I realised that over almost the past year I've not ridden at all other than the daily commute (3 miles each way) and the chance to put in more than 300 miles in about 26hrs was a change of pace .... took a while to re-calibrate.
These Falcos are bl@@dy fantastic road-burners.

If we get round to it again, we'll let you know.

We could play "Spot the Falco" with that one Pete.
Should be easier than "Where's Wally" as there are two in the picture (and the two Wallies are out of shot)
