Absolutely.
Which has given me another idea.

Nice pics and nice colour too.
Now all I need to do is paint mine green and get a new reg plate made up with the numbers..........

Yep - very nice.
Glad to see you're putting that Falco to good use Horntrider.
As for the colour scheme - it's almost as unique as the registration plate itself (maybe no different if Falcoholic has been busy with a yellow board and some sticky black letters and numbers .......)

Just arrived at Le Mans
Edit: Yes, I know they're not Akras, but they're the only stickers I could find big enough to cover the scratches after falling off the fecking side stand

Have you lost one of the fixings at the top of your bellypan?

looks like it - or he is using black fasteners that fade into the blackness of the black belly pan
and if there were such black fasteners readily available then i am fairly sure, on my pagan black heart, i would have a set of them
did I mention i have been listening to a lot of Black Sabbath lately?

Yeah I've lost one on each side - been meaning to replace them. Cheers for comments. It's funny, most of my mates are fairly jealous of the bike and have stated they wanted one but can't buy one now that I have one. I think the Falco is quite respected amongst bikers who 'know', it certainly attracted a lot of interest in France, particularly from the gendarmerie who breath tested us on the way back!!
...but not as much as my mate, who went over on his (1990 I think) CBR400RR - my god it was like flies around a shit with that bike! They're not available in France and never have been, so everyone was coming over and saying... Blade? But 400?? Was pretty funny.
Also you may (or may not) notice that there is some sponge slowly but surely creeping out between the headlight and the screen. I think I'll have to pop the screen off and squeeze it back up. Anyone else have this problem?

Are you sure you're not keeping it somewhere really wet - that stuff only grows in the sea

Looks great HR. Nice wheels -what are they and what's your carrier/rack arrangment?

Cheers. They're the forged OZ's from a Tuono. The rack is a Givi one and clips in at the rear grab rail and just in front of the exhaust mounts. I've got an old massive monolock box that takes two lids. In the sack is my rollmat, tent and camp chair and that is secured with a bungy on each side.
