I do still have a pristine, low mileage (about 500) example myself, but unless I can wheelie all the way to Newark it won't be sufficient... :smt003

i am sure all are welcome :)

they can park with the yellow falcos....


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...

Sounds reasonable - start rolling in from 11ish - in good time for a spot of lunch at lunchtime

Woo hoo!

sounds good .... I'd like to get there in the dry if possible - if it rains a bit going home I can live with it.

That said, I'll be there whatever

I'll be there too - forecast is too bad. We may get caught in the odd shower but nothing like previous falco rideouts have experienced :smt001

See you about 11.30am

Not for me this time, too close to finishing the kitchen for a pass-out. Be up for the next one for sure

enjoy yourselves!

It looks like I might be able to get there after all, I don't now have to work this weekend and have managed to move some other stuff around.
If I do get there it won't be too early, but now hope to be there for around 12 ish, pretty confident, I'll see you there!
Hope it doesn't rain too much, I can still remember the rivers running across the road home in 2007, (brown flood water from fields really, but 6 or 8 inches deep flowing over the road!).
Fingers crossed!

I was hoping that we would be able to make it to the meet, but with no shock and no forks, it's a tall order (they're still at Revs Racing, being fettled). Short of sticking the Sachs back in and wheelieing there, we won't be able to make it.

Unless we turn up in the ex-AA van, of course...

Was hoping to be able to make it up with Mrs Willopotomas on the back.. But as always, funds have dried up and we're unable to make it. :smt009
