Soon to return

Evening all :smt003 (unless you are in upside down land)

After a very long break from 2 wheels, I am looking forward to getting another bike, and it looks like it will be back to the Falco, unless a very nice Tuoldo should appear in September :smt017

Have to wait a few more months though, always away from home at the moment so haven't got time to sit down and breath. This time I will be looking for a fast coloured frame :smt003 and taking a slightly different route in the mods department. :smt002

Nope, not an Aprilia this time. I've stayed with the silver coloured frame, downsized the engine, increased the maintenance costs, and gone for a smaller Italian bike instead. Standing by for the usual comments, but I thought I would get a 749S as it is just down the road from me and comes with loads of nice goodies thrown in too :smt003

What it does mean though is I can wait out for a decent Falco to come along next year to get stuck back into :smt017
