on the plus side at least the bike is upright on top of the grass and not ploughed into it

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

I think it only does that at 60 mph....
(I did notice on the ride out that everytime we came to a corner with a grass verge, the bike did veer towards it.....)
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...

Last time i saw a falco do 60mph flat out was a black one at mallory

Tolerance will be our undoing.

I think those RAC flat-beds are restricted to 60 - so it won't have been able to go any quicker

Even on a flatbed, it's still upright.....

That would be easy, might i point out the bike was rock steady at 70MPH

I was going to bid on Petes previous bike but I thought it might not be the best idea
