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...

Oy NO!

Oh the shame I'm almost as embarrassed to have to contemplate the answer as to have to figure out how to explain it without reference to fried mars bars.

I think really at this point it might be best if our only known white boot wearer indulged in a bit of soul cleansing and confessed all :smt016
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

Here's an image for you, a brother of mine once possessed a white leather "bike" jacket with vivid red satin lining! It was always just WRONG :smt011 , but his real crime was that he wore it on his bike on more than one occasion, i can only thank the toerag with no taste that stole it at a party! :smt003 I've checked some posts on moving the bars and does sound straightforward enough, had not planned on front brake lines but probably not a bad idea for a 10yr old bike and since i had planned on overhauling the rear brake i may as well do the whole lot when glasgow turns into an ice rink!!

Don't forget the forum discount we get at Hel - it's very much worth having.

Hi Giles - that's great news. I just hope you don't want your wheels back. We've haven't managed to get together for a ride yet. Must try and do it if we get a fine weekend.

Hi Dave, yes we've only been here 18 months :smt005

All I've seen is your greenhouse :smt003

Give us a text if you fancy an hour out before the first gritters of the year. You might just hear me on the by-pass some days :smt004
