My tongue was firmly in my cheek but at least I now have to go to this Usergroup deliberately to flagellate myself with posts of that glorious V-twin, sublime handling and fettling fun. You're probably right, DRider, I should probably try to get another one. I'll tell Mrs Dusty.

Nothing wrong with having two falco's dude. One to ride whilst the other is being modified :smt003

I was working on my bike this afternoon and I saw hanna's bike.... Maybe just a little modding.....


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...

The tuono sprocket cover is cheaper than the rsv one

Exactly the same part but cheaper

Oh, it works out a BadgerPube - or a tad under 20 quid in real money

( I can already feel the Coventry love - just hope he doesn't do that Lady Godiva routine EVER again....)
