Back again for the 1st time

#1 Post by efrizz16 » Sun Nov 24, 2013 6:00 am

[img]Wanted to introduce myself. My name is Eric. I'm from across the pond and the proud owner of a beautiful (if I do say so myself) 2003 red and black Falco. Joined awhile back, but was inactive. As I'm sure a few of you know the Aprilia scene over here is not nearly as strong as it is overseas. Thissite and sites like AF1 are my main resource for all kinds of info, knowledge and from time to time a great deal and a good laugh. So hopefully I can pick a few of your brains and maybe give so idvice myself alone the way. Thanks! Below is a link the my bike.

Hi Eric

and welcome to rider site

please do ask questions etc and I am sure you will be fine....

the site is not just about falcos - hobbit has a mille for example, nor is it about aprilia's - Bobbi has a wine fuelled trike..... it is how ever a very friendly place with a lot of information

(I am certain you know how to use the search facility, but if uncertain just ask and Andy will do all your searches for you....)

finally, enjoy the site - I doubt we will see you at a meet but you never know


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...

Welcome - and nice looking bike! We never officially got that colour scheme in the UK, but a couple of grey imports have managed to slip through. Isn't that the one with the 'Zorro' stripes?

Oh I dunno earlier incarnations of RiderSite had several visitors from 'over there' !

Welcome to the asylum. :smt001

Yep GP Racer. Originally had the Zorro stripes. When I did the belly pan the side panel had so scratches on it so I pulled em off and painted them gloss black.
