actually - this was a yorkshire grooming - do you have any memories of being licked by whippets?


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...

I don't remember any pink hats but there was a lot of whippet licking involved. Well... if the dry mouth is anything to go by.

I was initially confused by the slipper question, I actually started googling slipper types so I could give a proper answer when it hit me: that bastard is calling me a grandad!

I can't blame him, the bike does seem to appeal to the older gent. Alas, I bought one because I can't afford another 916 and wanted a V-Twin that would tour.

P.S. I got excited by the mention of Jura and bought a whole load of that, so I'm no longer taking requests, you're all drinking hooligan's single malt.

What side of the town do you live, I'm in the west end of Newcastle, I have barely seen another Aprilia let alone a Futura, I not seen another Falco in the two years I have had the bike.

You need to get out more Tony.
If you'd headed down the A1 in June last year, then turned east at Bawtry for a while, you would have eventually found Willingham Woods, just outside Market Rasen. On the afternoon of 29th of June last you would have found this lot -

They even included the odd Fut Fut

Which was organised by the BlinkMaster himself!

As Blinkey said, you need to get out more!

Hi all,

Welcome Dan. Enjoy your new vocation in life ;) Tony, how come you haven't seen an aprilia around here in 2 yrs! Never mind, with or without bike, I venture up the hill on a sat for my brunch in the green cafe around midday :)

Then I go into M & S and spend 50K in my head......

Even at M&S prices you can get an awful lot of pairs of socks and pants for 50K !

Welcome to the forum by the way.
Thanks,

I'm in the East End on Chilli Road. I've actually seen one or two Futuras and a load of Tuono's about but never a Falco. It's be nice to see one in the flesh as I had a hard time deciding between the Fut and the Falco when I wanted to swtich to a sports tourer.

Ah yes, I know it. Do you ride to work? It's only just starting to get cold now. December's been unusually warm.
