Falcotography

#1 Post by Falconihlist » Tue Aug 12, 2014 11:48 am

As some of you know I have been doing a little bit of a sideline with the old camera. Should a suitable date in the calender appear, what's the consensus on trying to get a Falco meet set up somewhere in the middle of England this year?

Any and all Falco's, even the ones that have modified fairings (the more the better) :smt003

There are a few meets pencilled in - Ponderosa, Buxton, there's also the Aprilia Performance open day on 7th September. Might be worth tying in with one of these?

You might need to define "middle of England"? for us northeners, that's most places south of Stafford...

That would be middle of England to me. Griff's open day could be a good excuse. Would have to have a look to see a suitable location nearby worthy of a chaos of Falco's not being photo bombed by other bikes.

Isn't the middle of an object always in the same place and not relative to your position :smt017

Unless we'd like a debate on quantum theory?

If I recall, the centre is close to Meriden.

I think you'll find the orbital centre of England is High Wycombe, it may be my weight, it maybe the shear number of women circling me, we may never know.

I thought it was a village outside brum they even had a stone to say so... As an aside that is why Madrid is the capital of Spain because its in the middle
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.

Central geographically, or by population dispersal?
