Wouldn't the safest colours be the ones on plods bikes and the same layout.

Just change the word Police to something like Polizia, which should cause enough confusion and avoid you being prosecuted.

After all its okay to to use a false flag up until you fire a shot.

Sadly, some people's Falcos are just not all they are cracked up to be:

.... no colour = no light emitted of any frequency .... which may be OK for bikes that do not have modifications to run all lights at the same time coupled with retina-burning HID conversions. With all that extra illumination, this particular Falco must be an absolute dog!
Oooohh.... gettin' persnul now Andy :smt018 Actually, I'm :smt003 'cos personal arguments are always a sign of envy and you have, unwittingly, proved the case for Black :smt041 However, if nothing else, I am magnanimous in victory so I happily conceed that Bronze is 3rd fastest :smt019 Tee hee Heee

Yeah - well you know I've always liked your Falco Tweaker .... so close to perfection .... and it's not your fault that the year they made it, they hadn't got round to refining it through the tasteful application of Bronze over parts of the black ... but eventually Aprilia sorted that out !

I would make some comment about the inadequacies of those who need to have the "fastest" bike just to keep up but there are too many of you that will remember me running tail-gunner on our last ride-out. .... trouble was I prefer a boat to a bike in those conditions ..........

Aye, well..... some of us need a fast bike as we have to travel twice the distance of everyone else when we forget our 'Personal effects' at cafe's :smt009
The ride is the reason ........ the destination is just the excuse.

Unfair, we did wait for a bit, well until Bigun's oil slick looked like it was about to become an environmental hazard and we all absorbed a few more gallons of water.

Yeah - good point Dale - we did have Bigun laying a trail for Dave to follow - easy to tell if you went off track - your tyres would begin to grip again .... well as much as they can in any river - yet still detectable when you've been used to riding on a film of 10-50 (or whatever he was running) ....
