Dan & his mate are brining the 'beast' on a trailer to 'webfoot land' on Sunday, so thanks for the offer.

It truly is webfoot land at the moment with traffic diverted through St Ives because of flooding, which can be a PITA in the morning & evening, I think Noah was out there on Tuesday!!

Welcome matey. You will not be disappointed by the Falco - best colour too.... and what a blooming bargain.

Enjoy

Still busy cleaning it up, quite a few siezed up, sheared, rusty or missing bolts & twisted brackets, one thread needed a of helicoil (rear cam box above exhaust), front bolt on front rocker missing & oil weep to go with it. No real problems to sort out, just needed a good service & clean up. Just trying to persuade the coolant into the engine, any tips, I see the book says squeeze the hoses but it hasn't worked so far, I think I'll boil it in a kettle first & see if an open thermostat helps ???

Should have it running again tomorrow. the Got it booked in for an mot on Thursday morning (April fools), really looking forward to riding it after everything that's been said about them, must remember not to get too excited & take it easy, at least to start with anyway!!!

If you're up and running by the 10th April, bring it over to me HERE, not too far from you.
