Thanks for the welcome. :smt001

Recently bought the black falco mentioned here

https://www.ridersite.com/viewtopic.ph ... ht=shipley

I wanted the silver one and set off to get it twice at the end of October, but the traffic on the M6 and the distance between South Lakes and Swanage beat us into submission both times. By the time I had chance to go again I had missed it.

Only an hour drive to Shipley so ended up doing a deal there. Got the bike fully serviced with 12 months Mot, new battery, new chain and sprockets and with almost new tyres.

I have just done the wiring to and from the rectifier and a few other little wiring jobs.

No doubt I will have a list of questions shortly about other jobs to do :smt017

Welcome to the forum Wally :smt006

That looks a nice looking bike. A few extra's on there already.

Looks like a pair of motad venom cans. They sound lovely. And the belly pan is an aftermarket item too. Looks nice with the red and black colour scheme.

The side stand looks like the original aprilia item. These are not good.
