I have owned both of these bikes I suspect you are getting lazy the triumph is just sat on

you have to ride falco
If you sell the falco you will come to regret it sooner or later I did.

..... so, Thumper, when are you getting another then? - there are some good bargains about.
Note for the more recent members .... Thumper was one of the most knowledgeable chaps on the original Aprilia Ridersite when I first joined it. I learned a huge amount about the Falco from his wise words (which I have regurgitated myself over the years .... in an attempt to look knowledgeable myself).
His wise words are indeed just that.
(Now Thumper, go and get yourself another one)

Will,
Personally I'm delighted you're able to hang on to the Falco. I loved that bike (and still do) I had some magic times riding that particular bike especially with my best mate who I sadly lost in 2009 so it will always be a special bit of kit to me and holds some great memories.
She's a keeper (but I didn't realise that at the time of course) so look after her
Thumper.............I notice you've moved? or did this happen ages ago and I've only just noticed

I've spent 50% of my life riding motorcycles, the rest I've wasted!

where abouts in norfolk??
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...
