If you organise a weekend visit with burgers, bacon and brews, you could probably tempt some of the more mechanical falconeers to your aide very cheaply..

They have to be kept nice and safe

...so is Hanna's the fairly stock looking one advertised on MCN? As for preservation of the Falco species - green or otherwise - perhaps Falco's are generally too precious to be 'wasted' on such as me? Pity, because riding the thing almost everyday for the last 3 years has rendered me somewhat addicted: right now I can't imagine buying anything else.

Pretty sure it's not Hanna's - one of the other few.

..... and yeah - we're not planning to banish you from the Falco riding fraternity

Mutters into his beer

No hanna's is not for sale - I like to keep donor bikes close to hand

The green ones are nice - not a fast colour, but better looking than the rest of the slower colours....


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...

No need for the chain key - your wheels are standard with crap Tyres on them....
