Went on the New Brighton Easter Egg Run on Sunday and spotted four other Falco's, two with Renegade high exits.......most i've ever seen in one place but there were thousands of bikes there, so the odds were pretty good.

Saying all that I have to ask: has all Falco owners moved to Rochester/Gillingham/Chatham area? I've not seen any Falco around here for a year or so, and this weekend I've spotted three: yellow, black and red one. Who the hell was that? I thought I was the only Falconeer in the village :smt003


Maybe his bike felt lonely and so he went touring to see if they could find a kindred soul :smt001

BTW I've yet to see Styliz(sp) in Chertsey, or any other Falco, I think he's a figment of the mind :smt085
My base office is in Chertsey, but I haven't been there in a year. Should be back this year though so keep an eye out for a blue one.
I will indeed, you could pop round and have a coffee/tea/strong drink if its during the week (lunchtimes best) :smt003 Cos I've normally finished work for the day :smt005

lunchtime rideout, that would brighten the day up

I'd like one of these jobs that finish at lunchtime, as long as it doesn't start before 8am

I saw a bloke in gold leathers on a metalic pink Falco heading south on the M1 in South Yorkshire today :smt009
Hope he kept going south. :smt038
South of France might be OK.
Don't own up if it was one of our lot. :smt018

Please tell me you've been drinking ..... that could rival the Wizard of Oz RSV in the bad taste stakes ......

Is it just me, or is the position of the fuel filler in the bottom picture rather suggestive?

Me drunk? Don't touch alcohol, although I do occasionally drink it. Seriously though silver leathers would have gone much better with the pink bike than the gold outfit.
As it was rapidly heading south from Yorkshire, I thought Gio might have done his first mods to the Falco and been up to show F9 the result. Hence now heading south very fast. He did say he liked the pink bands on the wheels.
Nice RSV, really cute :smt010 , thought this only happened to cruisers and bandits.
