Woke the Falco up today

Put some electric and petrol in and off it went.
It's going to blow up now or something isn't it?

Same here - or rather first ride - did a few twiddles on it yesterday. Pleasant and uneventful, apart from discovering a bike shop in Worcester that can service Aprilias - has all the diagnostic kit, incl. the systems that replaced the Axone.

Did you wear your hat mart?


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...

Took her out today for the first time in months. A few miles in and it started snowing a little, still a bit chilly lol

I forgot how quick she was. The rumble was lovely :smt003 :smt003 :smt003
