Several of us were featured in MCN a few years ago when they ran a piece on the Falco.

The fame didn't go to my head as I already had an over-inflated opinion of my self-worth.

Lets see if they get my name right this time...


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...

I wouldn't have thought there was a lot of room for error in fat git :smt017
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

The "Darkside" got featured in "Ride" last year in a general article on Falcos, just a picture of the bike, as it's prettier than me.

Yes I had similar for my MCN feature. They printed a picture of some random bloke with my comments.
I maintain it was due to me not sending in a picture until well after the deadline ..... others prefer to believe it was due to the photo of me not being deemed sufficiently aesthetically pleasing (they may have a point)

Yeh, the other bloke was prettier than you!

Having said that most of us have bikes that are much more worthy of a photograph.

There are some really nice bikes on here.

Getting back on track .....

For any that do respond to MCN, PLEASE be sure to mention AprilaRidersite
(yes - on this occasion do go for the Aprilia Ridersite rather than Ridersite alone as it will have stronger appeal in this context).

The web address to give is www.apriliaridersite.com (which takes you straight to the Aprilia Ridersite forum pages).

Well, I DID mention that this place has a wealth of Falco knowledge, but they seem to have edited that bit out.

I'm guessing they couldn't refuse my sexy face. :smt003
