Hi Scoosh - and welcome

Glad you made it on to here - and sorry for the delay you had in getting your registration approved.
Unfortunately our background checks have been taking a bit longer since the issues over tapping German leaders' phones - our pipeline through to Prism keeps getting interrupted ..........

Anyway, good to see you've introduced yourself to the Falco faithful first - now get up to Sam's Bar, open a virtual tab and tell us about yourself and your bikes over a couple of pints.

Welcome scoosh :smt006
There are a lot of tips and a massive amount of knowledge about your recent purchase on ridersite.
scan through the forum at your leisure, and tell us about your bike. And of course your credit rating :smt023

Hello :smt006
The best use of this crap weather is fettling the fine steed, look at sidestand and rear shock, if you have standard items then start there.
Sad battery syndrome can cause issues, its now too late to do any work so I'll have a large Stella please !

Hi Scoosh. You'll get used to the Black/Red/Silver/Blue/Rust ones are fastest thing. And the Yellow ones being cast as the pantomime villain. But I like them!
