Welcome weasel, sounds like you have a pretty well modded bike there. I believe there is a sticky thread telling you how to post pictures, one of the mods will be along soon to tell you for sure.

Hi there Weasel Spice :smt006


Welcome to Ridersite :smt003


Hopefully the new Falco will fare better than the previous one. New one sounds good and sounds as though you know your way around them pretty well too.

Welcome...

Always nice to have a new spares source (oops, new members I mean :smt002 ) from 'Up Norf'...

Only saw a red Falco flying down the A19 yesterday nr Middlesboro.

Time to wake mine from its slumber, I think.

Welcome, good sir!

I'll have a bottle of Maxwell's Minotaur Reserve Shiraz, thanks!
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.
