Welcome :smt006

You won't need luck, just a lot of money for modifying :smt003
Tolerance will be our undoing.

Aye despite how good they are you will no doubt be sucked into the "no love its not bling its a safety enhancement" mode before too long
Welcome :)
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

Thanks for the welcome, having owned several ducatis recently, my wife is used to the 'safety' enhancements. I've got plans for a new shock & fork service, gabro chip, ceramic coated exhaust pipes in lieu of a belly pan etc.

Oz wheels are another good safety feature.

Welcome, get some pics up 👍

What made you go for a falco rather than another Ducati?

Welcome to the asylum. :smt003 :smt006
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Couldn't afford the insurance following the theft, so cheered myself up by getting another big twin cheap enough to buy with cash & insure. Appreciate the welcome everyone.
