Evenin' all

#1 Post by Karmakanik » Sat Apr 01, 2017 8:57 pm

Evening all,
I recently saw the light and got meself one of them thar Falcos. It's pretty standard but still bloody good fun! It's clear that there is a long and winding upgrade path ahead but I quite like doing things incrementally and enjoying the improvements for a bit before bolting the next shiny bit on.
Provided I don't break it, I'm booked for the Le Mans motoGP in May so hope to have most of the important mods done by then.

See ya at the bar!

Well, didn't break it today either and found that fine tuning the tyre pressures is allowing me to get me pegs closer and closer to the tarmac!
No mean feat as I'd met up and was riding with a couple of mates on Harleys!

Hello and welcome, if the pegs are getting closer to the ground take the hero blobs off.

It's a question of taste...

You'll certainly need a few upgrades ... great as it is, the Falco might struggle against some of that other MotoGP stuff you'll be racing against .....
