Starting the bike up

#1 Post by Gio » Sun Mar 30, 2008 9:13 pm

Maybe it should be in ARS but I like to share.

Started the Falco up today in the garage after 8 weeks of no movement.

OMG bliss :smt003

It made a sort of dunk, dunk, noise then coughed, then cleared its lungs, fecking fantastic the roar.

I really must try and get a proper sound file done, it makes a Ducati sound like its suffering asthma.

Sound files never come out well. Theyre always muffled by the recording , the computer or the speakers of the other person's pooter..

The best way to listen to it is to ride it as often as you can!
It really does sound a lot better outside the garage! :smt005
