Just in case there are Falco riders that don't look at the general Aprilia stuff, I've posted up about the Club Aprilia Day 2008 HERE

Visit the link again ..... there's updated info

We're back and we're cold, bit of tedious ride back, but we beat the rain and the dark. Sat in my comfy chair with a beer now so all will be good soon.

Twas nice to meet a few more of you, even that bloke on the yellow one

Shame on the rest of you for not turning up!

I'm sorry, I couldn't borrow the Falco from my son as we were to busy today.

Come to Norfolk at the end of August and I think I'll be on a Falco then

No pics from us I'm affraid, but I notice D-Rider had his camera with him.

Who did I meet?

D-Rider
His Nibs
Oscar Pinch
Yellow Duck
And the bloke who's name I can't rember with his missus on the back who was interested in the Monster 620.

There was also a silver Falco parked with a yellow Daytona 600 as well, but I didn't get to meet the rider, so I've no idea who that was.

Who was I talking to that had the Falco with the high bars??

Yeah took a few pics (not so many though) - I'll post them up later.

Another Falco rider to mention that we met was Apriliathehun (from the ClubAprilia forum) ..... maybe he'll finfd us on here too.

Was a good do .... but would have been better if more had turned up .... I think the ARS Falco Riders made up at least 25% of the crowd listening to the bands (who were very good) .... which may not sound that bad until you realise that the ARS Falco riders who listened to the bands were just Keith and me.

P.S. Hope that tyre held up Keith and you got home OK.

Thanks, D-Rider.

I stopped on the way and pumped it up properly. Got home fine but it was a different kind of trip to my usual. Kept it pretty steady and bought myself a new pump today. Will have to get a new tyre as soon as I can sort the logistics.

Yes it was a prety good do, could have done with a few more people to aprreciate the band etc. Highlights for me was Nooj's bits and pieces and some guy with very soft hands......aparently.

And no I don't have pictures.

I resemble that comment (apparently).

Being identified as one with soft hands is embarrassing enough but I must point out that the identifier was not Keith but one of the girls from the village

look - I've been working on the bike and got a lot of degreaser on my hands and have dried them out a lot with grease removing hand cleaner ... so I nicked a bit of the wife's hand cream to get a bit of moisture back .... this explanation isn't helping is it? .... I'm digging a big hole ..... I'm going to shut up now ......

I'm discretion personified.

I didn't say who had soft hands or how the village girls got to notice.........

Did you drop in on the Yaxley flower show on the way home ??

Oh, and BTW, NO

Nooj · #12 Post by **Nooj** » Thu Jul 17, 2008 8:17 am

Lets have some pics then!

D-Rider · #13 Post by **D-Rider** » Thu Jul 17, 2008 9:38 am

Yeah - not had time yet - every night this week taking my son driving (his test is this afternoon) and then doing whatever jobs need doing.

Maybe I'll get a chance tonight or tomorrow

Cheers Sam ..... but he still failed - totting up on not using mirrors (he was livid cos he says he was using them).
I have told him he needs to make it obvious and knock the mirrors a bit off so he has to move his head .... but do kids listen?

Got to do his theory test again now as he left it so long!
