Mine was in the garage, with the front wheel out as I need a new tyre next week, but also saw a Falco in the same area.
Was out on the the old CBR Thou and passed an early red Falco on the A156/A1133 Gainsborough to Newark Road. It was heading towards Newark at about 3pm on the A156 between Gale Burton and Torksey. Don't suppose it was anyone on here?

You'd be surprised Ben!
The old bird can still boogey, specially on that road with lots of fast bends.
It was in the village just after Gale Burton (can't remember the name), just near the pub before the church. I was coming the other way, and you were going a lot quicker last time I saw you, (then again it was in a 30 limit today!).
I ride that road every week and not seen you before, you were coming over the hump bridge just outside Gainsborough on the way out from your place last time I saw you.


Did you seen this earlier thread back in August by the way ??

It wasn't me this time! I was knocking about on the back roads from markam moor past the power station...very quick and deserted B roads!

The missus dosen't ride so not me that time at Willingham either.

I had a nice run up to the milk bar last Sunday, then dry roads this sunday and slider scrapin' on the Walkeringham roundaout :smt003

Hope to see you out and about soon.

Yeh nice to get out on dry clean roads, winter riding at it's best.
Went out for just over two hours, got back and had no salt sludge on the bike and just a couple of tiny midges on the front, otherwise spotless!
Had a funny feeling that neither of the sitings was you!
Catch you sometime soon.
