is my fault why he is here
I said we would make him welcome - and the none aprilia owners would love another none aprilia owner
I did point out that the rest of us sensible people would just convert him to the merits of the falco but....
his firestorm is not what you would call standard.... it has been fettled a fair bit so he really has the potential to play with a falco :)
Joe is also the poor sod who was pillion with me to belgium a few years ago - and he lived ....
Joe was also aware of operation turnip.....
now he is getting the beers in, I will have my normal evenings amount please joe - and wouldn't you love to go quaffing with me again?
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

... and when you've got that one you can start saving for the remaining three and twenty to complete the recipe.
Should make a good alternative to the usual fare of sandwiches you push out.
Oh, welcome Gaggenau - another of Pete's swamp-dwellers then !
While the bar's open I'll have a pint - to show now ill feeling to our web-footed friends out east, I'll have a pint of Abbot please.

....and another WELCOME!!! Gentelman Jack please. Watch that VTR of yours - there's a well known Falco mod to fit a VTR stand in place of the cream cheese Aprilia one

If you find your bike on a couple of bricks, you'll know 'The boys' have been around!!
The ride is the reason ........ the destination is just the excuse.

Greetings Joe. Welcome aboard.
I am one of those with a little piece of VTR fitted. I don't believe them when they tell me it is the best bit of one
Pint of Wherry or 2 please.

A good precaution would be to always park next to a Gixer - the stand on that is an even more attractive proposition.
