Hi, new owner

#1 Post by jayboy » Thu Jun 11, 2009 12:14 pm

As title, will be a Falco owner by the weekend, and can't wait.

Had an RSV a short while ago, but she was too harsh to ride to work and back, plus I'd always wanted a Falco.

Nice to find a UK based forum for me to chat to you lot and ask questions of.

Yeh, welcome to the site, let us know some more about the bike when you get it and we can help you spend some more money on it!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I have mine over the last 5 years or so.
Had many bikes over many years, but the Falco is the best and most reliable I've ever had.
What more can I say?

Welcome aboard Jayboy.

Good choice of bike (naturally). Get some pics up in the gallery once you get it sorted.

Hi Jayboy - welcome to the forum :smt006


No real need to say "enjoy the Falco" when you get it - you will.
Having had an RSV you will know a lot of what to expect .... much the same but a bit more comfy (without being a boring sofa).
