Another Scottish newbie joining the ranks...... I've been lurking in the background for a while and thought it was about time I came out in to the open. After a few Jap 600s I got a 2002 model Falco a couple of years ago. Always fancied the looks but was never sure about Aprilia reliability, but took the plunge after finding this site. So far bike remains standard - tho having seen the effect you lot can have on other owners credit ratings maybe i shouldn't have mentioned that!!!!! I have my eye on some cans and may go for the 15 tooth front sprocket at next service in a few weeks.

Anyhoo, was it one of you guys out on the Dukes Pass (riding Callander to Aberfoyle) at about 2.00pm today? I only ask cos I think I'd recognise you again by the rather startled/worried/terrified look you had as you came over the blind summit on my side of the road. Red Falco, no idea of plate. I reckon my Sprinter van would have felt it a lot less than you. I then had half an hour of trying to convince my wife that no dear, of course I'd never do such a silly thing, honest.

Welcome Panda.

and do you really expect anyone to admit to being there?

Yes, Welcome P&A

Glad you're now an ex-lurker.

So, who's the naughty boy then? .... can't say that we're a group of saintly riders that always abide by the letter of the law .... but blind summit, wrong side of the road ....

Until the guilty party owns up, we'll assume it's someone that's not found the forum yet ..... hopefully ....

Lucky you - many is the time I've been stuck in the office looking at the bike sitting all lonely in the car park. Perthshire is fantastic for the long way home tho - a 20 mile trip sometimes takes 3,4,5 times that.

Nope. Not guilty. At home, working on a car between the rain showers.Too chicken to be pulling a stunt like that,anyway!
