....to get the bike set up properly!
Just been for a gentle nimble around the local back roads. Met up with some young folks on their new this year bikes and proceeded to have some fun.
Now I am not a fast rider, but the falco is set up properly - and that makes all the difference. When they caught up with me at the local coffee shop they wanted to know what the falco was - and why they had been spanked through the twisties. They were shocked when they realised that my ten year old bike had out performed them.
Not one of them had had their suspension set up properly....
So - if you want to have fun, set the damn thing up properly!

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...
