What a decent Chap!

#1 Post by furygan man » Tue Aug 10, 2010 4:46 pm

Finally got around to speaking to Griff today and as everyone says such an easy guy to speak to, spoke to him about the mods i was after and he said as i was only down the road to pop in with the bike so he can give it a check up and we can discuss the mods over a brew this Friday...looking forward to it!

...makes a change from some of the neanderthols that i've come across in the past especially for a newbie like myself :smt098

Griff is so cool he should have a falco


He is much respected by some of us old farts here


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...

Just got off the phone to him ..... warned him about you ......


He seems to think you are some innocent that bought a Falco and then we got to you and filled your head with endless modification tomfoolery ...... as if we'd do something like that .....

LOL and the fact that I've already asked him (seriously) whether he has any other RS250 spares will only add to it.


...... only don't scare him out of seeing whether he has the bits I'm after ....

His Aprilia Performance rearsets are nice, ask him to show you those in black.
