Who was it - Silver Falco, Scotland A93 Monday 16th August

#1 Post by TreeTops » Mon Aug 23, 2010 11:48 am

So... own up. There I was on my bike just entering the A93 from Cray ready to ride up over Glenshee and on to my overnight stop in Braemar when along comes the rumble of a Falco...

Not a wave, not a nod, nothing....





... OK I was on my push bike so it might have been difficult to tell that I'm an ex-Falco owner ;)


Lovely roads up there in Scotland, just a shame I didn't have a motor to propel me along them.

OK, I'll admit it........ T'was I on a sneaky day off work (ssshhhh, don't tell the boss (or the missus)). :smt003
Just a wee run up from Perth to the cafe in Braemar for a bacon roll and a cuppa.
Crackin' scenery and had the road mostly to myself, tho those poor cyclists I passed could do with getting a engine :smt019

Or a tow up the hill...

Spotted an RSV in Braemar later that evening at the chippy on the corner. Didn't see many other bikes other than GS's when we climbed the Lecht road the following day, then again, it pissed it down with wind as we climbed up there.

Might have to get the Mille MOT'd and take a run round Scotland, some of the roads were absolutely cracking.

Yep. God's country, closely followed by Yorkshire IMO!
I think we have a few Falcos north of the border. I saw an Edinburgh posting about a rare green one over on t'other forum. We have dyzio in Aberdeen, we had Edinburghfalco but he seems to have gone AWOL after borrowing my solar charger (:smt001) and there's me, plus the ones joecrx mentioned. That makes 7? Probably a fair percentage given our population.
