Welcome

And he is not originally from Norfolk - more hair lip, humpback or anything else found in the Norfolk gene pool

I wonder if hanna's hump has merely slipped?

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...

Oooh cheeky! Before I get started róse for me please...

Right rant time, my hump is currently still damaged and I still blame darling Pete!!! I may have a bump at the moment but wahoo I can still sit comfortably on my bike, only issue being leathers don't fit and can't quite reach the handle bars so easily.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Hi and welcome :smt003






mind you, I don't think I'd be recommending a Falco quite so soon after passing your test

Welcome Craig.
I'm sure if you know the nursing staff, you'll know all about the crazy lot on here.
The Falco is some bike to start off with, take it steady, it could surprise you.
Hope the test goes well.

I'll have a pint of the Old Peculiar please.

I have suggested to craig that as soon as he passes his test he does some advanced training.....

Welcome Craig. Enjoy the Site, be careful of Pete/Paul/whatever he's calling himself today and his ideas with regards improving the Falco..
