Falco today clocked 50,00o miles in a suitably celebratory fashion.

Thanks to an errant speedo sensor it has probably done 2 or 3 thousand more. This year thanks to the BM, its not seen the usual winter miles so it was great to see those land mark numbers finaly tumble.

Cheers!


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...

Buggers! Mines just 26 mile short of 40,000 mark and was going to post a similar self congratulatory post on reaching that milestone. So much for that now. However it has now cheered me up slightly and given me renewed confidence that me and my trusty steed will make it through my recently organised Euro trip in the summer. :smt012
