Falco heading south

As I type this, my Falco is heading south to its new home in the Midlands. Having promised my wife that I would reduce my bike collection to one and feeling that the BMW is a better all rounder for me especially with its greater tank range when touring, I have, with some reluctance sold my Falco. However, I'm confident that it's going to a good home and I'm sure the new owner will fit in well with you lot. No doubt, he'll be along soon to introduce himself.
Apart from missing that V twin, I have to say that I'll miss the banter and constructive assistance on this forum which is probably the best I've come across. You guys seem to get the balance right; lots of technical chat and help, and lots of humour that never degenerates into personal slurs. I hope you keep it up and won't mind if I occasionally look in. I wish you all many safe and enjoyable miles.

Sorry to hear you've sold it Dusty but at least you've still got a bike. Remember Ridersite isn't just about Aprilias so you've no excuse not to stick with us.

Looking forward to the Falco's new owner joining in the fun ........

Thank you, gents, for the kind words but being nice to me just makes me feel worse! I admit to suffering major pangs of regret about this. However, it's done now so I'll just have to move on and see how I get on with the K12 as my only mount. It's certainly not a slow beastie and it does most things well but it just doesn't stir the soul like the Falco.

Coudn't agree with you more. I feel exactly the same way about my GS, a great bike and a great all rounder but after a year or so of owning it I just had to buy another Aprilia

Must be an "Italian" thing

Just how far south did it go anyway?
