ABBA reforming Money Money Money

Despite all the times I have been told that they were gone for good it looks like they are back in business time to get your dancing pants on to celebrate ?

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

I've been seeing those stands sdvertised for quite a while now. Never realised the company had (allegedly) gone bust.
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

don't think it was abba - think it was multi pro.....


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...

Are they a rather complicated version of the Ulti Pro? (which I do have and which I understand are no longer made which is a shame as I think they are the most robust of the lot)

It was NWS that stopped trading, they used to make the Ulti-Pro (excellent stand) but Pyramid plastics bought them out for the fairing business and stopped making stands

So, all in all, we've yet to see Abba's Last Stand
(Perhaps they should re-brand as "Custer plc")

I guess in the competition for business between them and NWS, it was a case of The Winner Takes It All
