A Falcouno spotted in Cambridge outside the Jolly Scholar. (In fact just round the corner from my daughter's new student house)
It looked pretty sorted despite the rust.........

Ive seen a couple of falcos around the area but never seen the pilots to have a chat. A falcuono in the area? Bloody hell! I know we have a couple of rare breeds around here, but a Falcuono? And a rusty one at that?

Could have been me, I was in Cambridge in the afternoon parked outside an open fronted bar (on King Street I think, opposite Wallace Kings furniture shop which has a closing down sale). If it was it an 'Olympic bronze' version with Fuel cans & the Aprilia street fighter kit, I might have to plead guilty...what rust!!

Rust is the shorthand for Olympic bronze....
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...

If you put it up I'll let you know, I should be able to recognise the rusty old thing, but you may have to wait in suspenders, as I'm away for a couple of weeks.

You mentioned suspenders - think I just heard Andy falling off his zimmer...

I only just realised that black actually is fastest ... At being resprayed to a good colour or decorated with bling to distract you from the dullness of it
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
