#1 Post by fatboy » Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:16 pm

Hi all, my beloved Falco has been stood for almost 2 yrs due to a legal dispute with those laugh every second guys at DVLA. So now I won and its time to pimp the ride ! I hear that some of you guys can fabricate stuff like rear huggers ect ?? If so would love to hear from you, Paul

Not sure who might do huggers but Willopotomas has the capability and equipment to do tail tidies .... though it's best if you're not in a desperate rush 'cos he's usually got a lot on .... that said, still tell him you're in a desperate rush ....

Glad you've resolved the dispute BTW

I do not make tail tidies but have posted a cheap and quick solution ..


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...

Old badger pubes pad could not deal with it - many folk were left devastated - indeed mr Martdude, 68 of no fixed abode claimed he was too scared to ever collect his pension again.....


David Cameron is happy with the outcome

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

From what I recall Aladin has been a bit free with his decades. I think Mart may only be a few years older than me .....

I don't believe he's in quite the same bracket as Howard and Methuselah yet

Erm... Your point is what exactly gramps?
.... that some of us don't need to fit sit-up-and-beg modifications and ultra comfy seats to our bikes due to their backs no longer being able to keep up with the game.
.... and while we're considering your comfort-aids, have you got that Stannah bike mounting system rigged up yet? - You really don't want to miss out on the good weather next year just because you can't get on the thing
:smt002

.... and less of the gramps .... my offspring haven't got round to perpetuating the family line (not actually sure they are brave enough to talk to members of the female gender TBH)
