Why do I get the feeling I just stepped into a turf war?

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...

Why am I thinking that nobody knows who is the chap in the picture .... (it's the chief scout .... now all you have to do is to find out his name and compare with the thread title .........)

The book was better than the flim.
But I still smile at, 'I'm here to kill your MONSTAH!'

I've got a set of the grills they're very, erm, grillish.

I think the Beowulf ones would be a lot more useful than the Bear ones

few years ago now prilliant and myself made our own....£10 sheet out of homebase/b&q siliconed the bottom mesh onto the bellypan and cut the mesh too fit into the rad grooves. once the bodywork on you never saw the edges and cost significantly less.

going do the same again whilst getting falco back on the road.

just a cheaper option and looks just the same
if you can't ride it....
OR take it too bed...

IT AIN'T WORTH HAVIN...

They do look good but, with the climate here in Scotland, my bike would be at serious risk of overheating if airflow's restricted. :smt083
