Rexr - I've hear of Barrheed, I stay in Lanark but work not far from you in Govan docks.
 
Blinkey501 - its a peach of a bike and in fantastic condition with all the mods done :-))
 
Maybe we should have a Falco get together in Scootland :-))

Looks like we have quite a few Falco owners and admirers, if folk want to get together Cumbria is a good meeting point.
Hardknot pass is a great experience if you've never done it before. The last time I road it, 24 started and 21 finished !!! 3 offs on one outing, never seen anything like it :-/
