Hello to you all out there, Just wanted to see if anybody has done a track day with a Falco. As I'm thinking of doing one with mine. Anything I should know or look out for?[8D] Tim

Hi Tim, Just suspension setup and tyre pressures. At the end of each session you might find that the standard rear shock get a little "spongy". Don't know when you last have done it but it might be a good idea to replace the brake fluid. Nothing else comes to mind. Trust you enjoy the day![:)]

Thinking about going to Mallory this year, I'm going to have my suspension looked at before I go 'cos I don't trust my setting-up skills![^] Loui Dude!

I want to see if they will let me strap a digital video camera on the bike too for some on board footage (of me throwing it down the road!?). I shall post any problems if i get them. Rhys

Hi Gents, Well have done the track day with the Falco, all i did was dropped the tyre down to 30 psi. All i can say is what a bike the brakes were spot on as was the bike. the drive out of clearways corner was as good as it get. Will be doing another. The tyres i am running on are Dunlops 208 RR front and a 208 on the back. and they are spot on for the Falco.[:D] Tim
