    I'll keep it brief Dave, because its something I'm working on.....

    No keys yet. I've replaced the ignition switch with a spare and have a locksmith looking for keys to match the original switch.

    The Nuovo Falcone is fine - it was just a fuel lock and some crud in the jets. All part of learning its tricks and pleasure. Before it quit, it was running nicely at 55-60, so it will happily keep up with traffic on the roads I ride. That pleases me no end, as it means long trips to remote places are definitely a possibility. Can't wait 'till spring.

    PS We must call it the 'Nuovo' Falcone (or NF). The Falcone is another animal altogether - and considered a real classic.

    Hey Nick, have you considered placing a "Lost" ad on the Kijiji site? Maybe the guy's having a hard time finding you?

    Thanks Mike. Yep, I did for a while. If they turn up, great. But if not, I've already moved on.

    Well that is nice to hear of a simple fix. Simplicity has it's benefits!
    The nice thing about a single....you don't have to figure too long as to which carb to tackle first.
    Look forward to hearing it putt along this spring some time.

    I don't suppose anyone is heading to the Picton area in the near future? Nothing important, just a Kijiji find that isn't worth a dedicated trip down to the county (at least until the weather warms up and I can ride!)

    You could be in the Alps in that shot. :lol3

    Must be nice to have a bike with proper "mudguards".

    Mexico, flogging a quad, then knocking back margs.

    Looks like you had fun. :thumb

    It's a hard life - I hope you're having a great time. :1drink

    Satisfying- now that the bike's running as it should.

    Saw a big sport tourer (Connie?) heading up Ct Rd 10 towards Westport just as I was coming out of Holmes Road. Beautiful day for riding!

    Tim, glad you were able to get out - it was such a lovely day. Yep, my driveway's the worst part too. What's your son's bike - I can't tell from the back?
