Maybe it was Phil Shilling who once said: "A bad motorcycle is worth nothing. A good motorcycle is worth whatever you have to pay to get it." I would say this bike fits in the latter category.I Hope you got a deal on it ?

ah.... well? I don't know really, I paid $5k cad for it. in this market, that would have bought a V7. probably not a VIII, and not a perfect bike, but a slightly rough VII maybe. that would obviously be a vastly superior motorcycle...I Hope you got a deal on it ?
I‘d certainly say that’s not bad at all..ah.... well? I don't know really, I paid $5k cad for it. in this market, that would have bought a V7. probably not a VIII, and not a perfect bike, but a slightly rough VII maybe. that would obviously be a vastly superior motorcycle...
it's certainly the cheapest nuovo falcone I've ever seen for sale in Canada, and it's the only militare model I've ever seen for sale. so, I wanted one, and this was the one - literally - that was available. compared to shipping a bike from Europe, it's an absolute bargain!
I've been down to one bike for a long time now, my beloved Breva 1100, ever since I changed careers and went through a period of significant poverty building things back up again. for a long time I couldn't even afford insurance or gas, and so I pedaled my bicycle everywhere!My sister, the oldest of us 3, flew into Detroit this last Friday on her way to 2 weeks in Jordan. She had a 8 hour layover so I rescued her from DTW and we went out and about in Dearborn Heights for lunch and sweets.
During our discussion, my flock of motorcycles came into the discussion. As I have heard many times over many years, she couldn’t resist telling me “you can only drive 1 at a time my brother”.
I politely smiled and reminded her that I had cut back from 21 motorcycles when I lived in San Diego, to a fractional 8 here in Ohio.
She groaned and rolled her eyes.
I outstretched my hand as I touched her lovely purse, as repeated to her “you can only carry 1 at a time, Imelda…”. I then deliberately pointed to her matching shoes! (Her purses and shoes collection is in a word…STAGGERING).
She grumbled something under her breath and we switched topics.
Point made…
I say, if you want it, can afford it, and it brings you joy, buy it!
I will continue to acquire other motorcycles in my life…and guitars!
Indeed! Welcome back, and thanks for the update photo. Riding one is fun, try racing one when you've never been on one before. Reverse foot shift and race pattern, left side brake!hi guys! long time!
I'll write a longer post when I have time, but for now, behold..
ha yea I bet, I'm still trying to train my brain to the foot controls, not so easy when I ride the Breva half the timeIndeed! Welcome back, and thanks for the update photo. Riding one is fun, try racing one when you've never been on one before. Reverse foot shift and race pattern, left side brake!
Now that separates the boys from the crazy.... and crazy is goodIndeed! Welcome back, and thanks for the update photo. Riding one is fun, try racing one when you've never been on one before. Reverse foot shift and race pattern, left side brake!
It will become second nature to you... when I got on the Benelli SS250 or Falcone, the sound and character / soul induces the switch automatically... everything you do is deliberately... feeling and listening...ha yea I bet, I'm still trying to train my brain to the foot controls
I always go for both and obviously favoring the front...front brake, so it's important in traffic to use the rear!
