    gave away my 01 Falco...

    To my brother!

    My brother got his license this spring and I got him a 2008 ninja 250R.. hell of a bike for what it has. Well after 5000 miles and a few road trips later he wants a bigger bike. Now, I have a 2004 Factory, 2004 Honda RC51 Hayden rep, and 2001 Falco that he sits on often and drams of riding.

    Well I found another 2001 Falco (black with the carbon cans) 6K and mille rear shock, bought it, and gave my brother my other Falco.

    It wil be nice to ride together and both have Falcos (the bike that got my into twins and off my 2003 R6). It also really felt good to share a great bike with someone else who can now know the feeling of a proper road bike.

    I look forward to reading and adding to this community

    wow your brother is a lucky lad.!!! you will have to remind him, as the guy who sold me mine did....."carefull its a bit of an animal!"

    BTW i worked in graham NC one time just for a weekend at south atlantic galvanizers. not bad for a limey eh! i got shown round raleigh by the enginner i was working with. i speak as i find and out of the texans, tenneseans and North carolinans the guys from NC were the most hospitable.

    Let me get this straight. You have already bought your brother an '08 Ninja 250 and you are now going to give him an Aprilia Falco? My older bro bought me a new lawn mower a couple of years ago for a house warming gift. What a cheap asshole. I'm going to show him this thread. That'll show him....

    I don't have a Brother, but if I did, I'd probably end up with the kind who'd think a knee in the nuts would be a good birthday present for me.

    Well it is a win win situation for both of us. He gets a bigger bike and now I will have someone to riding with me with equal power, and the coolness factor of not blending in with every other GSXR, Ninja, CBR and YZF (all fast bikes), and then pulling away from them out of the turns!!

    Nothing beats pulling into a bike shop and having the customers come out and ask where to get one of those Aprilias!!
