Where's the April 1 date on it ? Doesn't seem fair to create such a great hoax without even a little clue (other than the improbability of the engineering challenge and the fact there isn't enough distance from the last pair to the rear wheel JL
Or the complete impossibility of getting the ECU to talk to the GPS? Or the adjustable keeper that runs from the chin strap of his open face helmet to the handlebars? Or the initial inspiration being a six-pack of (consumed) beer? I suspect there's more than one joke in the technical specs too but I don't read Italian.
I'm just surprised you bothered to read that much of it! I gave up about half way through the first sentence.

My desk calculator makes those dimensions 2631cc Comp ratio a bit high, or is it a diesel? Four times the weight of the two cylinder version? Theo
A mate of mine, who bought a Le Mans 850 when they were new, has just bought a 1952 Falcone. Now waiting for it to be shipped from Sydney. Theo
In aus.motorcycles on Mon, 21 Apr 2008 07:37:25 +0800 At least its a proper one and not a Neuvo. Ages ago at a bike show in Adelaide a Falcone and a Neuvo Falcone turned up. One of them started his bike and heads turned at the "thump!<pause>thump!<pause>" sound. So the other started his and the syncopated beat was amazing. Zebee - who thinks lamp posts are too close together for a beat every lamp post, even at the average Falcone speed.
