hi Mike,
I know what you mean about the leg shields. I take mine off
my Militaire, then put them back on. I can't decide which I
prefer, although they are really handy in the cold and on the
long gravel roads I often ride.
200 miles is chicken feed for these bikes. They just keep
chugging along.
I take it your '600 miler' around Wales in the BSA wasn't in
one day. Now, that would be a long one, given the riding
conditions in the UK!
I think there may be one or two NF's in the South West - perhaps
others will comment.
All the best
Nick

Excellent new.
It's a different world on a Nuovo Falcone, but they definitely
grow on you. You won't be doing much overtaking - but you
probably won't care either.
I don't know if you saw it, but I just posted a little video of
riding mine in the 'Great Rides' section. Actually, there are
quite a few there..............

Can't find any fault in that surely this must have been said
before this is the most marmite bike I know and that's not a bad
thing
