Effectively replacing the GTV500 as Moto Guzzi's premier road-going sports bike, the Falcone was introduced in 1950 (though its predecessor lived on as the softer-edged Astore until 1953). Born of a golden era for the Italian manufacturer (Guzzis won the 250cc World Championship twice between 1949-1952 and then took the 350cc title every year from 1953-1957), the Falcone has since become regarded as one of the world's 'most romantic bikes'. Characterised by its bright red livery and air cooled flat single-cylinder 500cc engine (complete with 'bacon slicer' flywheel guard), it derived its constant mesh gearbox design from the firm's Dondolino road-racer. Reputedly capable of some 85mph, its low-revving power delivery makes for a friendly ride,and randy girlfriend
Nice picture there I am not going to beat that.

Thats just its way of making sure you are checking it over on a regular basis
Book Description
The Vincent in the Barn tells forty such stories--tales of motorcycle hunting dreams come true. From Ducatis in basements to Vincents abandoned in sheds, Harleys in barns to Brit bikes moldering behind urban garages, these are the stories that fuel every motorcyclist’s fantasies. The only difference? They’re true.

Check the bike - trade in GF for newer model
Brian most likely haz a couple of 'em long lost under canvas tarp out in the shed.
If he has, he's a lucky man
If he can remember how to get to the shed he's lucky.....
Cheeky b*gger!Can just about remember where it is, but it takes a long time to get there nowadays!
More seriously, we have a guy up here (about 12 miles from this house who has quite a few Vincents and HRGs...he is about 80 now and still rides these bikes. He is like a small jockey...about 5'1 or 2" weighing perhaps 8 stones. Yet he rides all over the place on big Vincents and HRGs. They are great bikes...no frame as such and a very well engineered piece of machinery.
