Doggone it, I'm in the WildBlue penalty box for overuse of my economy satellite link till May 1, but I'll have a look at it then.

Until then, I'll just have to imagine the thump thump thump - I rode one once and still remember it ....

Nice ride.............no w if it had any sound that would have made it even nicer.  I noticed all the controls & rear view mirrors are identical to our `71 Ambassador we used to have.  :)



Doh, didn't check the volume setting on the video.  :D   Very nice.  I like where the camera was mounted.  ;-T

Check your 'mute' button AZ W.  There is a sound track, engine clatter and exhaust.

The Nuovo Falcone is a very entertaining machine to ride.

I took mine out today for a 200+ mile ride to a vintage bike show and I really enjoyed the day.

I made a couple of jaunts on the Interstate and had no problem running 65-75 MPH. That thing just purrs along.

Had to watch it again, battery dead on my bike.  You are really good at those videos.

There's nothing like the sound and feel of that big thumper motoring down the roadway. It's a relaxing beat not captured by other machines and the Falcon jumps to the head of the fun factor line of many more sophisticated, modern bikes.

Another key to the NFalcon experience is that heavy flywheel. You can see from Nick's video how the machine just trucks right over and through any terrain submitted to it.
