nice work, and i don't mean destroying a Bellaria!


If you have to choose between half a YB4 subframe plus a complete Bellaria subframe or the other way round? no contest; I'm sorry to all Bellaria owners, but if any of them need a butchered subframe . .
I've got some other Bellaria parts as well- was just wondering how to turn them into useful YB4 parts : )

I'm looking foward to a ride on it myself, but I'll swop it for the Tesi for a few miles : )

Seriously planning Spa- not sure if I have to 'work' !
My friend Sam has a room for 4 people for the weekend which isn't completely full yet- so I expect to be able to spin over and stay at least one night . . .
I've got your number still- but I'll let you know as soon as things get more fixed.


No Tesi, I'm afraid - it's been sold Crying or Very sad
We are staying in Malmedy, nearer the circuit.
Is Sam the guy with the Guzzi? (hopeless at remembering names)

Sorry to hear that Gaz. Sure its right for you at this time as you seemed so passionate about it. Now, who is the lucky man ... Cranky?

No - not Ian - but its going to a very good home where it will be finished to the highest standard and used in anger. And I get to have the first ride!

I am really sorry to hear that you've passed it on- such a great project- you must have good reasons.
And I just saw a few more Tesi parts on 'bay- always think of you.
And I found a print out I made years ago of the bike as advertising for Regeneration Motorcycles- don't have the data though- low quality so no sense to scan it- I'll give it to you to pass onto the new owner when I see you. I think it must be from the Bimota Enthusiasts picture galleries . .

Sounds like my 'next job' has been postponed for a couple of weeks- so more time to get on with the YB4 and start on the DB2 cafe sprinter : )
squeezed in between building a new terrace and a garden shed !

Excellent article in the December 2013 copy, thought some of you might like to see some of the pictures that weren't used.
Only space for one.
Nice to see Andy, his dad and Nige in there too.









I even put the new discs on for extra shinnyness.

there's a couple more on the website too- don't want to clog the forum up
all the best
Ian

Hi Ian and Briggite....caught the article, miniscule that it was...but encompassed a good cross section of the Forum...which was ncie to see...they could save print on future articles by just saying "see Bimota Forum"..but I suppose that spoils the concenpt of their business...Good to see the YB up on wheels and shiney new discs...are the Repro Brembos, and if so where from? Same As Db2 and early Sb6, with large offsets for Oscom wheels..All the Best for Crimbo and the NEw year for you both

not exactly new Steve- they came off an SB7 a few years ago, but I did get the outer rings recoated, which looks very nice.
I've seen these discs avaialble from Menani for around about 250 euro each if my memory is still working.
Missed you on Sunday !
'til soon
Ian
