| Yeh I caught it...an original S plated model....they often forgot to blank out the reg Number....seems to have original tyres on it so methinks he doesnt use it much....and looks like a standard fuel injected model???..Was nice to see a Bimota on TV though...free advertising |

Yep, the guy who blanks out the number plate needs to try harder next time!
Couldn't work out what the other bike he had in the house was though? |

Just about to have a look at the Guy Martin thing now.
Sigma do a clutch for the oil cooled gsxr11 can that fit the water cooled engine in the SB6 ?

there was a bike in his lounge as well as the Kitchen - re-wound and paused to try and spy what it was - then had to endure my other half calling me sad 
can't believe it'll be the last time in the series he'll be having a cuppa in his kitchen, so eyes peeled |

I think the other bike is a 500bhp gixxer-based special he's built

On an odd note. I wonder why Guy is wearing a wooly hat with the Royal Marine Corps colours on it?

...bike sinks completely 30m deep. They pump the water out and it's working again. 2-strokes are simply amazing...

Ah.........my slight mistake when I caught an advert for it......He used a DRZ Suzuki 400.......So a single cylinder 4-stroke......but still a credible go.....managed 65 metres eventually before he sank going over the handlebars......again.
Used to have a KDX200 Enduro bike that I rode around Loch Lomond Many many years ago...used to ride into the lake and many river crossings...sinking it many times.........Pull the plug kick start the water out, dry plug and kick it back into life again...always worked...minimal electrics to go wrong....Bimota could learn a lot......always wondered why my gearbox oil was so milky all the time...darn thing kept going whenever I wanted it to though......... |
