Some more Bimota memorabilia turned up in the mail today. Thanks for the awesome packaging 2bims, it arrived safe and sound. Although I was uttering unpleasantries when trying to get into it

What could it be???

Great stuff Brian.......and I thought you may be uttering unpleasantries trying to open it....wanted to keep it dry and secure....and theres some free pipe lagging material in the middle for you.....use some small surgical scissors to careful cut away....and whilst youre at it....you can do your toenails at the same time.......

I have a framed DB1 poster. My mate imported Bimotas during the mid 1980s. When I saw the DB1 it was love at first sight. He offered me a special deal on a DB1 but with a young family, a single income, a modest wage and my wife & I both racing I just could not afford it. He gave me the poster which I framed & hung in a prominent location in our loungeroom. Each time my wife asked me if I needed anything at the shops, I would reply, 'Yes please. A DB1.' I would also sneak a DB1 onto her weekly grocery shopping list. I didn't relent and after many years and a better financial situation she said, 'If you can find one, buy it.' I found two and bought the better one; a low mileage example modified to DB1S specs complete with decals by the importer.

Maybe you can make use of the metal brackets i put on the cotton banner....its what I rigged up when we used the sign at the Mcr Bike show....the pvc one also can be "ironed" out flat with the careful use of a hairdrier....and whilst I doubt that you have need of one for your head...I'm sure the mrs will allow a temporary use of hers.......

Me, far too much.

Each time I bought a Bimota, I asked for a flag......... I know....... anyhow rather than take the one down from the mast they went inside and brought one out to me.

I also have a genuine Bimota dealers sign complete with fluorescent light inside. Along with many other "gifts", from the factory.

I know I am lucky!

One of the banners has a place in the shed. No room for the big banner until I have more walls
