He's getting sorted hopefully today with what they call "Meccano Scaffolding"....Going through airport security and metal detectors will never be the same again.....He's in good spirits though and has got his priorities set out on his White Board
He would like to add though "New LHS footpeg and Gear lever needed"....If anyone should ever come across such a thing for a DB10........ |

Just a quick update
Thanks to everyone that has passed on their thoughts and best wishes, especially to 2bims for his attention and selfless hospital visits. I am now home battered and bruised, 2bims and myself have checked out the DB10 and figured out the bike will probably be written off. That will give me the opportunity to restore the bike to its former glory. When I start the project I will with 2bims help start a picture documentary whereas I will probably be calling on help from all you guys in locating parts/spares
Once again I extend my thanks to all the well wishes I have received 🙏

No Probs Glen...Plus...How else was I going to get my Lambda sensor back without you being discharged from Hospital in a vertical position?....twas a pleasure getting to see so much of you...(Most of the time....)
Glen is now recovering in the lounge of his home....with new bed positioned in said lounge so that he doesnt have to climb the stairs so much.....A "nurse on call" bell system is still to be installed for when he needs attention from the able if perhaps not always willing Lol....She cant be going too soft on the Old codger.....AND....my "Grumpy Old Bimota owner Lives here" sign has found a new resting home above his headboard until he makes a fuller recovery....or at least loses the "grumpy" element of not being able to ride his stricken sickened Bimota subsides....Soz though Glen...the "Old" part is there to stay....
And....just so that he recalls whats wrong with him and why he needs time to convalesce .....Here's his chest Xray of 6 titanium rods and 36 titanium bolts holding his shattered rib cage together.....Which match his ProBolt titanium Disc and caliper fixing bolts on his Baby Bim

well...to answer as "best" as can be possible....and courtesy of PaulDB2 and the loan of his bible and photography skills...Thanks Paul........Numbers of "DB10's" actually produced by the Bimota factory.....of DB10's and DBX's.....although theres images floating of a DB10R....with ohlins front and rear.....so Bimota doing their usual game of using what ever parts they had or could buy with credit...as wheels vary from "tock" db5/6 wheels to Oz wheels...Ohlins rear or ExtremeTec rear...and Marzocchi forks with tin treatment of with DLC treatment.....And...DBX....with ohlins F&R....but maybe with black excel rims and talon hubs...or gold rims or silver spoked rims
33 NO. DB10's in Total according to Bible MkIII…...and at their height Bimota were exporting to over 65 different countries
16 No. DBX's in Total...according to same bible
And this is the DB10R with Oz wheels and different front forks and Ohlins Rear

| When you look at the gap between the horizontal cylinder and the front wheel between the DBX and DB10...you can see how much they raked the head away on the DBX ...also take into account it has a 21inch wheel on that bike and not a 17inch one....so that would bring it 2 inches nearer the front cylinder but its still further away |
