No new Bimota here, but I did order a set of new float needle valves for the Keihin FCR carbs on my DB2. I just have to wait a few days for them to arrive. _________________ Look for my books...

Just got the latest Ian fallen "story of the ducati" . It's the fifth addition and very well put together. Might be of interest to db lovers as the engine history is the best bits... _________________ Pomps

Jut a quick clip specially for you Garry, combines your Love of Kwack triples and Bimota, evidently somewhere in Germany, but not bad for a retro/modern/combo

Not yet, though I am looking at SB8r with madeinitaly, does anyone know who owns it as he is selling it on behalf of a customer. He has had bike in stock now for some time, I would like to chat with owner if any one can put me in touch.
Cheers

Me likey also, how street cred could you be with all that 2 stroke smoke, bel ray smells and in a Bimota Frame, loved and loathed by many all at once. Same fella has also done a ZXR750 with an H2 motor also, but not quite retro enough for me |

Reminds me of the Ringhini Bimota that turns up at 2-Stroke day at Cadwell most years - although that only has a tuned-to-the-bollocks TZ350 twin for motive power. Nice period Bimota chassis though. _________________ Bimota SB6 and Benelli TNT 899S road bikes.

Santa waddled in on Christmas eve, and I spotted something in the back of his slay. I traded this lot for two slabs of VB!!!! All the time Santa was muttering something about oily? I said to him... it matters not Santa I will give them a good clean and lots of love!
In the end Santa seemed quite happy with the deal
