| Welcome to the forum and thank you for buying the bike from John Fallon, its been siting on his website tempting me for months. Now I dont need to find the money, an excuse or room for another bike (till next time) |

ah i did wonder if someone on here might have their eye on it. Glad i have saved someone some grief! fortunately they accepted organ donars which i could pay for it with!! I just hope i'll get on alright with just the one remaining bollock. Should be fine - its been unemployed since i told the missus about the purchase anyway!!
MV05 EXY was actually a number plate i wanted when i first got my MV but i couldnt plump for it in the end, it was, as you say, Very Essex!!!!
I went with SH11 T UP (shuut up) in the end......anyone who has watched 'The only way is Essex will get that', anyone else probably wont!
And Yes, i am joking.

No need to add you were joking, most folk on here do all the time, makes it more enterntaining. You've already shown you're a discerning person (despite being from Essex) in choosing a Bimota but I would keep it quiet about watching TOWIE, I'd hate to take a vote but would reckon there were ZERO watchers of it on this Forum.
Heres a Plate you should have on your Bimota, but you can't coz its MINE

Right then, who's up for a trip to Essex for a test ride, more than UK Bimota ever offered us !!
If it was'nt for searching the galaxy for an SB8K I to was very tempted by that DB. Don't see many of them for that price !! Bit of a bargain !! |

problem is we only think its a bargain once someone else has bought it!

Well no one is really going to say its a bargain if they are considering buying it, lest someone else jumps in evidently. then we can all come clean and say if it was a bargain or not as the time has passed |

Finally got the DB7 yesterday. Never thought I would say this, but I love it more than the MV I had. It's lighter, louder and stops quicker. In love all over again

Day 2 of db7 ownership and the AA had to be called out! Rear wheel bearing shit itself on a roundabout. Horrible grating noise accompanied by shreds of metal all over the rear wheel. Gutted.
