At this rate you'll be able to open up your own collection to public viewing.

now that's funny 
Thanks Mako, yep your right about addiction, if I gave up the coke, i could afford more Bimota's
Photo's always make them appear better than they are. This one needs a bit of attention to several small things like the paint job and some of the fixings etc. etc, nothing that can't be sorted

Bloody 'ell Oily, you must have been getting desperate to go and see a YB11. Was it the twin seats of the YB that did it,Mr&Mrs Oily, would have been the first Bim ever fitted with a nice custom quilted King and Queen seat. You going soft in your old age ??
Good job someone saved you. |

Some people want everything.
I had forgotten all about them, container got opened by HMRC and impounded . 
Nah . Shipment got put on hold due to various reasons, but has allowed me to fill it up with more tuning parts. I expect it to be here in about 6 weeks and then delivery and unpacking, so probably be able to drop it off on the 24th/25th May when I'm in the midlands |

Just got home with the new member of the stable......
Thanks v12al........
Needs a good fettle which is to be expected for an early bike which has been used. Good job I'm shooting off on holiday now or it would be in bits all over the garage floor tonight
Quite liking the green flashes which are allegedly, original Crescent Bimota. Can any one confirm or does anyone have any details/information on Cresent Bimota? |
Its a Cresents Bimota Oily, Spoke to another Pete who worked for them way back. The only model they sold was the sb's and they sold about 4 sb6's so good chance yours was one of them! |

At last...........
got around to removing the front fairing and throwing the bike on the bench.
First thing I noticed was the much improved coolant filler bung mod....
......Although 10/10 for ingenuity, it had started to perish and not having a spare Bimota bung (which aren't a lot better) and thinking a carbon fibre version was a bit OTT................
...out of the 3 versions, think I prefer mine even if it is only a Mk1 prototype ...
...may have a crack at a Mk2 later if the rain persists
