Fair go oily... it's not a competition to see who can own the most sb6's. We all know you already hold that record!
But seriously, good onya. Can't wait to read the next edition of the 'and so it begins' saga. Will there be 7 books like the harry potter series?

We will know more on Monday but I'm not expecting a large amount of work as it's been repeatedly cosseted at the college for a fair while.
I only had time to give it a cursory glance and never caught sight of the bodywork at all but we do know it's damaged,
Still, at that price, it would be rude not too

That means I own more than 10% of SB6's in the country
Getting there
Seriously......I don't believe that. There has got to be more than that.
Before Christmas, I asked Keith (ADMIN) about a register, I'll PM him again now

Hooray..........now been delivered
Firstly.....Big thanks to Steve for selling it to me and the level 3 students who rebuilt the engine
If any of you would like to get involved with putting it back on the road............get in touch, you'd be welcome
Anyhoo...........
How surprised was I, having not seen the bodywork but knowing it was damaged.....when I saw that the front fairing had been "3 pieced"
and not only that....Anyone notice anything unusual...
...closer.....coincedence or what
....Got it yet? 
Back to the rest.....
Plus a box of bits and a couple of brochures......
ironic with one of the brochures being for the ugliest Bimota arriving with one of the pretty Bimota's
That's all for now.....
Next is make a list of missing parts, parts required and have a good hard think as to how it's going to look when finished. Probably not original
