Well, George came and picked up the V-Due this morning so I am now Bimota less. He seemed very pleased with the bike, and I'm sure he'll enjoy it. There's no other Bimota old or new that I fancy, so don't think I'll be back in the fold for the foreseeable future. So I guess it's bye for now. I will drop in from time to time to see what's happening ( so no change there I guess) and should my Bimota status change I'll let you all know. Cheers  |

| Took it out for its first proper ride today. Bit weird after years of sports bikes, but damn it's fast, and the sound through the Termis is fantastic. Should be ale to give a few sporty bikes a bit of a shock/run for their money. |

He might be on here already? Although no one has asked for a cup of tea yet so probably not...

What a pernicious lot you are
Yes, an engineer, one of the gentry, not one of he opulent .
An HD owner, and proud of it - gets more comments,photographed and praised than when I am out with the Bim
Mr X , I know has over 27 bikes ,mostly Ducks, ( 2 V-DUES,now one) of which none are on the road or the other thing ( notice the lack of the use of the "word" for legal purposes) 
As for MCN , 1144 SB6`s -I rest my case your honour
