Dunno if this will work, but here's a link to a Facebook video of the first race. I qualified and started 26th out of 47 bikes, and finished about 14th.

Ah yes Trev, but one Bimota on the track is worth two in the garage. Very Happy

Pity the VDues aren't eligible for historic racing. They're a lovely thing.

Glad you had a successful first outing on the yb Bud. Beaut photo's. I was keeping an eye on the weather over the weekend down that way and it looks like the gods were kind to you. I hope to get down to the Classic one of these years.

How many races do you recon you'll compete in this year? Is there a class for you guys for the MotoGp weekend?

The weather was great all weekend, except for rain during the first practice session.

We've got 6 club rounds this year, plus the Barry Sheene Festival of Speed at Eastern Creek plus the New Zealand round at Hampton Downs, plus the Australian Nationals at Lakeside, so I can get plenty of track time. Is that too much???

P4, P5 and P6 bikes are allowed in the WSBK support classes at Phillip Island. I'll give that a miss as it's too far to go so soon after the Island Classic.

Well originally it was fitted in a tesi frame. Engine orientated diffetently, in an upright v, hence why the engine has a spare frame fixing bolt socket between the crankcase halves...i think the bimota bible has pictures of the test tesi vdue, can check and upload if its in
