Fantastic pictures, great to see a YB4 on-track.
2Bims - why didn't we get to do a few laps at our show? Come on man sort it out, maybe next year? LOL |
Yes Lammie....I do feel that I failed in my tasks during the weekend on a few issues.....Although I did sort out the lovely ladies in ripped jeans etc to come down to the show and sit on our bikes, courtesy of Facebook....they had posted up that they were looking for bikes to sit on and I messaged them to look out for a Nun and follow the Nuns righteous path straight to heaven.....The Home of Bimota....and follow they did, to the Sea of Bimotas, and upon there they duly anointed themselves in the sea of Bimotas.....
You should have helped me and GeeKay to ride a few home....as we rode 4 back down the M60 "racetrack" late at night....ducking and weaving and Dodging traffic...twas a blast |

But did you know it is an authentic Bimota? It has the Bimota badge of authenticity on the triple clamps and Bimota stamped on the frame. It was a great find so we stole it for our display for a little while. |
Tis indeed a lovely Bike...and a nice credit to its owner in using it.....The Badges of "authenticity" on the triple clamps were/are a "non-Bimota" product of Fernando Felli....an author and lover of Bikes, and one of the 3 Journalists that rode the Bimota 500Vdues from "island to Island"...Sicily to Isle of Man....way way back when.....He still produces this metal badges today if anyone is interested, you will have to find him on Facebook and message him...reads and writes English and a nice fellow....

OR.....It could be Manual Nunez Ortero...Head of the Swiss Bimota Register...also on Facebook....I've tried searching about the badges etc etc...but unfortunately Farsebook only goes back so far then they ditch stuff.....too cheap to keep all info/posts/photos etc...but I did "chat" to one or the other about these badges....and its on this Forum some where also |

Top marks to everyone who attended the show or supplied bikes! It great to put some ugly mugs to names and forum nicknames. Nice to meet all of you finally. We had some beautiful examples of Bimotas there and a really good variety of models.
Lech (Bud) did a great job organising the area for the Bimota display and everything that goes along with it, thanks mate for a top effort! Also going to the trouble of arranging some trophies to present to some of the entrants.
All in all a great turn out! _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |

Oh! I forgot to mention too, Lech did all of this whilst also competing in the racing over the 4 days of the event. Lech did an amazing job on his very sweet YB8 race bike over the weekend competing in the period 6 class and also the top 50 class. Awesome job mate and it was great to see you improving your times with each session. It was great to be able to spend time with you in your garage doing tyre warmer and start roller duties. _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |

Even Andrea Iannone took time out of his busy MotoGP weekend to 'like' a FB post that I put up of Lech and his YB8 race bike!!! _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |
