Good spot, I've ordered a couple. I managed to get into the Bimota paddock with the team and Christian Iddon at Portimao, back in the day... _________________ Bimotas, Yamaha FZR 2TK, Honda NC30, MV Agusta F3 800, Aprilia RS250 |

Not met Cristian before, but last year I met his Ex girlfriend...a paddock girl...its only when she stood next to my DB1 did she say "Ooo...By Mota"...my Ex used to race for them...."..turned out to be Cristian...
Up to 30+ bikes now Andy for the Show...YB wise, we've had the Race YB4ie drop out...as its away for engine work apparently...we have final confirmation on YB9SR in "sheepdip yellow" Paul DB2...YB10 Red/Silver (Admins)...and YB11 Philfingers...And maybe a newbie with YB7....Is there any gaps you could fill in this run of bikes?? Or YB's in different colour scheme?
DB series we have a full HOuse from DB1-DB11
etc etc |

ordered one. Ordered size large but a little worried that it could be like the official Bimota T shirt which is sized for a large Italian. Seems to taper inwards in the waist area where i need tshirts to give somewhat around the middle parts. I suppose at that price i cant really go wrong! |

I've got the ......
YB4ie Championship colours (needs new fuel pump or in-tank fuel hoses otherwise good to go)
YB6 (pre-EXUP) with swiss headlight in championship colours (running)
YB7 in championship colours (running)
YB8 EXUP with EVO fairing (running)
YB9SR in Gobert colours silver/red/black (running)
YB10 Biposto (running)
They've all been to the show at some point over the years. _________________ Bimotas, Yamaha FZR 2TK, Honda NC30, MV Agusta F3 800, Aprilia RS250 |

Oye you...get back in that garage and crack on with the DB1 resto...only five weeks to the show......
Evidently the YB9 also came in "Sheepdip Blue"...and "sheepdip red"....I just cant figure with so much pre and post weird and wonderful paint schemes that Bimota used, including evidently my favourite "tri-color", that the YB9's came with a "throw it in a vat of paint" style of paintjob...a scheme not used before by them...or since?
My favourite YB9 paint job is undoubtedly "laminator"...a combo of silver, black, red and white number boards... |

They did have a "sizing" link half way down the advert...if you clicked on it...it gave chest sizes for L, XL, XXL etc... |

I'll have 2 from the top...and four from anywhere else....4, 6, 8 and 10...I like the colour scheme on your 10...same bike as Admins...but just looks SO different...only a bim enthusiast would pick it up that it was the same bike...and evidently your 8 is tricolor...my fave....Someone else is looking to bring a YB7 so I'll leave that spot vacant to try and give all members the chance to bring and show....Running or not...we're not bothered...2 of mine are..ahem...not running...but will be attending |

Jeeso...with all of these purchases...I think I should have negotiated and bought their entire stock...and then hawked them out at double the price at our forthcoming Mcr show...You not coming over Waggy??...Spoke to the Organisers director again today...Advance ticket sales are up 105% on this time last year...and apparently a coach tour company is bringing 300 Dutchmen over from..well Dutchland of course...just for the show...I oh lordy hope its not just to see the Bimota stand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Don't want them sticking their fingers in holes on our stand |

2bims, I'm not going to be able to make it unfortunatey (down on the south coast at my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary bash).
The promised turn-out so far is impressive - good job everyone, and looking forward to the photos. |
