Do you know I didn't consider going on the train, even from Imola - are you? - is the circuit far from the station do you know?
brutapela Gold as well, seat 158 row Y. Tickets arrived yesterday :0:0 _________________ KB1x2, SB3 SB4 BB1 DB2 Vdue Evo YB11 RB1 Ducati MHR Suzi GS650 |

Ha ... J 21 and 20. You went through bookmoto huh ?
We fly to Bologna and take the train to Cattolica on Friday. Hang out Saturday ... we have a moped hired. Race Sunday.
The train is about 2 hours from Bologna but theyre cheap about 20€. Theres a station at Missano id say its about 1/2 hour walk to the track. The problem will be getting out !!! I assume your riding there and back - it will be standing traffic for a while even for bikes.

As far as anyone knows the answers are....no...no...no and finally no......You could check how tall the grass has grown since the last photo....it was up to the wall height on the last shot taken...….Building was always rented.....and not owned by Bimota.....Check out Vyrus while youre in and around the area...
Rather strangely though I note that they are now listing the following address as their "home" on the Bimota.it website.
VIA ARIETE 58, Rimini 47923
But there sure doesnt appear to be any factory there
Their address used to be Via Giaccaglia, 38 47900 Rimini...which is looking a bit sad for itself...stripped of most of its Bimota logos and signs...and a for sale sign outside...
