I feel like a new user here, but would like to say hello again after a long absence.
Got a bit downhearted after the last time my Bim fell over (that was 2008) and had loads of work to do on the house and other projects, so she got put in the back of the workshop under cover and the bodywork got hung up out of the way.
The bike did get started up regularly but sadly not taken out for a run and I generally lost touch with everything bimota (apart from drooling over every one I seen on my Isle of man visits... 1 YB11 in2010 and a v due and a SB8 this year).
Finally I am back on track and the old girl is getting a bit of a resto now and soon I hope I can share my resto pics, findings and opinions with you all.
Great to see ya all still at it and glad to see how big this site has grown.
Hopefully I can be of some help again with stuff and I hope to meet some of you guys this year..... al

Yeah... working on it big time now, it started as a clean up and repair the body and just get back on the road.... now its in about 100 bits all over my workshop, gonna start a new thread soon when I re organise all my pics on flickr so all who are interested can see what these bikes are made of and hopefully show the rebuild.
Don't do the rivington meet for about 6 weeks lol.
