Ha ha , she's well aware it's just for me , it's down to Rebecca that I got the bike any way , she's one in a million . Tho now wants a red an white SP for herself !! Can't realy say no can I ??

Yeah I'm well chuffed , the crowd was a little storage and felt a little embarresed , one guy said the bike almost made me look good Smile ha ha ha ..

I did have a 10 meter ride , lol , and soon discovered it has the turning circle of a cruise ship ! Can't wait to hit the open road , or should that be ride the open road ? Hopefully not hitting anything .....

Great stuff, you guys wouldn't be the first couple to both db's. The owner of my old db7 liked the husbands db8 so much she had to have one herself. Cool

Looks awesome Lee! Good to see some things haven't changed with time... same transport stand that Bimota has used for years and the usual crowd gathering Laughing

Crowds or people having a nosey are found to take some getting used to for sure , had a load of questions from people at the bike shop so is best brush up and have the answers !

I made sure I got the stand and a cover , stands are nice and compact and will save me 75 bucks for all the polish ill be needing Smile ha ha

I've ordered a new helmet and Rebecca again insists I treat myself to some new leathers , tho I think I could possibly look like a idiot lottery winner .. Wil soon get the leathers scuffed up Smile

If it were me i'd keep the crate too. Or at least the sides off it with the bimota logo. Would look fantastic hung on the wall of the shed Wink
