That looks impressive … beautiful to see all those Bimota’s … only where did you guys hide the SB6.
I can imagine what fun it was to make the pictures. Especially with the lady’s and the teddy bear, one looks like a naughty schoolmistress and the other one looks like … naughty … you lucky b####rds. _________________ vince

Cheers all...........lots of lovely more pictures and video clips to come..........be patient.......as uploading to pants Photobucket...Grrghhhh.........
Lots of people came...happy to see you all.........But a tremendous thanks to all the guys on the stand for their assistance....and to all who visited...it was great to see you alll...and "admin" at long last we met....thanks for keeping the site running and keeping us all together in "Bimota World"
Lots of staggered people at the line-up......managed one more Bimota than last year....17 different bikes this year....all who came down were welcome to sit on the bikes...although on Sunday...due to time consuming efforts in polishing off finger marks and sticky lollies.....we employed a strict "Lovely Lycra Clad Ladies Only" policy..........
So another Big thanks to those lovely Ladies from Ducati, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Principal Insurance and more...very pleasant to meet you all.......
Just got back home...all babies safely tucked away.......had much fun in the Arena starting up the bikes in a Multi-crescendo of full bore exhaust tunes...and the "cackle" of 3 No. Bimota Vdues........Arghhhh...the smell of 2-stroke in the afternoon...........
Apologies to anyone I've forgotten to thank...and for those that I missed catching up with......it was MANIC all day today.......mostly because they upgraded us to a Dealer Prime position next to Main Dealers Yamaha and Suzuki.........indeed we took down more bikes than Honda Main Dealer...Ducati....Yamaha and Kawasaki......Oopppsss...didnt favour too well but we are "single minded"
Off for a Curry......pictures and video clips later........

And a few more to close for tonight.......
And even a video tour of the bikes...click on the picture below, a little hand will appear, wait and be patient and it will load and autorun........
More pictures and babes later from the other boys down there.....Total tally of Bimotas ran as follows:-
6 No. DB's
4 No. YB's
3 No. V-dues
2 No. SB's
1 No. KB
1 No. BB
And seeing as they are apparently "popular" and all the rage nowadays....I was forced by a statuesque, 6ft 2inch 19 year old blonde lady to "do a selfie".........never one to refuse.......(the 19 year old is on the left.....as its hard to tell otherwise......
For those that are brave and like horror films..........scroll down............for those that are sqeamish and only like "beauty" in their life......then please blank off the right hand side of your screen......you have been warned.......................
BEAUTY.....AND THE BEAST

Great photo's, I'll never clean the YB9 seat again!
Good to meet you all again, sorry I couldn't spend more time on the stand and at the show. Very impressive sight see all the Bims together, some fantastic machinery on the stand. And as mentioned more bikes than the main dealers had on show.
I got some photos, but no Lycra clad ladies.
