Its true , sunny weather seems to have arrived and Bimota's can break cover.
First out of the garage was a surprise visit from Santa. Don't you just love it when Santa calls  , its been a while
On the way past Tryweryn lake
And then onto the sea side in Abersoch.

Thanks santamonica was my all time favourite bimota since I saw one in 2004 and took me a few year to find one, at least something good came out of the recession 
Anyway summer over now, got a whole week of sun.! |

Good to see the Santa Monica out for a run Stu. Certainlt did look like nice weather. Surprized nobody else was out for a spin.
In the depths of winter here at the moment... a chilly 20 deg C here this morning at 7am  . A little cloudy though, hoping to go for a ride tomorrow.

That is very nice. Tesi is still top of my list, but that is a very close second. Very jealous.

| Tesi , oh now you started something, still on my list to, just got to find one I can afford, not sure if it would be a 2D or 3D to be honest, not like I am going to have the option would probably settle for either. |

Late September and summer IS STILL here , so only seems right to give the DB4 a run out. Got to say never has 90bhp been so much fun to ride, I do like my DB4.
On the way to Wales friday afternoon before the welsh Politza come out with their speeding fines.
And finally at the sea side an hour later. Nothing quite like a Bimota, sea side and an icecream, does life get better.

Tis about 1 mile after you do the 180 degree turn at the bottom of Bala lake to race , sorry , ride back along the other side.
About half way for me from home to Abersoch so a good place for 10 min break and some sugar intake.
Although DB4 is not as uncomfortable as others and could just about do the 140miles in one hit . |

Hopefully not but North Wales Police do like to frequent the biking roads and in my younger days have been caught a few times. But that was in my younger wilder days when I had 888 Duc's , now I am a more mature Bimota owner I behave myself OK maybe not. |
