Okay.......I will bring two, the DB9 and the DB7-11 VLX replica even if it is not finished...although why not, I know not.

Can I book a room and I might extend the trip slightly and help dismantle the stand rather my usual....your idea...you clear it up ...approach of past years.

Regards
Gavin

Room Booked Gav.....If the weathers nice and I get overbooked theres a 4 man tent option in the garden...and If I take all my bims down to the show...the garage will be half empty and thus is a 3rd option also....Its insulated, heated, carpeted and with a dehumidifier fitted....Just needs a bucket in the corner and an outside shower rigging up....

To be fair....I didn't do much of the "tidying" up in 2017...other than dragging bikes back home....as I'd spat my dummy by then...Will have to think of a new disguise if I'm doing this next year....As I've gotten out of the "nuns" habit

OK Folks......The "Manchester Bike Show - 2019" is now up and live on "t'internet" and an application for the Bimota Forum and UK Bimota FB page has been written out, scanned and emailed and posted and also strapped to the leg of a pigeon and sent off...Early February they let us know if "we're in"


Would be great to get some "new Blood" and bimotas never shown here before...but as always everyone is welcome.


More details here:-

Steve, 2017 was great and if I can get my DB2 HF MotoCorse tribute up and running I’ll be there. Have a few cash flow problems at the mo that make a firm commitment to finishing the resto on time difficult but this at least this gives me a target and added incentive.

With (no doubt) your modded DB2 there it would be great to also get an FE and SR there to complete the lineup.

Does anybody know the whereabouts of any YB or SB series race bikes as I’m sure most punters are even less aware of that side of Bimota history than the road bikes (plus an SB1 is just SOOOOO pretty!)

Would definitely have a nice display of Bimotas if you and 2bims and laminator (and a few others) had all of your treasures lined up in one spot Cool
