    They certainly do look like dogs.

    Oh - sorry that's not what you meant is it?

Well, at least goes through the motions of wheeling it around the racetrack at some speed on trackdays.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    A fully sorted Bimota VDue, they way they envisaged it would work -not the stuff up that rolled off the production line.

    In the absence of the clearly impossible - I’d make do with a road registered (& detuned) NSR500V twin with a pit crew to follow me around rebuilding it.

    Best they pack a few spare fairing panels while they are at it.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Speaking of RSVs - who was it that asked KBers iffen he should get an R1 or some obscenely cheap RSV? Has the scoundrel got it yet?
    ... and that's what I think.

    Those Ducati Monsters are pretty darn cool, but really I'd have to do a whole heap of test riding all sorts of different bikes before I could decide

    Yeah you got me on that, I really should have known better. Still it'd certainly be something to scare the bejeezuz out of the commuters on a Monday morning. Wonder how it would like idling down the Gorge.

    Guess I'll have to stop dreaming, and polish the old GS some more.

    Did anyone see the article on the new Bimota Tesi 2D a couple of Two Wheels back - weird but strangely alluring. About $50,000 AUSD. I'd have one!
    Or...or...or... a new MV F4 1000 - just plain beautiful.

    It would have to be a Spondon RG500 with a Mark Dent motor and all th efruit. Thirsty, anti social and loud, and an enviromental nightmare on 2 wheels...
    ...and summat like a new Beemer with luggage for the longer trips or pillions

    Well ofcourse it would have to be a GSX-R600 K4 thats a bike where i could eventually push it to its limits.....

    If it was for wank factor and money was no object, and it was rideable on the road.... The Britten would be for me.... or a MotoGP bike.....
