Tonight I bought myself an 848 that has been campaigned in the BEARS F2 Championship here in Aus, winning this years title. A rather tasty machine with a boat load of extras and to say I'm stoked would be a massive understatement. Looks are not unlike like Larry Pegram's beastie here So next year I'll be racing at Eastern Creek, Phillip Island and a few others ... it's always been a dream of mine to race at Phillip Island, I can't wait! Wooooohooooo!
Nice, liking the forks Tp on a racing subject, didn't we have another bet on the motogp outcome (riders for health) ? And you lost :biggrin:
Racing bears is easy, you can lap them while they take a shit in the woods. Same goes for the Pope :wink: Good luck .
Great TP now we can pitch in with advice, look where it got Terry Tibbs. First off have you got a tyre warmer ....
Well, unfortunately I don't have the gas forks like Larry did .. mine are the Showa's with 30mm Ohlins Cartridges in them. And a ttx shock ... the bike really has a load of stuff done to it, it's a complete bargain and I still can't believe how lucky I was to get it so cheap! Re: the bet - probably! How much do I owe RFH? I genuinely laughed out loud at that one! Patience grasshopper - I was too excited to take any when I went and looked at it, despite having my camera in my pocket! Hardly a poker faced moment... Now that was an interesting thread ... Lougi's a top bloke, he'll sort Mr Tibbs out. I'm leaving my Louigi Moto logos on my leathers for next season, the guy is a legend and a true enthusiast/Ducatisti Gilps! We're a winning team! Get some flights sorted and we'll get the band back together :wink: Are you calling me fat? Cheers but mine is mainly red with white. I'm thinking matte black.. To be honest racing is so expensive here, compared to the UK, that I can't see me spending money on paint. She's a racebike and will be treated like the dirty ho that she is As soon as I have some pics I'll stick them up. First track day is at Eastern Creek on Dec 14 - BOOYAH!
So Tony, let's get this right.. The forks are different and the paint job isn't the same. you could've posted up any 848!:wink: Still it'll look nice with the forged March's and Leo system :biggrin: Good on ya' hope you do very well
