I'm affraid i'm getting the bug:

Just started my collection and have decided to collect as many of the championship winning bikes from GP, WSB & BSB. Maybe a test bike or two also

Just bought two 1:12 scale bikes: a 2001 996 Bayliss #21 (not imola) for £35 and a 2001 Rossi NSR #46 Mugello special £75. After some investigation I thought these were ok prices championship winning. Also got a reynolds 2004 gixxer on pre-order.

Also I just got a Swap Meet email (below) that might be of interest to fellow enthusiasts. I've also been wondering what might be very collectable in years to come. I see minichamps are going to do a fast freddie & wayne gardiner rep with limited numbers. Also the Rocket III, which is not my cup of tea, I was wondering if that might be sought after in the future.

I wondering if I should try and find a sado forum for minichamp bike collectors (or start one)

Ziggi, I caught the bug some 4-5 weeks ago, I now have 35 of them. Altogether they look great in the cabinet. You will end up spending lots of money on them. Minichamps are the ones to go for.

with the Barry Sheene, you can get that on ebay for £35.00.

[ziggi]

minichamps are the only ones i've been looking at. 35 in 5 weeks - that's serious money. I think i will take my time.

[adam]

I can slow down now that I have collected the Main bunch. There will be additions as time goes on.

[deej]

you'll never slow down adam

ziggi stick to 1:12 scale the 1:6 are a bit tacky and not as detailed imo


ive been on swapmeet myself and will have a more thorough look at it later when i get chance

this is the new minichamps forum i think, at least for ducati enthusiasts it is
