Well folks I did it saw a 996 on ebay and brought it, so now its just a trip to the bank and collect it on Saturday PM.

Now I have a dilemer what should I do with the 600ss. It was going to be a DD replica for road use but now I could just be a DD bike for a bit of fun. I havent race bikes for over a year now after comming off a Cadwell and busting my coller bone (Ouch that really smarts). So I know im going to be warey back on the track.

I already have 900ss exhaust system, clipons, rearset, 750 heads (and barrels but can't use them) twin 6 pots but wavey disks (can't use them).

Well what do you guys think?

Adam.

with regard to the DD issue. i would say get out there. having raced before you'll know whats its like and a great series to get you back into it. there is a good spread of ability so plenty of scope to move around the order.

I havent paid for it yet and Im doing a HPI on it today. But the guy selling it is a really good ducati breaker that lots of us have used before.

Yes I borrowed John Titor's GE-C204 to go and get the picture. Thats how I knew I was going to buy it, by the fact it was in my garage. Also noted that my next wife is a porker but what can you do.

lets hope so, should get him to the end of this season anyway.
Just don't let him near the 996 after what he did to his 916, can't believe I have let him out on the roads on my bike before :o

Kev,

Did you see where he crashed? I paced it out and from where the bike went into the ditch to where it stop cart wheeling was about 55 yards, but bare in mind there was also a foot of water in the bottom. He was lucky to land face up, otherwise he may have drown of worse his ears may have filled up.

I'd like a carbon airbox and single seat for mine ;)
Just brought some termi's and it already has a slipper clutch and an ohlins rear shock :D
Some cans on ebay at the moment that might be worth watching and a carbon single seat I cant afford yet :(
