Ooooh nice, that'll go very nicely with the new colour scheme I'm planning in the summer...you know the one Nat :D

[Otto Otto Otto]

I see it's crept above my £5 bid!!!!!
£36 right now - and the more I look at it the more it looks like a piece of tat!!

[Queen_gravelpants]

Yeah looks like a right bit of tat, I wouldn't bother bidding on it again mate ;)

[Nattyboy]

Youve upset me now justin...I spent alot of money on that..:(

[Otto Otto Otto]

Show it the door!!

[Nattyboy]

It went for £77 in the end!

I sat up til past midnight waiting to put a bid in 2 minutes before the end, I was winning too £46.01 with a maximum bid of £75 to cover myself and 9 seconds to go some *$*$*$* put in a bid of £77!

How gutted am I! :(

Nat if you get anymore of these please please let me know before you put it on Ebay!

[Nattyboy]

sorry QGP....dont know if youve noticed but this guy munstermerlin seems to buy everything for the 888...

Will let you know mate next time..wouldnt have put it on ebay in the first place if id known !!!

Cheers
Nat

Yeah I had noticed he buys everything, maybe's he's building a 888 from Ebay parts! :lol:

He obviously has that software that puts in a bid right at the end, which I think spoils the fun of bidding.

I wasn't going to ask you to take it off mate as you obviously want to get as much as you can for it and £75 was my limit.

I am after unsual bits of carbon for when I paint the bike black so if you get anything else let me know.

Better luck next time eh!

[Nattyboy]

Software that puts bids in..i didnt know about that !!!

Will keep my eyes peeled !

I reckon he could make 2 or 3 bikes from the parts I've seen him buy ......... 2 swingarms this year amongst lots of other stuff!
QGP - Black sounds pretty funky - have you ever seen another?

[Nattyboy]

Maybe he crashes a lot so needs all these spare parts! :lol:

Yes the new colour scheme....satin black with the decals painted black gloss.

If you have a copy of the Ducati 851/888 performance portfolio book there's an article from Fast Bikes mag on page 120 about a one off black 888 done by Claessen Ducati in 1994 I'm doing a replica of that but I'm replacing the seat unit with a single one.

I've been trying to find some colour photos of it as the ones in the book are all B&W. I keep meaning to contact Fast Bikes and see if they have the original pictures archived somewhere, either that or I've got to try and find a copy of Fast Bikes from May 1994.

It's going to look stunning and it'll certainly be a head turner :D
