Love the innovative swing-arm mounted footpegs! Grimeca wheels I think (where's Bob with the Jota - he'll know). Maybe it's actually one of these fine scale models...

Now that is a proper collection of class machinery.
Nice, where did you get those tasty bikes from.
Even better if you had all those in full size.

The smaller 888 on the plinth is a Protar!Its a scaled down version of the bigger ones.Quality is pretty good,the frame and forks are made of metal.
We used to have a great model shop in town where I could get them from.They even had a Protar catalogue to choose from.
The shop has now sadly gone,but I did see a guy selling Protar stuff at the MotoGP.

Red - well spotted mate. I think you're right. I've been keeping my eyes open for some nice CF one's on eBay tho! The diameter of the exhaust tubing is way too narrow as well, so that'll be the next job.. and.. and then.. (Whoa! Is we anoraks or WOT? Think I'd best stick to those SUPER paper ones!) :roll:
