No Frank, Desmo Due is even more likely, with the space created by selling the 748 to Geoff and the revenue generated, i will be able to get on with existing projects allowing me time in the New year to source and fettle a 600.
I will be renewing my ACU license along with my New Era and North Glos memberships anyway and as I already have full race kit that the scruteneers have checked several times already, I only need to worry about the bike.
I've just come back from Senna3's and he hopes to have his van sorted by the weekend then he may well be on the lookout for a 600 as well.

Ideally we could both do with them before mid March as a mate of mine is hireing Llandau circuit for the day and has invited me along as a coach/instructor as well as another couple of my racer friends, then the others like Senna3 will get the day for a maximum of £120 and probably less as that figure is based on 12 riders.
If we keep it to a maximum of 20 riders its £70 each and loads of tracktime as we will probably run either open pit lane or 20min Novice session and a 40min open pit lane session. All of which would give us enough time to try differnt gearing and suspension settings etc on the 600s if we have them by then.

Not that i'm planing anything

hee hee - right - time to add '600ss' into my Ebay muliplex search index

Its been added to mine for a couple of months now, but they are all a bit costly, last one cost me £1300 and needed a bit of work to get it through its MOT and tidy it up, and at that time another one was broken for spares which I could havehad whole for the same type of money. That was a couple of years ago and one was N reg and the other P reg. another two like that will do me and Senna3 nicely.
