Well I like them far more than Terreblance's other creations. I do agree re. the frame. It should be a lightweight bolt-on subframe. The existing frame is a bad thing for racing in terms crash resistance and weight...in the USA they cut the rear off and put a proper subframe on..here in the UK we aren't allowed to do it. If you're willing to pay then we hould talk - it's an absolute hoot to ride. A bit underpowered against the big 4's but, nonetheless a lot of fun. Corner speed is high. | ||

The rubber pad just pulls off - getting the double-side foam tape off is another matter altogether. The bodywork is from Ricambi Weiss in Germany.They have an eBay shop but, it's cheaper to buy direct from them...just Google. The seat is from Ducati Kaemna in Germany (expensive but it fits straight away). Don't buy the Ricambi seat - it's ****. I talk to a lad who races an 800ss in the USA. He has 999 bodywork on it - apparently it goes on well with very little modification. Last edited by twpd : 22-Aug-2006 at 13:18. | ||

As you know - it's a myth that we choose to perpetuate. Let a woman know you can multi-task and she'll just give you more work to do. I can quite happily drink beer, surf the web, listen to music and watch the box all at once. | ||

Its made me think about when I started racing ... I was running a 350 velocette (stop laughing at the back, it was only 5 years ago !) in vintage events, even then I was entering up to 3 classes per meeting, so I got to race behind a lot of 500s, and they were so slow into the corners I got really fed up with them ... so I bought one. A velo 500, so it felt and handled just the same as my 350. The very first meeting I rode it at everything was going really well as I got used to the extra grunt, and then I came off it 3 times in 2 days  as well as surviving a massive holding-on-by-one-hand-with-feet-flying-in-the-air-highside.Well, it was 3-sisters, and it was wet  Oops, shouldnt be telling you that just now should I nige | ||
