Unbelievably Good Luck!

Wow, did I get lucky. My previous post was about destroying the rear fender on my BB1 on its first ride after finishing the repairs. I was certain that I'd have to pay someone major bucks to custom-make a replacement for me. Well, as it turned out, the guy who bought all of the Bimota parts stock from the previous Bimota US importer found a brand-new BB1 rear fender in his pile of parts! And it didn't cost me an arm and a leg.


Here it is installed on my bike:

I'm quite pleased with how it came out. I took the bike for a nice 120-mile loop on Mines Road with my buddy Bill on Labor Day and it was a total kick to ride on the twisties! Bill was following me and he said it looked like I wasn't even trying even though we were riding a nice brisk pace. Of course, when we got to The Junction to have a snack, all the motorcyclists there gravitated over to check out this bike, as very few people in the US have ever even seen one in person. Everyone thought it was a very cool little bike, myself included!
