Also its the last with a "traditional" Swing Arm, so a "look a like" is even more possible, total build to look like a TT will come out under £7k
2018 will mark 50 years since my very first race in 1968, and as I have a bit of "form" on my Thruxton Bonneville and other bikes most entry's wont be a problem, Bike + Rider = 80 + !!! .
First event will be Thunderfest at Darley Moor in May, followed by many more inc. Classic TT.
That sounds great then- hope you get to ride it without any hassle with parade entries.

I race (when I am able) with a chap who bought his Cotton Telstar brand new in 1965 (picked it up January '66 I think) and still races it and is still bloody quick!!

I've not long had a Birthday so the combined age of my little Ducati racer and me is over one hundred now- scary stuff!!
