I will start it off.

Oldani 230mm 2LS. Thanks a lot DesmoDog



and

F3 style dry clutch

Alloy bodywork from Evan Wilcox (going on the same bike as the Oldani replica. Just doing my part to stimulate the economy!)

Think I officially hate you now

Man, that sure is purty....

Excellent... that means my work here is done!

The bodywork was a long time coming, I spent about twelve years saying "someday..." before I finally ponied up for it. The brake was something of an impulse buy - I was planning on a Grimeca, but made an offer on this and the next thing you know it was winging it's way over from Jolly Old England.

And just so you know, you've got me thinking about a dry clutch for this thing now. I seem to remember the last one I saw was stupid expensive, but not ungodly expensive. And I'm pretty stupid sometimes, so...

Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

Like I didn't already have enough things to spend money on.

I've realized the dry clutch kits seem to eliminate the kickstart. That makes it a no-go for me.

Whew, there's $1500 saved...

No such luck buddy. Take another look at the Old Racing Spares version I showed above. Spot for the kickstart on that one. That is the reason I like that one.

Let the bargaining with the devil begin again...

This is me ignoring you and your evil posts.

Seriously though, I'd prefer something with a little less advertising on it.

I agree with ya.

The DucBits part looks like it almost could be machined to use a kickstart. There is a little flat on it already.
