Working on the decal and number layouts for the 996 Paint or wrap is the question, trying to find a wrap company in LA willing to do motorcycles is not easy
Fairings all fit which was a worry considering I went to Moto Forza in the Czech Republic for them @PopShadowDecals are doing the number plates All I have to do now is paint or wrap

After wasting hours with the paint stripper trying to remove the 3 layers of paint on the 996 tank I gave and $20 and a day later I got it back pristine from the local blast shop Just some wet and dry and it will be ready for paint

Looks like the Ducati will finally see the track in 2021 Looking forward to running it with both @AHRMAVintage Next Gen Superbike 2 and WERA for the coming season

Nice Craigslist score over the weekend Ex Doug Chandler Marchesini front wheel for the ZXR
There is a big pile of Titanium nuts, bolts and axles on the workshop floor ready to install on the 996 project Over 100 bolts just for the engine Weight saving probably negligible but this thing is going to look like it goes fast when finished

Front wheel of the 996 bolted together Found some barely used SPS disks and going to run the Dunlop Q4’s to shake down the bike before switching to slicks – at La Canada Flintridge, CA

ANZAC Day here in the US, not quite the same without a service but we remember At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. – at La Canada Flintridge, CA
Tail section finished at the body shop looking spectacular as the guys from Born Again Fairing fixed my crash damage (again)
Woke up to that sad news a legend for both me and my old man – at La Canada Flintridge, CA
We are sad to report that Stirling Moss has died at the age of 90. "My wonderful husband is no longer with us," said Lady Moss. bit.ly/2y3HFgd
At least the parcels keep arriving The 996 is slowly going to return from boxes of bits to being a motorcycle again At least no racing means I’m not missing rounds while I try to rebuild it
Upper fairing repair and paint finished at the painters Looking good but sadly but not unexpectedly ⁦@AHRMAVintage⁩ just postponed (hopefully) not cancelled next months racing at Willow Springs

Getting the fairings I wrecked at Laguna Seca repaired as well as waiting on a new set to get made and come in from Europe Still on track for the ⁦@AHRMAVintage⁩ racing in late April (I think)

Well the pinky may not be pretty but it’s healing Now to try actually bending in and gripping a bar Target is an April track day before jumping back to @AHRMAVintage at @RealWsir on the big track – at La Canada Flintridge, CA
