They use dishwasher!!!!!!!
 

Hi DSC,

Back from Estoril now!!!
The greatest time in my life! I can't describe how I'm still feeling! Saturday and Sunday there, I watched the qualifying and the race. I purchased two tickets. Grandstand A to watch the start and grandstand E to watch the corners.

Then I ran to the paddocks and thanks forever to that lovely English promoter who gave me his pass, I started my two missions 'go to the Ducati stand and look at Valentino's bottom as close as possible'.

After a sexist start with the Ducati team who did not want to believe I have a 999, I then showed them the picture. They asked smiling 'Can you touch the ground?'. I said 'Can Loris do it?'.
You know what, my lovely 999 opened the doors and here I am, look at the attached picture, touching Loris's baby.

I spent an hour with them while they were dismantling and washing Gibernau's bike.

A guy comes with Sete's rear brake with included rear brake fluid container and gear pedal and deep down in Shell cleaner. OK so far.

Then he takes my mother's dishwasher, a popular brand called Svelto. I think ok he's washing his hands.
Dishwasher, water, bucket and deep down Sete's rear brake and gear pedal.

Me, still holding my breath, 'mmmm, excuse me, are you really washing Sete's bike in my mother's dishwasher?'
Him 'If your mother washes her dishes, why can't I wash Sete's bike with it?'
Me 'I understand, but, you know, if I had known that before, I would have saved a lot of money in expensive bike cleaners?'
The guy looks at my astonished face and worried says 'You must trust me, if we do it, you can do it'
I said 'Man I trust you, God knows how much I trust you, it's just that I'm amazed!'

Loris was there, chatting with his wife. He has beautiful eyes, a small guy. I did not say anything to him, I did not want to be the usual annoying fan.

Everybody is small there.

The yellows finally came out. The Yamaha stand was next to the Ducati stand.
Colin small!!!
Vale small, but I love his bottom!!!

Men, I have a future on bikes then. The problem is that I have nobody to hold and park my bike.

Hot news. The Ducati guys said that Hayden and Pedrosa had a proper fight back to the paddocks.

Other hot news. I saw the Ducati 800cc for next year MotoGP. Only the body, no wheels attached. I can't say anything though, I promised I would not.

I want to go to Valencia. Who's coming?

...the greatest time in my life. Sometimes I wish I could do on my bike only a tiny fraction of what these amazing guys do...

Great report,nice one.
I just knew Hayden and Pedrosa would come to blows.Hayden was steaming!!
My tickets for Valencia turned up saturday,so I'll be there.:D

Excellant , so pleased you had a great time, now for the real riding gods!!!
Surrey oficial ride-out 22nd Oct
Well that time has come around again. A chance to enjoy riding your bike and to meet some faces.
We are having a 09.30am meet at Box Hill for a 10.00am leave. Then we will head off for a bit of a jaunt. However due to the slightly later start our belly's will be groaning so we will stop en-route for Full English intermission, if the masses want.
Then swing round to finish back at Box for a natter before we head home.
So! who's up for it?
Be good for you to meet everyone, or viceaversa. you could check everyones bums out!:lol: :lol:

Any chance of writing a full version of your weekend and sending it in to Pronto? It'd be a good read!
