It's all his fault that I bought my 888 too! I'll never forget seeing him on the 888 at Donington lifting the front wheel on the power coming onto the start/ finish straight. And the noise........
ACTUALLY IT'S TRUE ! BOUGHT THE CHASSIAS OFF OF THE FACTORY AT AUCTION - BIDDING AGAINST THE JAPS ..... THEN THIER MOBILE WENT DEAD AND THE HAMMER WENT DOWN !
S'POSE UR GONNA WANT A PICCY OF THAT THEN? FALAPPA SIGNED THE FRAME (BUT NOT IN GOLD!)
I have had the great fortune to meet him a few times and the man still LOVES his Ducatis.If it wasn't for some bad luck he would have been champion for sure.Here we are at Silverstone.the next sequence of photos were at Donington,iasked him for his autograph but he just wouldn't.I can't imagine why!!
