I took a few shots of today's 2008 DD Trophy Winners at JHP's in Coventry this afternoon.(Attached at the bottom)

A very Windy ride to Coventry and back today, not to sure if Matt will ever go on the bike of my bike again, looked a bit green and shakey when we got back to Lincoln

The usual good hospitality by Mr John Hackett, I think Matt was some what
in awe to have JH offer to make him a coffee when we got there

He soon overcame his nerves and asked Mr Hackett to give a personal tour around the workshop, cheeky boy

A big thanks to Mr Tony Rutter for handing out the trophy's.

I was hoping to be there today, but a buyer for my crashed car arrived and needs must.

Mr Rutter looks like he had taken a shine to Miss Riot. :-)
Franco you should have called in to see me.

Good to catch up with eveyone today, nice to see so many Class B riders in attendance.
Well done to those receiving their Silverware, Harriet seemed as pleased as ever to be picking up a trophy and Dom still has a big grin on his face when his name is called out just like he did when I first watched him pick up a DD trophy at Cadwell. I think Matt has got to used to picking up trophies but its not many that get handed a winners trophy by a 4 times world champion.
Well done to Senna3 for picking up the Dave Harris Award, well deserved mate I have seen with my own eyes the dedication you have put into DD over the last 4 seasons.
And congratulations to Franco on his trophy, when your bike turned up at the begining of the year in its pearlescent painted bodywork including the modfied 1098 fairing it certainly stood out as a specil effort.

Big thanks to Tony Rutter for presenting the awards and for spending the time talking to people and answering their questions
And a big thanks to John and all his staff for their Hospitality.

Afterwards a few of us popped next door for a meal, a drink and a chat, must say the food and drink was good value and the company excellent.

Sadly none of the Class A trophy winners were present so Harriet collected the Class A winners trophy on Cobby's behalf, I'll try and remember to bring the other two to Donington in case the trophy winners turn up there.

ps
It was good to see Sam West looking fit and healthy and minus the crutches that he had with him the last time we met

Sorry Matt - it was a Magners moment!!
