Factory trip mob might well be drooling right now !
 

Well, they might be on the factory tour I guess.

Oh well, I've joined them in spirit by working on my Ducati all day.

Hope some good pics come back :D:lol::D:lol:

Frank

Yeah....Bastids!!!

Jealous? Moi ????

Yes, we're having a cracking time and have just bought most of the shop!

We've met Lorenzo Lanzi, Federico Minoli, Livio Lodi and even bumped into Tim Macabee of Ducati UK in the bar - typical!

Lots of pics and stories when we get back - and you all had the chance to join us so stop moaning!

You didn't miss much......honest


:devil:

so.... here in the airport in Forli waiting to go home with the hardcore DSC factory trippers....many beers consumed and awaiting jealous responses.....where are you all???

Should beer here, that's where...


:flame::o

jealous responses ... nah, been there, done it, seen it, there will NEVER be another factory trip to match the first in 04.

eh Antonye ??
:P

Gonna say, been there, done that, even over slept for the coach home nextday!

I've just been reminded about this! :devil:


'Are we there yet?'


:burn:

Suddenly finding yourself acting as a full time carer for a poorly missus restricts your chances more than a bit - so I reserve my right to be jealous :frog:

Thanks Antony for letting Gus and I join in for lunch etc.
Apoligies if he was getting 'excitable' at the airport bar, but he was being 'encouraged' by a certain chap from london who allegedly rides a Suzuki ;o)

Nice to meet you all.

PS Off to pick up the 999 later
PPS Have some nice shots I'll post up later once I've downsized the files

Superb day thanks Antony and everyone else I met. Got to bed at 3am but now up and sort of human....

Will download the piccies tonight....

Who took the group shot in the end, or has the camera with it on? Post it up so the webteam can get rid of those ugly fokkers currently on the homepage... ;)

It was Bob.....

Thanks again Antonye for another great trip, it was really cool to meet up you guys again. Even the over excited mini moto rider!!! I also didn't get to bed until 3am, I think...
:o

Dude, your trainers and your hair rocked, but the jeans certainly did need some work!! :lol:

:lol:

Slaughtered by a 10yr old, shameful:lol::lol:


Antonye, thanks for organising the trip had a great day, good to meet some other members of the DSC.

Thanks Antonye, another great tip you organised FANTASIC thans again mate.:D

Big thank to Antony, that was brillant.
I enjoyed the day from the beginning (when I had to run out of the coach into the terminal to read "Bologna Forli, final call"...) to the end (back home around 03.30am, was good chatting with you Alan...).

The Museum is superb, I was in a dream. I love seeing how are built the Dukes... I can now understand why they are such wonderful bikes, I didn't know they are assembled by a lot a beautiful Italian women... :lol:

The shop, well, I would have loved if I had more money to spend. I can bet I'm the only one who didn't buy anything... "Bloody skinflint Frenchman" I can hear from the back... :D

Now back to real life. That's sad. Anyway, I also met a lot of new people, that was great.

2 out of 3 isn't bad!

I finks the Breh was baffould by mis street gear init!
:cool:

Yeah,shame we could'nt take any pics in the factory.That girl who was building a Testastretta motor was awesome.I'm in love.(Only dont tell the missus!:o )
"now you have finished the dishes love,nip in the garage and rebuild me motor!":lol::lol::lol:;)
Other treats were to see the new GT1000 being built,including a limited edition blue coloured bike.A sheeted down 999/749 that clearly was silver in colour,...hmmmm!
And what about that lovely 450 Scrambler sat in the packing bay?:D:cool:
Bloody great day out,...magic!

They had silver 999's last year Keefy.

And the Testastretta motor girl, did they? :lol:
