| JHP prize - update
Today I went with Senna3 to take his engine up to Ducati Coventry so that it could be stripped and put back together ready for next seasons racing. Things like bearings will be replaced and all clearances checked and set.
This all comes for free thanks to the Generosity of John Hackett who offered it as a prize for what was judged to be the best turned out Desmo Due entry.
The visit to the shops and workshop made for a nice day out, no sooner had we stepped in the door and we were directed towards the coffee machine. After a quick word with Dave Riley he went down to the workshops to get John. Just as we were heading don to the workshops Butch turned up, I had heard rumors that he lived there now I believe it :P
Soon we were in the engine building room talking with John and drinking coffee and soon joined by his son Rick who had helped judge the DD bikes for the prize. While there we had a good look around the workshops and I was very impressed by the amount of care given to customers bikes as well as the overall cleanliness of the workshop.
JH was a great host and jsut had so much time to chat about all things Ducati.
I'm certainly looking forward to the retun visit when the engine needs picking up, hard to think of a etter way to spend a cold winters day.  |
