| The ride into London was rubbish, but then it always is! Potholes galore and traffic lights every 500 yards. Not fun on any bike let alone a Ducati.
The food was excellent. I think we were spoilt with a wonderful starter, a very nice (if too mushroom-y for my taste!) mushroom risotto "second starter" and so by the time the main came round most of us were too full to appreciate the pork belly! The tiramisu was pretty good, although still not a patch on the stuff from the Ducati WSB Team Hospitality, and a good coffee to finish.
Myself and Neal lost Col, Glenn and Steve through the various traffic lights and manic filtering (which I do every day so have no problems with but appreciate others may not be so keen!) and I had to stop on the way back for petrol but also did a quick stop before to don my waterproofs as we hit a small shower - to be honest I probably could have got away without them as it was dry the rest of the way home.
Great company, great food but just a shame the ride in and out was pants! That Panigale sounds awesome and it sure does look pretty too. Not really the roads to test it on either. |
