Men and Motors TV - Bike Aloud2 - Ducati Centopassi prog

Old hat I know for 2004 and I think the 2005 challenge has been advertised on here as well already - but todays program featured the 2004 event quite well.

Some of the Italian roads looked STUNNING !!!

The presenter is obviously and a good rider but it was still funny seeing someone onboard a 1000DS Multistrada going around a corner, foot out, supermoto styleee.

Ooops - sorry - looks like it was the last showing of that episode:

Saw this on TV last week, me and Lily were commenting on how great the roads and scenery looked, dunno how good it would be on a sports bike, but would be great fun on an MS or supermoto on those roads

Watched the programme this afternoon.
Fantastic scenery, very similar surroundings and roads that I went on 2 years ago. In Andorra, on my old trust worthy 748.
Had a great time. But it did not cost me 700 euros.

Missed that episode but think the rider was Chris Moss, big fan of the Multistrada, he crashed one in front of the Ducati staff!!!!!

The bikes aloud episode on the 19th Jan (and repeated that week) shows Mossy returning to despatch riding as he spends a day working for us, fouling everything up and being abused by the controller and clients. I suspect most of what i said about him will be edited out!

He actually used to be a good courier, but not for the purposes of the programme!

I saw it last week. That whole leg out in front thing looks precarious on tarmac with a bike that size. However, I thought overall it looked bl00dy fantastic but I reckoned it would be quite hard work on a 996.

I was wonderng who the rider was too. He was obviously getting a huge buzz out of it all. But crashing in front of the Ducati staff!!!!! That's sooo last year - wouldn't you say, WJB?

I thought they made it fairly clear that the prize was all but unattainable. And they did major on map reading skills, which virtually disqualifies me from the get go.

Still ... if a few people wanted to go, amongst them some people who can read maps, and we were back in time for TA 4. ..
