Its coming around quick isn't it! A burst of activity yesterday saw my 'new' front mudguard t-cutted and laquered. The paint may not match but at least I won't have to insult the assembled glitteratti with a T8 with a knackered piece of bodywork!

It'll be where we land. I'll try to be there early enough to do a bit of car park attendant stuff.

Great day !! And nice to put a few faces to my fellow 888 owners !!!

Big thanks to Rob for sorting it, John Hackett for hosting it (nice pizza and fresh coffee !), and the big man upstairs for bringing the sun out !!!

Great seeing the 'sedici being fired up (cant believe someone has actually BOUGHT that - exactly how it finished last seasons race at Motegi !!!) and fascinating listening to John on how it rode round Mallory !!!

Some flash harry SP4 owner will be along shortly to tell you about John Hackett giving him a corse fleece for best bike - lol !! Congrats mate ;>)

Small moment on the way back down the (empty) fosse way - gave it a right handful to clear the cobwebs and my ruddy satnav came off the bracket !!! Luckily it wedged in front of the instruments so no harm done.

See you all soon

Nat

Another set of thanks to Rob for organising it and for John Hackett for his generous hospitality. I'm not sure if John got a lot of sales out of the day but he certainly got a room full of smiles when he started the 990. If he'd revved it any higher I think those fairings hung from the ceiling would have blown off their hangers!

First thanks to John and the team for the great welcome, hospitality and 'sedici entertainment, and second, for all of you for turning out and making it a great day. It's aways great to meet folks that we chat to via the boards, more so, surrounded by great bikes and in glorious weather.

Should we do it again next year?

Regards,

Rob

[JHP John]

Well that for me was a really great day seeing all of those great bikes and getting to meet more real Ducati enthusiasts it really was a pleasure, thanks to all that came especially Rob for his efforts.
It goes without saying you are all always welcome to drop in for a coffee anytime.
Best regards and safe riding JH

[AL900SL]

A great day out and my thanks to Rob for organising it and to John for hosting us and making us feel so welcome. I must say I am always made to feel welcome at JHP. To top it all Mrs R had finished laying the slabs on the patio when I got home.
It just don't get better.
Cheers
