...staring out across the sweeping arc of the bay of Naples, the hazy bulk of Vesuvius squatting menacingly behind. Sipping a girly drink and thinking of..... Well, not thinking of you feckers for a start. Thinking of tomorrow and a long anticipated visit to the cemetery at Monte Cassino. I wandered into the skanky little mini market you find just around the corner from all posh hotels hereabouts and the geezer behind the counter is reading a bike magazine. Hello, I thought, here's a chance to strike up a bit of international detente. "Do you think Rossi will win at Mugello? " I asked. He looked at me for the first time since I came in and clocked a whole crate of Coke with their lids off and a suspicious funnel stuck in one of them. "Viv Vale." He said. "But Marquez.....He juste too fast." I looked at pictures on the wall behind him of him and various bikes. The last of which was him stood behind a 954. "Your bike?" "Si. Fire-a-blade-a." "I have the same bike." Huge grin. "You Englizi. Come watch Castello Donnington weeth me. I especially love your TT..." It's so universal guys. The end to all international strife. Get a fecking FireBlade.
