I will fill in some blanks as went with Blackness It was a great crack, great to meet blackness thanks for driving buddy! Also went with The Wombleator and Jim Green and met SPS at the show as he took the train (wise move with the traffic coming home) we all spent a fortune, I bought a new x-lite carbon lid so did Womble, Blackness bought the whole show I think! Some real good bargains to be had on last years kit tbh worth going if your after some gear. Quite a few of Rossi's bikes on show which were worth seeing
I sat here typing for ages last night just for it to crash on me As i was saying... Had a great day.. Grabbed Lamby, Womble and Jim and blasted up to Excel and hooked up with SPS. All a bloody nice bunch of blokes !! We did the usual mooching around trying on the latest finery of machines on offer for size.. The only bike that stood out and was really special i have to say, and Womble will agree, was the Aprilia RSV4RR Factory whatever malarky ! It is so so beautiful ! Perfect in every way... And so so trick ! It fitted me really well, which was surprising as I'm not exactly small and it is Italian... I am seriously tempted, so we'll see what autumn brings The normal array of dealer and bargains to be had, and a nice display of Rossi's bikes, which is always great to see ! All was going well... Then it happened ! Lamby spotted the Police stand and hurriedly rummaged through his bag like a man possessed and this "may" have been the result... With the in breed naughtiness that man was blessed with, and like a well oiled machine, the group went in to provide cover, and even the Wombleator had a stare out with a random onlooker as diversion tactics as a mystery hand "may" have planted another May i add at this point, that i had absolutely nothing to do with any of this and can't condone such violation of Police property Personally, during all this i was taking full advantages of the fine fashions available ! 1 Alpinestar's Atem one piece, 1 pair of GP Pro gloves, and of course, a matching pair of Supertech R's... I am so happy with this kit that its never coming off ! (The dog was thrown in to sweeten the deal, but as much as it matches, it has to go !)
Also chatted with Oberon and may have sorted a group buy bargain deal on their new range of clutch slave cylinders Watch out for an announcement !
hahaha brilliant! soo wish I could have just flown down for this one.. just too busy at work just now but there will be a road trip coming!!! and Oberon Clutch slave.. sounds interesting!
Bought lever guards and blagged £32 off with my "get out of jail free" card And there was also some lovely looking new models
Shame mate... Yep, after a bit of sweet talking, i arrived at a sensible suggestion of a price for us boys and Mr Oberon seemed to be in agreement I will be reminding him...
They are under development and gonna be available soon mate ! I will make an announcement as i want one bad !!
I think they were £750 in the end... I wore the guy down as best i could until he was nearly crying, going on about his dad is gonna kill him and they are making no profit blah blah Screwed him down to around £250 for the Supertechs and £120 for the GP Pro's
Fashion Statement their Mr G. Love the pics, how long after you got home did you get your kit on....... LOL. And thanks for today........... Being the plonker I am, I left my IPhone in Mr G's car, but we sorted it today and I'm now back in possession of my means of communication. Great day was had with G, Womble, Lamb Chops and SPS. Two weeks tomorrow and I can pick up the new Repsol............ Oh this wait is agonising. Thanks for a great day guys, and a big thanks to Mr G for getting my phone back to me from the Isle of Wight to Portsmouth. Personally.......... I think all Ducati's should come as standard with a Lambchops sticker........ LOL. Jim
No problem at all mate ! I gave it about an hour after i got in before i got into my alter ego and let the mrs get all fizzy with the look and smell of fresh kangaroo in the air... Fits beautifully with the Knox armour vest thing i got and just need to get my guys a Hills4leather to take in a tiny bit around the waist and arse, so i'll be onto them monday... Haven't taken it off yet and she was moaning all night about the knee sliders kept scratching her leg in bed Hopefully make it up for the Repsol presentation ceremony Jim if i get the bitch back together in time !
LOL...... At least it was just the knee sliders and not the Velcro scratching her, that can be really irritating........... So I've read ! ! ! Looking forward to Repsol presentation, two weeks 1 day..... and counting. Jim
LOL that sticker was nothing to do with me honest!! No Oberon still want your bike Martin, we are talking about buying them when they have used yours for the development.. Mind I dont fancy a slow working repsol clutch..
Don't let em take you alive dude... Either of them !! That helmet does look nice mate ! Would go rather well with my new leathers... Hmmm
