Oh my yes, that'd be me. First time in Paignton all year I didn't see Shawn's bike. It was gleaming down there though (sorry Shanks). Packed out, they were even parking on the grass, the sea front was totally full. Never seen so many Ducatis in one place before. The ringing of dry clutches was like the biggest tambourine band solo ever. The guy from GT Motorcycles fired up the Panigale for me. At tickover I had to shout over it to talk to him. How is that legal!? I even rode down and back with three other guys. I feel so decadent, I was in a gang! I didn't like it riding how they wanted rather than how I wanted to. I can only be reasonable for so long if I'm not getting my own way. A very large police presence too. They really don't like it if you wave to them do they...
Yeah I'll have to watch out. They were a good bunch though and the craic was good. The Blade just fancied stretching its legs a bit more on the way home.
