Now, where's my P&O contact number.....

I mean, I like him and all, but honestly

I thought there were no more V11s, but there among all the Brevas, Grisos and Norges are the venerable old V11 models still listed. What gives?

I had a sit on the new Paul Smart 1000 Ducati today..... Pity about the huge ugly black cans though.

Pity about the huge ugly black cans though.

 

 

I bet they're beacause of the Euro 3 specs bull thing.

Ferry all booked . Out 9th September, return 24th September. We're making another two week tour of it after having such a fantastic time this year. Fingers crossed, it looks as though my little bruv is coming with us on one of his Ducati's, so a trip to Mandello and Bologna awaits us - roll on 2006!

[Guest lexV]

I've looked in all the obvious places but can't find any mention of an 'official' event taking place in Italy next year to celebrate the factories 85th birthday  . The actual anniversary is in March sometime. Can anyone help please?

Well if I go I will be camping so not worried about booking accomodation for any dates- just need to book the ferries.

 

Will probably ride down there in two days and back the same.

There seems to be a lot of interest in going to Mandello, so why don't we make our own date and go - providing it's not in August I'm sure we could encourage the factory to welcome us - a group of forum-ites who want to visit their Alma Mater! I like Guzzirider's poise of going in two days - a fancy blat through France, Germany, Austria and into Mandello - coupla/three days there and then a similar blast back, by a different route - perhaps Switzerland, southern France and up through France, or maybe down into Spain and back from Bilbao to Portsmouth - a 36 hour mini cruise.

 

Any interest? If so, I'm happy to investigate options and provide some dates, then go ahead and book ferries. A small group (three or four) could lodge 'on the hop', camping/boarding wherever we stop for the night - more might require a bit of pre-booking. Either way, if anyone's interested let me know - more than happy to make the necessaries.

Living only an hour from the Hull ferry I would normally catch this one but I could stay overnight at my Mum's in Bishops Waltham which is only 20 mins from the Pompey ferry.

 

Will have to wait until I return to work in Feb to make sure I can have time off but I am up for it- will probably camp at Mennis.
