Thundersprint

[haga lout]

v4

Just got back from a couple of hours wandering round, the new Aprilia V4 IS sat there on its stand, complete with video and AC~DC soundtrack. Looks stunning, if you like that sort of thing. Had a ride out on the Dorsoduro 750, big mistake. Credit card currently locked away in case I do anything silly.

I thought I'd just pop down & see what was happening, but at the end of the cavalcade, the police let us out onto the road & we followed the classics & JT back to the marshalling area to park up.

All in all, a lovely day out & with a couple of useful trade stands there, as well.

 

[Andrew B]

Thats me and Mrs B on number 291 - excellent day out again with the possible exception of the 4.30am out of bed!!

 

[Flipfly]

Gonna have to stop carrying those half inflated spare innertubes in my jacket, they are just not doing my profile any good at all

[MattW]

look trick riding

Nice shots

From inside the fence?

 

[barksworld]

nope through fence wide apperture
having seen some of the "press" ones inside will see if i can get a pass for next year. one guy i spoke to was showing me his camera and said how much better it was than his phone camera!!! it was a basic slr with 50 lens , need to be riding passenger to get decent shot so if this is standard my brownie box camera should be ok!

Cool

Unfortunately I couldn't get close to the fence, so all my race shots are 'fency' - I'll have to get to a good spot earlier next year
