Ducati Days

Received a letter from Ducati inviting me to a Promo day at Silverstone.
Selling their wares to me no doubt and with a range of Ducati focussed trade
stands.

The track is open and one can indulge in a sesh. There will be a seperate
Parade Lap behind safety cars.

All well and good, but hold on there seems to be a catch. They want ME to
pay £495 for the pleasure of being sold to and a part track day. And they
want ME to pay another £100 to join a Parade Lap.

<shakes head>

Might have more luck just calling me and trying to sell Glencore shares or
Herbalife

Fucking idiots.

 

I can only agree. If that price included two nights in a hotel, meals
and wine included, it just *might* be worth it.

 

For £149 you can do a full trackday at Silverstone. On Easter Monday.

Looks like there's still places (just), and Nige *might* have room in a
van down from the frozen North.

 

Well, it's a full weekend and not a single day.

And given a single trackday at Silverstone costs £150, 2 days of
California Superbike School, all meals, and the rest of the Ducati
pretentious wank, it doesn't seem too bad a price.

The parade lap is taking the mick though. £100 to sit in a traffic
jam being blasted in the face by someone's open Termigonis.

 

And a guest has to pay 50 fucking quid to come and just watch other
over-moneyed idiots circulate slowly round the circuit. That's more
expensive than a full day's spectating at a MotoGP or WSB event. Anyone
who attends is a ****, simple as.

they churn out)

 

I just can't figure the angle, why would anyone.
If the whole shebang was free (bar the track day) I'd think twice about
wasting a weekend

 

Get yourself on the 25th trackday at silverstone with us, there's a spare
place in the B&B £15 for the sunday night.

Nige...

 

Yep, i even have room in the B&B, my mate cant do it....

Cant wait.

 

Not something I'll be doing after spending serious wedge on my ST

 

Bring another pile of shit then...

 

Yeah, the last thing you want to do with a bike when you've got it just
right is ride the fucking thing.

 

Because they get a tshirt with 'DUCATI' written on it.

That's like catnip to those fuckers.

 

hehehe - ducati undercrackers...you couldnt make it up.

 

I bet antonye's already got a drawer full.

 

He's even got ducati trainers

 

*twitch*

25th of when? Details?

 

This month, easter monday, focused events, silverstone - bang at it like a
tramp on chips.

 

If you cut him in half it'd say DUCATI down his innards like a stick of
rock.

 

25th of April, Easter Monday.
