Manx kitten chases Idefix The Manx kitten, that Italian TT Racing babe, Francesca Romana Giordano, is off to save the world with the help of Idefix. Idefix is not the dog from Asterix and Obelix, but rather a 37ft sailing yacht that she plans to sail around the world, building networks of like minded people and spreading the word about a World Future Council of respected wise elders, pioneers and youth leaders. The Italian speed daemon says that our governments are going flat out towards a sharp bend but are afraid to take their foot off the accelerator with the other countries racing close behind. If we slam on the breaks now and change direction, we might be able to make it, otherwise we risk crashing off the track and that would be a very painful experience for everyone. If she gets her boat, one of the first places she would like to sail is the Isle of Man for the next TT races and you never know what might happen next. But first she needs to sell her bike. The Yamaha YZF 750 is the one she raced in the 1995 Italian Sport Production, 1995 Trofeo d'Estate, Varano, (Italy), 1996 Ulster Grand Prix and in the August 1996 Superbike in Zolder, Belgium. The bike has received extensive press coverage in the major papers. It is still in excellent condition, and would make an excellent collectors item for someone who wants a piece of history. It's currently for auction on eBay (item 4565037290) with a starting bid of just £26,000, anyone interested?.
