I'm out. Last time I went I rode up 310 miles to and from the week before lol. Good job it was summer. Always a nice evening to go too though.

I went to this a couple of years ago.
Was a great evening.
I got to chat with the very genial Chaz Davies and to inspect his Panigale at extremely close quarters in the pit garage.
Not to mention the Italian food.

I even got the Pirelli guys to plug my punctured rear tyre.

On the offchance that there are places left unfilled, I'd go again.
But obviously would defer to first timers.

Tempted, I like Tiramisu.

Anyone else? post here or pm me.

Albie · 12-05-2018, 11:44 AM

No takers. I'm shocked. Still can't go even though I would love to meet Chaz. Think he was riding for bmw when I went to one.
If anyone could get me a signed poster I would be pleased. Top bloke.

Grumpy · 12-05-2018, 12:12 PM

I agree with Smithy. Great evening out.
I went last year, the team are very accommodating.
If commitments weren't in the way, I would go.
Guys take up the offer!

NewMon · 12-05-2018, 05:20 PM

I would like to go if possible. I also went the same year as Utopia - it was very good.

Christy · 14-05-2018, 03:18 PM

I went last year. It was excellent. I didn't want to leave. I offered to sweep up wash the truck etc

We had loads of time with Chaz and Marco and the food was excellent!
