Desmosedici came pass me on the road!!

Was working in Christchurch and on route home was popping into 3 leg cross for some parts, when a Desmosedici came pass me, the weather wasn't too clever either!! It had a trade plate on and drove round to workshop garages and was ridden straight into the garages. My god i could hear her coming for about 3 mins before it turned up! I've been to MotoGp's and heard the real deal (and this was no different!!) What an amazing thing to have produced for the road!

Just a shame i wasn't armed with my camera!

Having sat behind one in traffic for miles on end I can confirm you certainly cant hear anything else over it!

I'm still hoping to see one.

That said, I've still yet to see another 696 on the road too, so I guess they're still pretty rare too...

...I can delude myself

I just saw one in Parkinsons Colchester. It had a sign saying "please don't touch". It should have had one saying "please don't drool" Which is exactly what I was doing! I'm sure I heard on the news recently that they are considering legalising the payment of organ donors. Maybe I can put that kidney on ebay after all......!
