thanks for that JP. Sorry I didn't get more time to talk with you, but enjoyed our little race on the circuit! Yours was probably the most sorted H2 on the track. Very Happy

certainly did - the pedigree Bimota handling got me to the front in just over a lap and the Mantra led for the next one and a half laps. Hopefully Ian (Crankcase) caught it on video.

I have the evidence, bit shakey but here it is, stills from the vid:







I was waiting for the wheelies and stuff . .

the real reason for a Ducati parade, at least the Mantra does have a bit of a Ducati.

Don't mind, just discovered on sunday you were there too.
But we will have the time on a next rally, triples rally or Bimota rally Cool

Nice one Gaz. You look like the camera man stuck out front of the Tour de France!

never again Paul! 60mph (max) with fuel stops every 60 miles Shocked
great bunch though, and those that rode their H2's there and back deserve a medal.

Live and learn - they looked and sounded great. I followed two guys on UK H2's on my way to the airport Monday for a few miles to enjoy the sound. I think one of their wives was behind in a big white transit just in case!

Hope you enjoyed the track - scene of my last 3 day track day, a few years back. Its immense. Wish they would bring back the 24 hour racing.

Glad to hear you had a good time with your "other" mates Garry, and had plenty of time for strong coffee breaks also. Mantra conquers the World, yours has certainly been to a lot of the places...Next Continet on the agenda?

not planning another continent yet - still got the European part of the Med to finish. Then there is the Baltic Bash. The Mantra has, so far, motored across 15 different countries whilst in my possession. A forum record I doubt will ever be equalled. Very Happy
Now - do I know anyone in Spain......................... Wink
