The Dinner. 10/7/2004
I’m skiving off early today. We’re having dinner with Troy Bayliss, 2001 World Superbike Champion, and currently #12 in the Marlboro Ducati MotoGP team. It’s become an annual affair, this dinner. Last year was the first one that the club organised and typical of everything we do, it fucked up. We managed to lose Loris Capirossi. So this year, we’re holding it in a hotel near the track itself, where the riders are staying. Which means transportation logistics for the guests are simplified. Thank god for that, because if I have to get a Mercedes S320L Panzerwagon to chase 2 turbocharged Porsches down the highway again with police escort, I’m going to puke.
