Just sorting through some old pictures tonight and found this which I thought I'd share from World Ducati Week 2004 along with a great memory of meeting the one and only Frankie Chili.
He was just strolling in the garage, cool as you like to suit up for some demo laps of misano on his WSB PSG1 999RS and a swarm of people appeared for his autograph and picture.
I had the double buggy and just waited at the back and I was getting a bit pushed around to be honest - it was proper warm too !
I walked off as the kids were getting restless, and later that afternoon he came over out of nowhere and mentioned he saw me queing up and leaving and started to make a fuss of the kids, asking if I'd like some goodies for them and a drink in the paddock !
Missus didnt know whio he was and we were all having a right good old chat!
You dont get that in F1 do you ;>) !!!?
Awesome rider, good looking, and managed a deckchair business in Rimini with his missus out of season. You can go off some people cant you !!?
