Good call Moley..

Try this link to the Eventbrite ticket site. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/itali...eventpassword=

Just click on "tickets" in the green box.

Register your bike by emailing events@thesharnbrookhotel.com giving your name, contact number and bike make and model.. Ducati Monster obviously!

I will be in touch with Ciro to see if we have a designated display area for Monsters.

MV is the guest motorcycle marque. Ciro is planning to have a line of MVs along the front of the hotel.

You all know where the Sharnbrook is now, so let's go back and make a show...

Just booked my ticket.
If you've never been, it's a great way to spend an afternoon, wondering around lambos, Ferraris, Bugatti's etc.
The bikes are interesting as well!
Who fancies riding in as a group?

They open the gates to spectators at 11am and they like the exhibits in place before then.
I will have to have another try at asking Ciro if we can have a Monster area.

I was going to make my own way down across country from Huntingdon, turning off the A14 to Easton and eventually going through Risely (twinned with Mordor) and coming onto the A6 via that curly little B road. (part of one of the Weekender runs I think)

Would a meet in Huntingdon be practical?

That's very practical......
We can use another road which leads to the ' curly little B road ' rather than the A14.

I'm staying on the Saturday night, might have to sneak the bike into my room so I can give it a hose off in the shower so she's clean for the show .

Great to see Grumpy and Moley again. Good to see Doggy again, but in the MV camp today.
The MVs were all very nicely turned out and they made a nice display.

Ciro has tried to get more Italian bikes into the show this year and Ducati were well represented. Monsters comprised a fair number of them and the cards were out in force, so possibly a few new members coming up?

One very nice lady from the MV club actually asked me for a card, as well as an MV, she also has a tricolore S4RS and wants to get to some of our club meets. She's from Melton Mowbray, so looking forward to meeting her again and seeing her Monster. Donington maybe?

Once again there were plenty of Lambos and Ferraris. A long row of Alfas was like walking down the shopping list for my next Alfa(dribble!)… A far cry from what I'm driving now after a certain young lady wrote my last car off!!..

There was a different atmosphere this year. It's nice that the show is changing and growing. Well worth the ride over.
