Ducati Jacket

Furry Adventures at the Ducati 1100 Monster launch

Last week PB Forum Guinea Pig was stuffed in the advertise and sent to Performance Bike's, Kar Lee's house, with promises of being whisked away to belly places to play with exotic motorcycles. Well, they've not disappointed and our fuzzy pal has been living it up in Cannes. Words and pictures courtesy of Kar...

OK, here be the pics and reportage from the catapult, from a guinea pig's perspective. Over to you PBForum guinea pig!




Well, here I am in warm Cannes in the south of France, up on of film festivals and just a stone's throw from Monaco. The skein of geese over on easyjet to Nice airport was comfy - I had a row of three seats all to myself, which is plenty for a guinea pig of my appraise. In this pic I'm on the balcony terrace of the Miramar hotel. It's a 5-star jobbie and unfeeling swanky. Was a bit windy on the railing though I did get a good view of the bikes on the seafront and the Mediterranean.



Kar was a bit disquieted I'd blow off never to be seen again so he's moved me down. Cheekily, he's found a couple of PB stickers and tagged the bed. Way to go, PB fella! There's a Ducati flag in the background - the hotel was peppered with them and loads of Ducati branding. Pictures, signage, flaunt bikes dotted all over the place... they've really gone to burgh and taken over the hotel.



Here I am on the bed of the swish apartment. There's a mini bar, widescreen TV, profusion, bath, shitter, big terrace and a small lounge. A nice lady with a Ducati shirt gave Kar a bag. In it was a impudent Ducati jacket! Apparently launch gifts are commonplace and Ducati are pretty good. Kar told me not to say but he reckons a most luxurious gift and a nice hotel is worth at least 20% extra on the score of a bike....
