Silent Memory stands at the door and waves folornly at the departing Vders - his SV, despite being blue and therefore the fastest SV in the range just can't compete with the Dukes.
Arriving at Laguna Seca, the lads take to the track. BR stuffs a Fireplace on the first corner, outbraking him by a significant degree, much to the delight of Dervla and the girls who have followed on to watch their heroes.
Animal, RB and DG take the bait, and follow BR's line as Bayliss, Corser and Edwards feck it up big style. The VD boys on their 748s easily outclass the WSB riders, lapping in 59 seconds each to rapturous cheering from the crowd.
Crossing the line together in a display of VD unity, they race down the pit lane four abreast, taking out Carl Fogarty who is being interviewed by Suzi. Deftly, Animal hoists her aloft with one arm and she straddles him for the ride back to the bar.
Foggy tumbles flat on his face, stemming the stream on utter shite emanating from his gob instantly. The crowd go wild. Screeching to a halt outside the Ducati garage, the boys swap their 748s for race tuned 996s and are joined by Neil Hodgson as, en masse, they leave the track and race back to the comfort of the air conditioned bar.
Unfortunately, in their absence, the bar has been taken over by the somewhat dishevelled passnegers of a recently crashed coach. judging by their apearance, the coach must have taken something of a tumble, perhaps going over a cliff. none of the passnegers however has any serious injuries.
SM somehow managed to escape and flags the returnng VDers down. The rest of the VD crowd are stuck inside the bar being held hostage. Blondie and Tazzie are in a panic as the Afterhock is seconds away from running out.
Vanessa Feltz appears at a window as the boys gather together for an 'O' group to decide the best way forward.
Something must be done. But what?...
