Watchin the two seater Ducati GP bike at the weekend, i heard loads of rumours of how much it cost...some said it cost 2.5 grand and another bloke said nearly 4

So what you reckon? and would you be up for it?

I'd blinking love it....apart from the fact i think Randy Mamola is awesome...just how scared and excited would you be if this happened to you

It would be awesome, proper buzz!

It looked awesome, I watched it on the Esses and when it came up the straight, would love to do it.

I feel sorry for the rider - touches the brakes and waits for the smack on the back of the bonce - every time. lol

Would be a pretty cool experience though...

I would probably cry if that happened to me!

I heard Randy Mamola speaking about it last years Moto GP, they deliberately target celebs who have an interest in biking cos they tend to give the most cash for the riders for health fund that he helped to set up, I heard you could get on for a grand, but if Ewan or Charlie walked up and offered him twenty who,d get the ride ?

Yeh they did seem to raise quite a bit. do they get to keep the leathers? I seem to remember they use to do something similar back in the day with a 2 seater F1 car i think...bit before my time tho.

I have to say snuggled up to randy on a bike aint that bad...really funny bloke

I always thought it was about a grand, but I guess it depends on how many people bid for each place. IIRC they auction the rides off at Day of Champions

Last few years they seemd to get 2 laps on the back whereas this year they only seemed to get one.

If I had the spare cash I'd definately do it, what an experience.

Shows how good a rider Mamola is, one year it was lashing it down when he was doing the laps and he was still popping wheelies with unfamiliar / nervous / terrified pillions on the back.

Look at the pillion in that pic their feet arent anywhere near the pillion pegs awesome...
