Mark Wilsmore: the tea boy

january 22nd, 2012
verona motor bike expo show
around 6pm

padiglione 5
stand of ace cafe london
(just infront of the triumph's huge stand)

the hall is half empty..
everybody is gone!

i'm about to go too...
there was a train to bergamo (the direct one) leaving in 2 hours or less!

mark was sitting on the side..  next to the wall..  smoking..

the paparazzi in me....  woke up!
picssss!!!


and i get closer

in order to show him

i dont exactly remember why....

but we started talking about his trip to the u.s.  ..to bonneville...  the flats!

a great story about how the guys of the new brough bikes asked him to join the team there...

and about his role of being the team's tea boy...

and bla bla bla... all those details..  and things that people dont know...

and for me, the thoughts on my mind were: wtf wtf...  mark, i gtg!!! 

:)))

anyway...  i knew it that my train wasnt the last one!

i kindly said thanx for the story..  even though we could have stayed there a lot more, just chatting!!

(btw, i have to add here that i just met the guy 2 days before!

him+the rest of the ace cafe team attending verona show!

great men all of them!!! so simple... and nice people...)

soooo...

hugs&kisses with everybody...

mark too..  even though he didnt seem to like it! hehe

fast walking towards the b&b house

(thinking: oh mark oh mark... i lost some time there...)

grabbing my luggage

fast walking back to the expo area

(oh mark oh mark...again)

taking the bus to the train station

(oh mark oh mark)

at the station

shit!!!!

long queue for the ticket...

i try to get infront...

the bitch on the tickets box sends me back!!!

fffffffffffuck... 

i go back...

a guy and a nice lady let me overpass them...

i get my ticket...

i run to the binario...

and..

my train is right there...  but moving!!

wtf!!!!!!!!!!

i just lost it!!!

for a min or 2!

:)))

have u ever seen your train leaving just infront of u????

(like we all have seen in the movies)

and of course...  since i always have to blame somebody...

i was thinking: that bitch...  if only she had let me buy that ticket the first time!!!

cheers!
