23 miles may not seem like a long way, but that’s the mileage I clocked up while walking round the Eicma show in Italy, gawping at everything 2017 has in store – if only I had a bike to ride round there...
Not only were my feet sore, but I returned with hardly any voice left, my ears tired from everything I’d heard and my hands sore from all the hand shaking I undertook. It was a real fillip to see how enthusiastically I was greeted by manufacturers of bikes and bits alike – all on behalf of you guys, Fast Bikes readers. I returned from the show invigorated about how respected you all are – and how these manufacturers are desperate to reach you to show off their kick-ass products. I’ve never doubted it, but you guys rock!
