 I
like this picture. All of these cowls just lying around in the Shell Advance
Paddock. I was talking with one of the technicians about these seats and
he said that just a seat cowl was worth about 15,000 US Dollars because
they are made of some special honeycomb kevlar material. He allowed me
to hold some of the bodywork and it was just so light, unbelievable. What
a nice guy he was, we were talking for a while and then I noticed there
was some damaged bodywork lying around from a NSR 500V, I asked him as
a joke if I could have this and he said " I guess it would be OK
" so I picked it up and was about to thank him deeply and run away
before he changed his mine when another crew technician stepped in and
took back the cracked seat cowl. Too bad !! That would have been the best
souvenir. But I still wanted to thank this nice technician for trying.
What a great guy !! |
