Just in time for Xmas...Bench and Loom are offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ride with Giacomo Agostini, just you and him. I can't afford it, but some lucky bugger can...why have a Steve McQueen replica whatever, when you can ride with a living treasure, one of the greatest motorcycling champions in history?
From the Bench and Loom website:
"Description
Giacomo Agostini is one of the greatest names in the history of competitive motorcycling.
He is the longest reigning champion of grand prix racing to have ever lived. For an astounding 30 years he held the title of the most successful racer of all time until the record fell to fellow Italian Valentino Rossi. With 122 GP wins (including 10 Isle of Man TTs) and 15 World Championships, Agostini’s name is synonymous with victory.
His celebrity status obliges his presence at various international racing celebrations each year, and an admiring crowd is found everywhere he goes. Yet despite his demand, this legend of motorsport does not coach race teams or teach riding courses. Instead, Ago (as he is affectionately known by his legion of fans) chooses to spend his time in privacy with his family in Europe.
Available through Bench & Loom is an exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend a day privately riding with Agostini. Choose between a racetrack or quiet back roads in either California or Spain. The day can be spent one-on-one or with up to four of your friends. The choice is yours.
