My cast iron 225, 28 delly, Atomic reed block & Taff copy pipe gives me about 50 miles to five litres on the motorway.

70th anniversary Monza

Is anyone doing this? I've been following the process and it seems to be a little disjointed. I'm booked in a hotel near Monza but still haven't bought a ticket for the event as I'm quite happy to see Milan anyway.
