We seem to have gone a bit twitter mad as of late! As much as the concept of it really annoys us in one way we are giving in and now updating it , or should that be ‘tweeting’ upto several times a day with all the latest happenings! News, offers, latest bikes, photos or short badly filmed web videos are what you can expect to find! With that the case join us!!!!!
And also the latest happening of the Battistinis California Dreaminn’ Expo can be found on its very own twitter site by simply clicking here: www.twitter.com/BattistinisExpo
So so so then, whats been happening around Battistinis as of late! Well the simple answer is lots! We have been waist deep in building new bikes and time just seems to be flying faster than ever! Even thou with this the case we have managed to make HUGE changes in the showroom!
Its now somehow already one year that we have been in our new home(now not so new we guess) and as things are well under way for a re-shuffle! Over the past couple of days we have been moving the cafe to the front of the shop and god dam is it taking shape and looking good! Its in the final stages of the move and will be fully re-open tomoz with a bigger and better menu than you have ever seen before!!!!!!!
Devizes Westminster International Canoe Race is one of the ultimate tests of endurance. Travelling for 125 miles in kayak or canoe from Devizes to Westminster, it pushes competitors to their physical and mental limits.
This truly is one of the most physically demanding events you could ever attempt, well that is if you are strong enough to even consider the challenge! All of us here may be a little more suited to a bike with two wheels but we do know a couple of folk that have exactly what it takes, with between them have more World Championship kayak medals than we ever will! Ben Brown and Ivan Lawler are entering the race this year in K2 and in our book are odds on to come away with the gold but that’s not all as they are also racing for a great cause being “Right to Play” which all of us have no excuse not to support!
“Right To Play is an international humanitarian organization that uses sport and play programs to improve health, develop life skills, and foster peace for children and communities in some of the most disadvantaged areas of the world. Working in both the humanitarian and development context, Right To Play trains local community leaders as Coaches to deliver our programs in more than 20 countries affected by war, poverty, and disease in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.”
Ben and Ivan are hoping to raise £25, 000, so to help them on there way simply donate through JustGiving: http://justgiving.com/helpbenbrown
Its simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe and they willnever send you any unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
In Ben#s words: “I’m always Tweeting and Facebooking my preparations and will do leading right up to when I go to bed the night before, then one of my support crew will hijack my twitter account to give brutally honest mid-race updates and photos all of Easter Sunday with our finishing time being posted late Sunday evening… so if you don’t have a twitter account, get one!”

Battistinis, Retro Revival Kitty Kat Club Dance Extravaganza . . . . .
Well it may be a couple of days (well okay maybe two weeks) since our last update on this very blog but rest assured that things are far from quiet around the Battistinis camp!
This weekend saw our latest happening in the form of the mighty ‘Battistinis Retro Revival’ that was back with a ‘BANG’ being a ‘Kitty Kat Club Dance Extravaganza’! A massive thankyou to everyone who made it along for the evening as it truly was our best ‘Retro Revival’ ever with more cars, bikes, dancing and good times than ever before! Some stunmning photos from the evening can be seen here: http://adrianlambert.zenfolio.com/battistinis-apr-2011
Where Adrian Lambert our photographer for the evening once again truly captures the spirit of the evening!
Back a couple of months ago when we first moved the evening from the comforts of our very own shop to a better suited venue we heard all the doubters but now after this weekend we are safe in the knowledge that it was one of the best decisions that we made for the event to go from strength to strength and the fun to continue! Roll on Sat May 28th when Retro Revival returns with an event that you WILL NOT WANT TO MISS OUT ON being the official party to the mighty Battistinis California Dreamin’ Expo!
