I was riding a Ducati 955SP the night I walked a handful of people into a movie premiere at the Cannes Film Festival with no invite, no wristband, no list—just a lot of chutzpah and a fantastic black suit. Think a blond version of Neo in The Matrix, only with sidekicks who looked like an aging Nic Cage and perky Page 3 versions of Margot Robbie. On the way home I nearly learned the meaning of life as the speedo indicated the north side of 160 mph and I realized the chicane at Juan-les-Pins was fast approaching. Tires scrubbing the curb on the wrong side of the road I came to a halt on the far side of life, heart pounding, drenched in sweat.
The feeling was much like the first time I had my prostate tickled by a young lady at a fancy Upper East Side doctor’s office in Manhattan. This was a hell of a lot more fun, though there are parallels to be drawn, as you’ll discover shortly.
