I think it is in the blood too.

Good point.

My father was a motorcycle engineer, drag racer, speedway, grasstrack and motorcross rider back in the late/60s early 70s. All in the name of developement for the firm that he used to work at in London. So i was brought up on it. All i can say is that i will never forget the smell and sound of a supercharged V twin Vincent running on Methonol with no silencers at Santa pod about to run up the drag strip!!Or the 500 JAP engined speedway bike. Again, with no silencer. those were the days and i was only 4 or 5 years old.

I was raised on bikes and have nearly always had one. I just can not let them go. And believe me i have tried several times. Thing is i have always wanted a Ducati from the first time i laid eyes on the 916. Now i have one i think its the best bike i have ever owned. And im not just saying that!!!

Aint life great!!!!!
