So that's why you gone Deutsche then H, you got fed up with waiting for the Ducati technician to keep up

Mood: R U thinking what I'm thinking?......Oh dear!
The introduction of traction control in AMA isn't gonna help Ducati. Their problem appears to simply a lack of power due to the fact that tuning to the levels allowed in WSB are not allowed in AMA. IMHO.

The AMA championship is a bit of an oddball in that it doesn't have the same spec bikes as WSB/BSB and other domestic championships? Don't most of the good ole boys circuits go anti clockwise as well?? i.e more lefts than rights.

Would be very interesting to see Hodgeson back in WSB alongside Troy B to see what a few years in AMA have done for him??

AMA produced Nicky H who has done well on the world scene, did Kocinski come from AMA?? IMHO there is a lack of depth in the current field. B Boz looked like a good prospect years ago but has gone off the boil now????

is Colin Edwards ex AMA???

Ray.
