Been riding since I was about 11 yrs of age after pleading with Dad to take me to see 'On Any Sunday'. It must have worked because shortly after he bought me a bike!
Since then had trail bikes, motocrossers, roadbike, and racebikes.
Currently have a Ducati 851. Bought in '91, turned into a racebike in '95, recently restored and just for fun built and installed a 955 engine with titanium rods, 3/4 race cams, twin injectors, Motec, etc.
130 rwhp 185 kg
Also have a '97 996 Corsa racebike, 1 of 20 built by Ducati that year and distributed to race teams around the world. I bought it in '99 and raced it for 2 yrs culminating in '00 World Superbike round at Phillip Island. Awesome bike. 142 rwhp 162kg
Retired in '00 due to combination of birth of little guy in first photo, and getting too old to fall off anymore.
I'll be happy if racing the GT40 will provide 80% of the thrill of bike racing with 20-30% of the risk.
Cheers
