Just because you've got money and can afford nice toys, doesn't mean you can ride.

On an average track day, I see 4 Ducati's out of 150 riders. Even in the Battle of the Twins race's, on average you see 4 Ducati's at one given time. Most Ducati owners are too scared to crash there precious garage queen.

No kidding, most Ducati owners don't know jack shit. They buy Ducati's because they "assume" they're "race bikes" go out there and immediately bin them. Needless to say, guys on inline 4 liter bikes, do the same thing on a more regular basis. Power doesn't mean jack shit, if you don't know how to ride. Hence one reason I race the "smaller" duc's.

I love people who brag. Let'em keep braggin' until they can't afford to race anymore because of how many times they've crashed, trying to keep up. I'm not fast, but I win by being consistent!

British Superbike 2008 First place
World Superstock 1000 2008 First place
World Superbike 2008 First place
Moto GP 2008 2nd place

Thats a pretty good resume for 2008. You do know that the 1098RS/F08 which was run in WSBK/BSB was substantially under powered and heavier then the Japanese bikes that followed it.
