[Ducati] NDC: Don't pass at the Gap

[Don Ross]

"In this great country, you're free to do anything you want until a $5 million study over ten years finds, shock & horror, that an activity is lethal to others as everyone already knew. oh, and then the industry lobbyists beat back any attempt to regulate said activity."

I wish that whole "they're gona kill us" thing was branded into   
cagers' pinheads. maybe they'd look out for us more if they thought   
it meant Up Close and Personal Bodily Trauma if they crossed us.

This AM, some idiot yakking on a cellphone glued to her ear blurted   
out from her jambed up lane into the 50mph flow HOV lane  - and then   
stopped while half-blocking my path, and I'm thinking maybe she still   
hadn't SEEN me, so maybe she's going to pull across my lane and over   
to the median to stop. Hard to plan an escape around. Anyway, same   
story, different day, so I'l spare ya the details. Sufice it to say   
that I was adrenalized enough that it was all I could do to not kick   
her mirror off.  Geez, what's a hands free kit cost, $10?!  In this   
great country, you're free to do anything you want until a $5million   
study over ten years finds, shock & horror, that an activity is   
lethal to others as everyone already knew. oh, and then the industry   
lobbyists beat back any attempt to regulate said activity. ok, i feel   
better now! Thanks for listening  :)

Thx also for the 999 PCIII map advice. I was afraid a dyno session   
was in order to do it right. Anybody have any prefs for SF or EastBay   
shops who do good dyno work? Desmoto didn't have a dyno last time I   
checked, and Munroe uses Scuderia West down the street.
