[Ducati] motogp spoiler (but Don't miss this race)

[Ronald Betts]

Thanks for the kind words Steve. I too used to race but it was Flat Track 
and distrist 38 AMA Hare and Hounds. Believe me courtesy was never an issue 
when it came to passing someone let alone those desert starts. I cant tell 
you how many times I came home with some pretty, square shaped bruises on my 
torso after a fall and being used for traction. I guess I'm just getting 
used to watching aggresive passing in Road Racing. That is not to say that I 
dont like it because I love it. My point was to bring out the fact that the 
only chance Val had at that stage was to get a little aggresive and I was 
wondering if anyone noticed....;-}>. Anyway we needed a good banter session, 
keeps the mind thinking and blood flowing through these ole (53) veins. You 
Guys Rock !

Peace...Ron"Desmohead"Betts 95 900 SP
I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it!
