[Ducati] Starting age?(was: Insurance ponderings

[Ronald Betts]

Ya know guys, I work at a school for kids that just cant seem to make it 
elsewhere. Alot of them are in constant turmoil.Whether it's there miserable 
home life and constant gang bombardment or the fact that this town has never 
done a thing to keep kids active, put a dirt bike in their hands and things 
change. I have personally been responsible for changing the lifestyles and 
futures of a number of kids looking for a way out of the gang banging. All 
have cleaned up, finished school, have jobs they keep and all now ride 
SportBikes. All have taken the Riding courses and are great riders. I think 
you can never start to early when it comes to the joys and responibilities 
of owning and riding your own Bike.



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