[Ducati] RE: new ducati

[Alec Moss]

I was talking to one of his passengers at Laguna Seca last year, a woman who
is a pretty good rider - 748, track days, etc - and she said it was an
unreal experience.  He starts off with a wheelie, whips around the track at
85-90% race speed, finishes with a stoppie.  She said, despite her extensive
track experience, that she was totally unprepared for how late and hard he
was on the brakes going into the corners.  She said no matter how hard she
tried to maintain her position on the bike, she was either on his back with
Mamola yelling at her to "get offa me" or trying to keep from falling off
the back of the bike.  The braking and acceleration were extreme to say the
least.
