We are all petrol heads and we all love our 131's.  But we do have to give credit where credit is due, particularly to beautiful machinery like this Ducati.  Just the way those hand crafted unobtanium hedders make their way to the mufflers is a work of art.  My hat is removed and my torso is bent over ! Respect to the motorbike.

Whilst I adore my 131 Racing and would never part with her, I do also like my other interests in cars/motorosport.  So for those who love 'art', here is a picture of my current project..............426 cubic inches ( 7,000cc ) of pure nitromethane sucking madness..............

I am very much into bikes :) ;) However I would not consider buying one; too many horror stories / experiences  :( :( With regards to racing, provided that I on the right side of the safety fence watching them, what a fantastic sport. I will get to a few British and European rounds this year. For the opening round of the British Superbike today at Brands Hatch, I will have to make do with the radio  :( :'( as I'm about 3000 miles away and working  :'( :'(
