Well it was justified. It was the last AMA race for the Ducati Factory team in 2006, and the Suzuki team wanted to boycot the race. I was hanging out in the pits with the team and Bryan. So Beth and I wanted to start some shit with the Suzuki riders . Better judgement prevaled and we had a race!

Was thinking the same thing on both counts, Scout. I am a VR fanboy to the core but one race don't mean the boss is back. And Dovi and Cal brawling would be AWESOME!

I bet sometime this year Dovi and Crutchlow get into a fight!  I love watching those two race.

i guess we will have to start wishing for rain on race days. She sure looks good in the rain ( Rossi did too ). Hopefully this is beginning of a good relationship.

Starting it for short periods of time is a bad idea..... Scout's suggestion of starting it and letting it get up to temp isn't bad but if you don't let it get hot you're just pumping damp air into your crankcase and letting more condensation build up in there than you would if you just let it sit all winter.  If it gets hot enough the moisture will boil off and you won't have that problem but I think most people recommend not starting periodically.  I'm no expert but that's what I do (except when I just have to listen to the exhaust and clutch.... then I have to go start the bike up too )

A little tickle of sea foam in the gas tank before storage wouldn't hurt either. For that matter a tickle of it anytime wouldn't hurt anything. It'll keep things from getting all funky and gunky. Once I run this tank of gas out, I'll add a little to see how it works. I know that stuff did wonders for my riding mower.

Heated Jacket!!!!  Really, sounds like a BMW thing.  Next thing you know guys are going to be talking about if Rizoma or Speedymoto makes the nicer accessory plug nounting bracket!   Then 1199time is going to post a picture of one and....... then I will have to get one and explain why I "have to have" this specific part.
