Racing is like having a crack habit. Please, will someone shoot me before I end up not having two cents to rub together!!
For all the money I have spent on my Ducati 750SS, I could have bought 2 SV650s. But NOOOO, I had to race a Ducati. ::) Why!!...., because I don't want to race anything else, that's why. I just have to be different! Yep, I am SICK. The only difference between my high and the high a crack-head gets, is that my thrill lasts a whole weekend.
Then there's the excitement of acquiring new drug paraphernalia like New Keihin carbs. (even if they are borrowed) The bike pulls REAL HARD now. It feels like a new bike with these Keihins. I should have gotten them sooner.
I also got a like new rear magnesium Marchesini rim. :D I am no longer restricted to running a 160 rear and can now use any brand tire. Plus, I now have a bigger rear contact patch, Yepee!! So what if I can't run in the SuperSport class anymore, there are plenty others I can race in.

Well, excuse me now while I go stuff my pipe for the up coming weekend.
And you could have bought 4 FZR 400's ;).

Ah, if I only had a crack habbit...
Maybe it would be less expensive...
What was that thread awhile back? Road Racers Anonymous or something? Yeah. he belongs there.
Oh, and I understand about the Keihens. Every true motorcycle junkie should own a set before they die. It's just a shame that with fuel injection and ram air becoming the dominant setup, future generations will never hear the glorious honk of four wide-open bellmouths at redline.
I just want my three wide VM Mikuni's to work... ;D

i think about my addiction all the time, and yes, i'm firmly committed to the belief that it is an addiction.
Then I started wondering--think this addiction is a close relative of gambling addictions? We both spend lots of money up front in the hopes of getting a thrill/rush with the possibility of a return.
333??? Hey! That's my number. >:(
how long you've been 333?
And don't worry, I think i'm due a 2 digit this season. :D
I've been 333 for four seasons. I could have taken a double digit, but I really love my number. We've had a lot of ups and downs together. Pun intended... ;)
