You bet! When Matt makes me happy, she's happy.

Seriously, in a nutshell, after the bike jumped a tooth on the front cam pulley during GTL, Matt gave me a hand fixing it and making sure it was all right. I not only raced for the rest of the day, I was immediately confident that the bike was good to go. Matt really knows Ducs, and it was a huge relief that he was up at RA, and, as always, ready and willing to lend a hand.

So, a huge thanks to Matt! (yet again!)

Now, if only I could remember to put gas in the bike before every race...

Um, Jim, I know you and I had some contact around T-4 this wekend but I didn't think I hit you hard enough for this type of a change!  (BTW - sorry about that, I didn't expect you to take such an inside line through T-4 and I was drafting past with so much speed I was committed to the line  - I had to lean into you to avoid being pushed into the grass at 140+ mph).

I have to say that am most happy that Matt didn't turn a wrench or alter a setting on my bike all weekend at Road America.  The motor he built this winter ran great - reliable power and incredibly smooth delivery.  I am also thrilled with the suspension - Matt re-built the suspension this winter and set it to a baseline at his shop knowing my weight and how I ride.  I have not turned a knob since it left Ducati of Indianapolis and at this point it is just about perfect.  Thanks Matt!
