I am pretty sure he was winding hard as the passing zone was short and he tucked as he pulled out. I suprisingly stayed very close to him with my old 500cc Interceptor. What gives? Are these older Ducatis dogs? I occasionaly watch the classified ads for used Ducatis, but I would have assumed the 900's were a big bunch faster than my old 500. We had a blast chasing one another thru the twisties at a somewhat cautious pace.

this was my first bike! i had the one with the maroon colored tank. cannot for the life of me remember the year. GREAT BIKE! for the record, i had a 70something CB pass me in the twisties on that bike. the dude was dragging his crankcase on the turns. it was a sight to behold. if i had to guess, i would say you were the better rider.
