. AMA Willow Springs ............................

. 10/1/00


Iwouldn't bet a month's salary on this, but I suspect this is Ben's new girl. Ben got chased down by an autograph hound while next to Eric's ride. Moments after signing his name, Ben is whisked away by the alleged girlfriend. Later on, we catch her rolling around on the "girlfriends" cart.

"Hello, class. Welcome to Stalking 101. First, find your 'objective'"... "Then carefully, silently, move into position..." "When you get close enough, slam your 'assets' up in his grill. Class dismissed!" What this photo shoot says: Ducati people don't know that there are special bikes that people ride in the dirt. Yeah, they're called dirt bikes.
The photographer kept making Ben ride past the camera. He's pulling a u-turn to make another pass by the camera. Nothing like a slow ride in full leathers in 100 degree heat to make you wish you were a podiatrist. The next Ducati ad campaign: Women with giraffe necks and the racer boys who love them. A shot of warm whiskey is the way to jumpstart any ride. Look for girlfriend along the right.
Ben rode 11 for the race. It was a great ride till turn 4 ejected him like candy from a nitro- enhanced Pez dispenser. Eric's row of bikes look like a department store window display. Meet my new Italian sweetheart: Pierfranceso, aka "Frankie." Moto, moto charismatic. In the continued possibility that Ben's lawyer contacts me, I'm practicing some stalking moves on Aaron Yates, who told me to dump Ben!
And just in case Aaron tells me to go to hell, I'm practicing some moves on Steve Rapp. See his excellent crash video. Some of the Ducati Riders Club boys taking a break from beer drinking and barbecuing. Proof for FDR that his "posse" was at Willow and not in Vegas at a topless revue. I didn't know what a transponder looked like until I came across this little guy.
