I'd like to introduce myself, I am Al Leathers, 55 years old, and passionate about motorcycling in general and Ducati in particular. I had wanted a Ducati for years, especially after reading Hunter S. Thompson's "Song of the Sausage Creature". When the 1098 was introduced in 2007 I had to have one. So my stable now consists of a Ducati 1098S ("Sophia") and a Honda ST1300 ("Gladys"). I have the bug for a Ducati 1200 Multistrada S to replace the ST1300 but we will have to wait a bit on that one...
I work for a Federal agency and have lived in Northern Virginia since '86 and married my high school sweetheart Karen in '97. I have one son who lives nearby and is quite a good rider on his Yamaha R1. I had a blast at VIR with MAD in Oct 2009 on the Full Course for 2 days. Going to attend the MotoGP at Indy next month. Thanks for listening.
I'm going to beat Paula for a change.
Welcome Al. You've already found us in CAM. Looking forward to meeting you on Tuesday.
Welcome Al, glad you already hooked up with the CAM folks. [thumbsup]
You'll find we love bike pictures here, so feel free to show off Sophia and/or Gladys if you like. ;D
have fun at Moto GP! [moto]
Welcome, another MAD refugee (I kid) joining up.
How's the anti litter-sign campaigning going?
