they have the video posted now on the site, and hopefully will make the typo corrections in the web story in a day or so.

all-in-all, great awareness for LDD2008.

note to self: loose 20 lbs ... i look like a fat fcuk on the tube 

I saw you on TV last night.

I finally know a celebrity... WOOT 

La Ducati Club? Leave it to Vic Lee and KGO to get their facts wrong...again Or is that something you made up on the fly John? 

But yeah, good publicity...I think.

vic and his crew did the club name ... i emailed the producer a correction list with all the typos and incorrect data pointed out for the web posting on the abc7news.com site ... hopefully they might make the edits. 

plus, they edited the crap out of my interview ... i had some good points about rider safety training, using track days rather than risking it all on the streets, etc ... but they only used the sensationalistic comments .. oh well, i guess that's how news works.

i am hoping this will be good awareness for LDD2008 ... would be great to get more riders to attend the event this year.

a presto,
johnc

I think that is exactly how the news works.  I was also once interviewed on local news and had the exact same experience.  I'd never do it again.
