Wonderings

Happy Fathers Day

I have a low key day planed. My daughters and their familyÔÇÖs will be in town. That will be a great treat for the day.

For now it is early in the morning. I am thinking about my fathers. My biological father died when I was twelve. My stepfather came along a couple of years later. I was fortunate. He was one of the greatest men to enter my life. I find myself thinking about the changes in my life this year, the demands of finding work or starting a business, concerns for my family and wishing I could have my fathers to talk with. Still, in a way they are.

Happy Fathers Day to all you fathers and soon to be fathers out there.

Official: 1200cc twins from 2008.

Ducati Mechanics
Race Start, Italian WSBK Race 1 2007
Toseland, Bayliss, Lanzi, Corser, Assen WSBK Race 1 2007
Ducati - and any other manufacturer - will be able to race a 1200cc twin-cylinder in the 2008 Superbike World Championship following amendments to the technical regulations.

After lengthy discussions, and threats by from both sides to leave the championship, a compromise has been reached 'after consultation with all the parties involved and upon the proposal submitted by the Superbike Commission' whereby 1200cc twins will be allowed to race against the 1000cc four-cylinders - but with higher weight limits, air restrictors and standard con rods.

Initially, the 1200s will weigh 6kg more than the 1000s and have 50mm air restrictors - but both of these values will be 'updated, if needed, during the championship by a system analysing the race points obtained'.
