I didn't even get a Christmas card from you this year ;P
I've been entertained mostly by what I've understood to be your healing process, and found what is not interesting to me fairly easy to scroll past without any uncontrollable emotional reactions. While I find this forum a priceless font of info, I don't have any expectations of it to be maintained as a WikiDucati, nor a pure funnel to a retail situation. There are may central points of value for me here, the more central of which is to be able to relate the other crazies in the world that have the DNA for the lifestyle that is Italian race bikes.
We are an incredibly rare species with a great many variables. Your basic motorcyclist is a thing of ardent individualism completely aligned with high sense of social responsibility attached to a body that loves to fly through the wind at high speeds and can handle over 7 independent channels of data input with different vectors. (regular humans can barely handle 4-5 driving a car. Add cell phone, crash.) Ducatisti are usually X2 some of that, and I find that to be the most rare and good kind of human. The only more rare breed are fighter pilots who can handle 11 individual data vectors.
We crash, we heal, we need our mates. We need to learn, we need to stick together, so everyone, don't be a dick because it's weak.
