Last Sunday I rode with a couple of my closest friends to MSR in Cresson to checkout some Ducati bikes that would be doing laps at the track. There I had the pleasure of meeting an extremely nice guy by the name of Pierre Terblanche who is famous for designing the 999 as well as other well known Ducati designs. We had him sign the Ducati's we took for a friend of mine who is ill and he genuinely wished him well. Anyways.. thought it was a good ride and time well spent.

Here's what I was riding...it's a Ducati MH900 Evoluzione (stands for Mike Hailwood) and it's one of only 2000 made.....

Cool bike !

I used to own a couple of bevel head Ducati bikes way back in the late 70's early 80's

Always loved a good Ducati !

He's in TX to go to different bike events. He was staying six time National Road Racing champ Jeff Nash who owns Advanced Motor Sports in Dallas and Alvarado.

Here's a pic of the bike I rode taken while we were there and posted on Advanced Motorsports website. Next to it is a Paul Smart Ducati that also belongs to my friend.
