Vintage Motorcycle Racing

If you are new to my blog, you may not be aware that I race vintage motorcycles. We are starting to get ready for the 2012 season. I will be racing a Ducati F1 and Ducati 851 in period 4.

Vintage Road Racing is becoming increasingly well known as a venue where motorcycle racers go to have fun.

The racers themselves are not there for the glory, the fame or the money. They are there to compete, to test their skills, to push their machinery and themselves to absolute limits; to wrench, to curse, to skin their knuckles to the bone, and then pull on the leathers and line up against their friends and archenemies on the starting line.

These are serious weekend warriors. There are no posers who don their best “bad boy” leather costumes and ride from one donut shop to the next.

Instead their leathers are stained with sweat and blood on the inside and asphalt kisses, or more on the outside.

This is real motorcycle riding with an edge.
