I was trying to convince SWMBO that I should get a motorcycle to save money on gas and she correctly pointed out that A) A Ducati is not any way to "Save" money, and B)That the tickets and insurance would bankrupt us forcing the Duc to be sold anyways so why go through all the pain and agony? Why do you ladies have to be so RESONABLE?
Bigger Hijak here...
the last guy I knew who managed to convince his SO that he needed a Ducati ended up in double arm casts about two weeks later, needless to say the insurace did not buy another one.....

I just got back from a big stage race, so I haven't had time to contact anyone about this, but I'll be spreading the word around the women's racing community (getting women interested in riding is the first step towards getting them interested in racing!) that you are trying to put this ride together. I'll PM if I get a response from anyone who is interested in helping.
