The man has pretty good taste in motorcycles in my book. The bevel drive Ducati SS Desmo made me think of Cook Nielson's California Hot Rod!!! Better than a house filled with Picassos. Must be nice to have unlimited buck$!!

Track looks like a gas on a bike. Real nice flowing corners. No real place to relax except that one straight with the cones on it. Sure beats dodging all those minivans with their dazed drivers on their cellphones on the street when trying to go fast!!!

I see enough room in the building for a nice eight-lane commercial size slot car track, too. Just to keep him busy when its raining at the track.

Wonder if he needs a curator for his bike collection???

"Honest, I swear its stock"  My answer to tech officials at post race teardown many a time.

 

That bike wouldn't do 150mph if you dropped it down a mineshaft!!!

Well, well, a quick estimate for that oval by measuring it - 7.55 miles - wow!
