Greeting to all you, MH900e owners and fans alike.  This installment of the blog will be short and sweet, as I don’t have anything extraordinary to tell you, but I didn’t want to leave things untended for too long, so here goes.

I raced in late June, and though I placed an unremarkable fifth of sixteen entrants, it was definitely the most enjoyable day of racing thus far.  The Aermacchi ran beautifully for the first time this year, and I got to dice with two other riders for every lap of the race, which always makes it more enjoyable for me!  I won’t bore you with details, but I think I’ve maximized the bike’s mechanical potential, so now it’s time to start working on mine.  I’m currently 3rd in the points standings, but I expect that to slip somewhat as more bikes with substantial horsepower advantages have begun racing as the year has progressed.  I think my best possible finish barring failure by one of the faster bikes is fourth…..but I’ll keep hammering at it!

Chris Scherle, a member of our small band, is working on a sweatshirt/polo shirt/golf shirt/whatever kind of shirt you want to embroider upon design for the club.  We’re trying to make sure it’s kosher to use the MH900e logo, but I think we’ll find that we’re OK to embroider that onto shirts for our use.  See the forum for additional details, or to leave feedback/encouragement for Chris.

And, finally, happy Independence Day for those of you in the United States.  For those who don’t know, the 4th of July is a major holiday in the United States, as it’s the day the United States formally declared independence from Great Britain in 1776.  Be careful out there, and watch for drunk drivers.  I’ll be celebrating by taking a ride through Jemez, NM with the local Ducati Club.

As always, holler if you’re having problems with the site, or if you have suggestions or opinions, or if you just want to say “Hi”.

By the way, any MH900e owner is welcome to write a piece for submission to this blog page.  All you have to do is:

1)  Do something interesting

2)  Write about it

3)  Take a couple of pictures

4)  Send your story and pictures to me for editing, formatting, and uploading.

I’m sure lots of others would love to live vicariously through you, so write about your adventures and send them in.  Your submission doesn’t necessarily have to involve your MH900e as long as it’s about something important to you and interesting to others.
