The 2010 SMRI racing season is at an end.  The final race of the year was anticlimactic for me, as the bike ran poorly, but I ended up finishing fifth in the championship, so I’ll consider the season a success!  Next year, with the addition of the new motor, should be even better.

On the MHe end of things, due to your urgings I’ve started compiling an owner’s registry.  I hope to have it in a publishable form by the end of the year so that our community can continue to build a strong identity and provide good provenance for these machines for years to come.  If you have any suggestions for the registry, or if you’d like to be included in it, just send me a note via the forums and I’ll see that your thoughts are considered and/or included.

One final bit of news to share.  Stuart Baker, of Flight Cycles, and I have decided to jointly form a new business to provide independent maintenance for New Mexico Ducati owners.  Our new venture is called Desert Desmo, and we are already booking appointments.  I know none of you are close enough to take advantage of our services, but what the heck…..I just thought I’d throw it out there! 

As always, if you have news that might excite or interest the group, or if you just plain want to say something here, please drop me a line and I’ll see if I can accomodate you.
