….for racing!  As MotoGP, World Superbike, and seemingly every other racing series in the world is kicking off a new season, I thought it was time to get back on track after a 20 year hiatus, so I’ve decided to go racing.  In fact, being an old racer, I figured I should race an older bike, so I’ve built a ‘67 Aermacchi to race in the local SMRI Historic Vintage Ultra Lightweight class.

The old girl is up and running, so I took her out to Sandia Raceway for the licensing class this past weekend.  A few adjustments are in order, but the bike seems strong enough to be competitive in its class, and if nothing else it should make for an entertaining summer.

This really has nothing at all to do with MH900e, but as the site administrator I’ve taken a bit of license in the hope that my adventures will, at the very least, be interesting to a few readers.

Look for updates throughout the upcoming race season!

After a few months of hiatus, the MH900e Owners Club is finally back.  Far from finished, but ready to serve the community of loyal Ducati MH900e aficionados.

I’m Brian De Groodt, and I guess I’m now president, ring-leader, or something official here.  In any case, it doesn’t really matter to me.  I’m just happy to put the community back together and get our group served with information and conversation about the MH.

This site is definitely still a work in progress.  I have literally gigs of information from the old site (Thanks JohnC!) and will be uploading it over the coming days, weeks, months.  If you have a specific request, please email me and let me know.  If I have it, I’m happy to share it and put it to the front of the line.

For now, here’s what we have right now.  We have this blog/main page.  We have the Forums page for all things considered.  What we don’t have right now is direct integration between MH900e.org (blog) and the forums.  So if you post a comment on the blog, you won’t need a password, but you also won’t automatically be logged into the forum section.  Everyone needs to register to participate in the forum.  It’s easy.  I think the forums give us a little more functionality than we had previously, but are still pretty basic. If there’s a reason to move to something more advanced in the future, we’ll discuss it as a group and figure out what makes sense.

I’d really like to see us get back to the same or better level of participation we had previously.  That includes owner registration, which I’ll start working on as a next step.  Ideally we can record the whereabouts of all 2,000 units.

Finally, welcome to your home! If there’s anything you’d like to see, I’d love to hear it.

That’s all for now.
