Paul Smart [1972 Imola
race winner] and wife Maggie [Barry Sheen's sister] were on hand
throughout the weekend. These 2 folks are just about the nicest
people I have met - they have known Frank for a long time and listening
to the 3 of them carry on was a lot of fun. Maggie is actually the
person whom we all should thank as it was she who got the call from
Ducati in 1972 for Paul to race and as he was off racing somewhere,
signed him up! As you all know, Paul reluctantly flew over to
Italy to race an un proven and brand new Ducati bevel drive twin and
with not more than a few practice laps started the race. He came
in first, Bruno Spaggiari came in second. This 1-2 punch put
DUCATI on the map in the moto world and gave Ducati the bump start it
needed to get to where it is today. THANK YOU MAGGIE! And
well, Thank you Paul! |

>> Bevel Heaven shop owner and
Ducati Museo organizer Steve Allen gets in on a conversation with Rossi
and the "Ducati Hotties" from the new series SUPERBIKES. The show
segment with MotoGP footage and other Moto related happenings is due to
air on Speedvision mid August. Who knows if anything recorded gets
aired, but it was fun anyways. As you can tell, Steve was
suffering the whole time...... It's a tough job but someone
has to do it!
