Thumbs up best ducati thread on the internet

point your browser to:
http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/fo...hreadid=142624

and be prepared to spend a lot of time reading about the cool trip that liam shubert has undertaken in his quest to become a motogp mechanic in europe.

liam sold all his worldly goods, and moved from sunnyvale, ca. to barcelona spain, and has kept this thread going (there are now over 1,263 postings/replies, and over 146,945 views on this thread).

loads of fantastic motogp track and pit photos, awesome photos of all the top motogp pilots standing with liam @ parties and events ... lots of inside stories on what really goes on in motogp ... and just a great read on a trip of a lifetime.

if you have questions for any of the pilots, just post them, and liam will do his best to get the answers for you directly from the pilots.

if you can't make it over to attend a motogp in person, this thread offers you a pretty decent alternative.

why did i title this "best ducati thread on the internet"? well, liam has been trying his hand at being a wrench for a few motogp and WSBK teams this season ... one of which is a very well know ducati team. read the thread to find out which one, if you can guess

ciao,
johnc

update update update

For those of us who got hooked with Liam's story and this thread, just before Mugello GP round Liam landed a full time gig with D'antin's Ducati MotoGP team. He is something like 2nd wrench to Alex Hoffman.

You need to get to about page 102 before the news comes out. Anyone listen to the MotoGPod casts?? He was interviewed about 20 mins into the podcast where he breaks the news.

Good on you Liam.. the most photogenic (read photoslut) guy in MotoGP. He looks like working at Laguna round. Drop by and get your photo taken with him... Don't let him smile though.

Photos from this thread...
