Just your local Tech saying hi

Hey guys, Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mike, for those of you whom do not know me, i'm a local ducati tech in the Md. area. I spent several years working at Speed's and have since moved on. I am now working at a small shop in Gaithersburg, and i also do side work. I am facotry certified (well, at least through 2008! haha) and also posess majority of the necessary factory tools (with the exception of the DDS). I am also more than willing to share my knowledge and experiences.
Anyhow, for those of you that don't know me too well, my experiences are not limited to only bikes. I have been and am currently active as crew in the Grand American Road Racing Series (NASCAR's Road Racing Division, similar to ALMS or SPEED WORLD CHALLANGE Series). I have been involved in that since 2001. I also spent a year+ helping a local Ducat team based out of Herndon Va. in the MOTO-ST series. If you have never seen a live race, i reccomend it. They occur fairly close (Watkins Glen, VIR, NJ Motorsports park, Mid-Ohio, and Limerock).
Additionally, i have been fairly active in the Ducati community, mostly lurking on Speedzilla (though i have grown tired of their politics and namecalling). I usually only post things that are relevant to the topic, and more or less look to just assist with tech tips, or troubleshooting. If anyone ever has a problem that is really stumping them, i urge them to shoot me a PM or Email and i will try my best to help. If you are brave enough to venture into working on your own bike....I ENCOURAGE it....Remember, anything you can break, you can fix! I'm here to help contribute to what i consider to be a great community of riders. I have always enjoyed the camaraderie of the Ducati enthusiasts, and can't stand others "bashing" just because someone is doing something "outside the box" I say to each his own, even if its not my cup of soup.
With that said, i look forward to hearing any questions or comments that you may have.
