This would be a very cool piece of Ducati memorabilia; if you got it for me for Christmas, PM me for my mailing address!  ;D

A slight derby, nothing serious. I posted it in the Worst Gift Ever thread (not that it is!!) off of roadracingworld.com. No biggie. ;) No shit, what an awesome gift would that be?? [clap] [popcorn] [bacon] [bow_down] Hey honey, can I add something to my list?
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

It did say he sketched it over lunch with a journalist.

Maybe some wine was involved.

I wonder what I could get if I dipped the ol' teabag in some ink, blotted it all over some canvas, and signed it.

(really, I DO wonder)

I'd say at least $3500, if he mounted it in a frame with a photograph of the 'dipping/dripping'......but it'd have to be done over lunch with a female journalist in attendance

It'd still be better than the new Ducati logo.
