The car is at our place in Scottsdale but here is a pic of the wife in Glacier this last summer. We prefer older classics, we have a garage full CB's and CBR's, this is a 93 CBR900RR fresh off a frame up resto.
I never seem to have toys in the same location but this is one of my bikes.. my own design and partially my own build (had to hire some experienced aluminum bending craftsmen to execute my design when my modest talent ran out. Based on a DUCATI 999 with a 1000cc air-cooled DUCATI engine.. everything else is handmade. Trellis Front end is completely unique engineering and calculations. Name is UNA.. means a "single female" in Italian. Leather kindly donated to the cause by Pagani after I modeled the exhaust after half of a Zonda exhaust.
I have a few other Ducati's including a 749R and a completely custom fully race-prepped 1200cc Hypermotard which I use to get around San Francisco. CHP have been too kind to me so far...

Best thing anyone told me about tracking cars after tracking bikes was "be very careful!!!!" You come from two wheels and front wheel braking to a car that has four wheels and lots of braking stability, bikers tend to over-cook it as they feel so "safe" compared to being on the bike. Sound advice that I've heeded.

Sage advice. Braking very late in a street car such as a Gt3 is not always the fastest way around the track.
