Ducati, Funny how things turn out. I wanted to stay in the Army and have them send me to medical school under the Bootstrap Program. Two problems: One, the Army was downsizing after Nam, and two, they did not want to keep aomeone who got shot up pretty good--even though I got accepted in med school. I left the army and figured I would go the civilian route--problem was that there was a four year waiting list. I was pushing thirty and needed to work at something somewhat sedantary while I was healing--so I went back to school. I really should have become a mechanic. I am one of the better bicycle mechanics around here and have only been at it for four years. Maybe I can talk to our local shop-who specializes in Ducati and any other good sportbike, into taking me as an apprentice. I would even sign an agreement that I would not open a shop within 100mi.
