Nice bike.
 Where can I buy the balls to ride it? Do they come as an accessory?

Probably a lot safer than Eddie's bike. This one has traction control, engine management, that Eddie's bike didn't. Perfect bike for the guy who is good, but not great, who's got a lot of extra dough, who wants to win the open gp class in club racing. He'll get away with it for one season, then they'll outlaw the bike.
An incredible rush though. I think that I'm going to get a ride on a MotoGP bike at the end of the year, let you guys know which one after, I've gotten the ride. Art
