Re: Copy Cat Japanese

How in the world could you consider it copycatting when

1) Ducati never had a GP bike until last year, while the Japanese have had them for 30 years

2) Most of Ducati's "innovations" actually came from GP bikes and

3) The Japanese have already made GP streetbikes in the past (RZ500, RG500) so if Ducati does the same it would only be copying what the Japanese did in the past?

Re: You know what they say

"I scored in the 90th percentile on the GRE verbal portion."

So what? I know plenty of college professors who are complete dip****s with no idea of how the world works.

Test scores mean jack ***** in the real world, as most people who live in it know.
