WWW-Worthy (WWWW) Interests

• Motorcycles: Suzuki: RG500 Absolutely fascinating machine, my addiction started in 1985, 6 years before I finally managed to purchase my RG500. After purchase, the fascination grew even more (in spite of an exploding transmission and other reliability problems), and as a shrine of worship, I have now set up a mailing list , and a Web Site dedicated to the Suzuki RG500 Gamma. This Web Site has been mentioned (including screen shot) in several international Motorcycle Magazines!!

• Motor Racing: Formula 1: Many, many Web pages cover this subject. For now I'll only add a photo that I took of "magic" Ayrton during Qualifying for the Spanish GP in '91.

• View my four-wheeled motor vehicles: The legendary Lancia Delta Integrale Evoluzione 1 (a.k.a. "Deltona"), built in 1992, and my daily transport, a Toyota MR2 two-seater from 1985. (sold the Toyota in 2000 because of emigration, OF COURSE I kept the Deltona)
  
  
• My Suzuki RG500 (and its rider) also made it to the pages of the Italian version of Time Out magazine (see scanned magazine article)
