You really need to win a couple more races before you get fully accepted. 
Welcome aboard, and a very well done yesterday.

You'll NEVER be fully accepted until you buy other Ducatisti a McDonalds when they spy you in one on the A500............

Don't ever feel like a stranger Matt, you're a god on two wheels mate and a true inspiration, I'm just trying my best not to get lapped by you!
As for being allowed to call yourself a 'Ducatisti'..... you own a Ducati so you're instantly accepted around these parts.

You need to get out to bsb/wsb/motogp more lol.
I cant tell you how much i apreciate you saying that dude but really i'm not.
You wanna see god on two wheels you wanna see the likes of McGuiness and Martin on the road circuits!
If i can be half a fraction as good as those guys then i'll have fullfilled my ambition in racing.
If you bear in mind that this time last year i was struggling to get in the top 15, the only reason i have improved is because i have a fantastic team behind me that know what there doing and a guy who has been there and got the t-shirt showing where i'm going wrong at all the meetings, this guy is chris P.
He is the sole reason (apart from sponsers) that i have got as far as i have.
From what i have learnt so far, the rider is quite a small factor in the team.

Fine words indeed Matt. I'm just beginning to understand just how amazing some of the folks on the paddock really are and the generosity of information when people are free for a chat is overwhelming. (I feel like such a racing amoeba, but at least my first crash is out of the way!)

You race a Ducati TP (very very fast) that gives you Ducatisti VIP status!

Matt, as we were saying on Saturday, it used to be you and I that were having the tussles, I still grin when I think about the Shell Oils move and why I came in with grass in my knee slider  you are a pleasure to watch out there, so, so smooth and inch perfect, lap after lap, well done bud. Keep doing what you are doing fella !
