Is it me, or does anyone else smell a cheesy CW story brewing?This comes on the heels of former heavyweight boxer, prison inmate and obvious budding cannibal Mike Tyson who showed up at his latest legal circus riding a Ducati 916. One that failed to start when it was all over, it is rumored. Welcome to Italian bikes, Mikey.
Tyson met Mick Doohan in a Monaco nightclub this spring and had the audacity to ask Doohan who the 600cc world champion was.

Of course, any real man would have said it to the former champion (Tyson's) face and let him punch fist-sized holes in his rib cage.
