Hi Dani, you could tail gate cos when he is doing his coaching the timing is around 2mins or so , I timed you once on your monster , you were there abouts, but of course when 5th rider is not teaching & doing his thing he is in the 42s , thats what i call see only 1 or 2 corner sthen it bye bye , I did the course with him , really is beneficial , it is no use trying to better your time going round & round many many times when one is doing the wrong thing , it is not quantity but the quality of the ridng , you surely cut your timing without yourself realising it cos he teaches you less panic situation & riding very very smoothly !@!! not braking so late that you 've got a thousand & one things to do later in the turn !!!

i already signed up and pending my PG session with him. saw him that day with another class and started follwoing him. when i was alone he wave me to follow him and thats where i clock my best timing.

 

i did a 1.50 and hopefully can get it down to the 1.40s.

 

just to let those interested that it is really worth it considering the cost is so low and the time 5th rider puts on you. of course i still find it really difficult to get all the items he teaches or just 1 item working when i am on the track and the only advice i have is not to expect miracles from him. it will takes lots of practices before the results shows.

Hi,

 

mugello53 requires Ducati escorts for his wedding on the 11th June.

Congrats!

 

Anyone?

I already reserved your tee shirts for you. Both the James Toseland's 999F05.

 

The MotoGP in black quite nice too, size M. Enticed? Black not so easy to dirty while riding

very easy bro,

 

get a bike, go to pg more often and wowla you will get there

 

not too difficult

[Guest nE0]

The 999 is my first sportbike, so I had no experience with sportbikes whatsoever. Streetbikes have nowhere as much lean angle as a superbike, and while I can scrape the gearlever on my Monster to dust, leaning a 999 over is just scarey.

 

But anyway, 8 sessions later, I went from 2:50s to sub 2mins (Someone said he timed me 1:59?). The track is a really good place to learn and to push one's limits, and to really polish up the riding skills.

 

Although I still don't dare to rev above 7k rpms, or full trottle out of corners (or anywhere else), or push above 170 on the straights, and although I still have like 1cm of chicken strips on my tyres, its still great fun!

 

Oh ya, Diablo Corsas work on 33/36PSI! Maybe i'm not that experienced, but I feel the same amount of grip, plus the tyres last longer too, don't look as shagged after 10 continous laps, and doesn't start slipping even at the end of the session. I tried 30/32 and really shredded my rear tyre, which started sliding after 6 laps...

 

Sadly, I don't think I'd ever go to PG and attack the track like that again, perhaps for a looooooooong time... I'll miss the fun, the adredaline, and of course the people I meet there!

Wahh! Bro, thats a 10 secs shave off ur previous timing...Congrats to u! i dun think i could catch up with u anymore! Have been stuck at the 2 minute margine since my 600, but now with my Duc, i manage to push only another 3 secs faster only! I think i should squeeze more time for track, if not, i will be lagging too far behind liaoz!

Anyone knows where/how I can get my headlight mask fairing resprayed to match the Ducati red?

 

Bought a newer style headlight fairing for my ST4 but it's stock black.

[Guest nE0]

From my experience, its impossible to get back the original Ducati Red, I ended up respraying every single part because I hate the mismatch.

 

Its only very slightly darker red than the stock one though, sprayed at ah khoon.

Gibernau on pole for tomorrow's GP!!! That's a surprise!!!
