Oh My Gosh. I cant believe it!

 

My 2nd time to track was around Oct 2006. My gf had a video cam recording the whole day. Guess what i saw! It was the 1st time i met Marcus on the track and And the 1st time talking to him too. I was pacing him from behind. Me Ducati S4, He 999. And Rachel was taking his timing along with a Maroon Skipper. I forgot all abt the video tape. Watching the video brings back nice memories. I'll always miss riding wtih him on the track.

1098 have 50% less maintenance, that does not = 50% discount on servicing, bro.

 

The parts of 1098 is more expensive, and that kindda equals or makes the 1098 slightly cheaper to service.

Oh ok.. i see.... haha.. My mistake.

 

Which means the timing belt should be able to last 50% longer of the actual mileage. From 20,000km --> 30,000km ??

 

I heard the parts are stronger and will last longer.

[GuiNNeSS]

No you're not seeing things. $555 for a Brembo radial pump + installation is quite a good price.

what picture are you talking abt ??

[HaiR1]

Hi.....

 

I saw 3 Italian biikes,2Red colour & 1 Black/Carbon colour.

The Red colour i guess is a Ducati,while the Black/carbon as a Mv Agusta.

All of them looked like they were wearing racing suit.

They were heading towards Dover Rd Exit,passed ITE DOVER at around 9.20am

Via expressway opposite NUH.

 

 

 

I was juz wondering if any of the riders are in the forum...?

Btw,the Agusta is similar to Senna,correct me if i'm wrong..
