Ducati Riders

[maxbg]

Max, i think yr Go-Pro has the best wide angle lens! Amazingly wide!

 

I was trying the 1080p HD mode which actually reduces the angle to just 120degrees (less distortion) vs 170 degrees of the 720p setting.

 

Next round I'll try the 720p 60fps mode and we can do slow motion.

[maxbg]

Nice meeting u too.. worth the wait for a sp...

 

When we chatted at OP, i was blur when u introduce urself as "i am the man".. skali ur nick iamtheman.. very slow lah me.. hahaha..

'Whatever' is voted most irritating word in the English language

a Marist Poll released today found.

Thirty-nine per cent of those polled were most irritated by the oft-used "whatever", while 28 per cent found the term "like" the most offensive.

The rhetorical "you know what I mean?" was ranked third by 15 per cent of those polled, followed by 10 per cent who were most annoyed by the phrase "to tell you the truth".Last year, "whatever" was crowned most-hated word by 47 per cent of those polled.

[fubby]

I wished i bought an S..

 

lol bro i initially shared the excat same sediments as you.. but after much reading i found out our base model and S not that much of a difference as we think

Wheels, DTC,suspensions and some CFs.. and yes! the frame color lol.

The real difference is in the R and the corse, mag engine frame cover, mag clutch components, Ti engine components plus the full race system.

Well at least we got our dream bike brudder!

 

PS: i found a seller on ebay who has ready stock on the R Mag components. interested ?

yr 1198sp is the last in the line!

but for less than a year,probably around dis time next year,the

Superquadrata 'll b here!

so u gonna ask yrself,do u wans to be last in line or first in the queue!

i dunno 've anybody put down any money for d Superquadrata but if u decided to go for it now,i'm sure u 'll b in d 1st shipment! a mini celebrity of some sort,everybody wans to talk to u?

food for thought ,mate.

 

*some little facts abt d Superquadrata ?

it was ducati 1st entry into motogp & dis twins(round)&another twin(oval) piston was

1st considered ! the oval was drop due to some regulatory issues(how do u measured an oval?)same theory as how u measured a rotary engine?

but later , reckon the twins might 've a power disadvantage to the rest of the mgp machinary.

the" square"twin is 8 yrs in the making,real potent,jac?

 

yuan ching rd,kfc,

Bro, indeed it is the last in line. Since next year they are out of SBK, all efforts will be in developing this SuperQuad. Indeed thoughts came before, but then I will never get to ride seeing how Duc come out with upgrade every 1-2years. That probably will give me a good reason to upgrade

 

The other oval piston bike ie next to impossible to own is the Honda NR, it was a technology feat back then, 8 valves per cylinder

 

BTW, always enjoy reading your post, full of insight.

Tiffany told me that they have a track event at sepang on 14th to 16th Jan or 15th to 17th Jan. All ducati owners and soon to be ducati owner can register. But it will be impossible for me to go since i dont have a class 2 bike. haizzzzzzz
