  1. Yeah, I said all that. Then proceeded to wobble round like a girl on my lovely shiny new steed, shit scared of scratching it never mind launching it :laughing:
    It's only now after a year or so I've relaxed on it. And the lap times are tumbling. Relatively speaking.... :):upyeah:

  2. That's true I'm afraid.

    You've got to be quite blinkered in your approach to securing a Ducati deal.... Like me :laughing: The red don't come cheap.

  4. To be honest all of them mate. And it’s 2k for the valves alone!
    The new one isn’t really much different to the 13s

    They are mega bikes though, but rebuild intervals on 600s are usually every season realistically which is why my total freak of an engine in my cbr is so impressive

  6. What's the R got over the non R?

  7. Yeah basically mate, small capacity high revving motor living a hard life.

    Supersport rebuilds are usually sub 1500km’s haha

    According to the interweb it's having the compression and rebound removed from the shock main body for some jiggery pokery idea that went over my head.

  14. I didn't ask to be honest. I knew about the forks which are electronic as well and was advised by other owners that I needed the R so that's what I bought.

  16. I'm going to book on this as well. I'm going to stay at the track hotel again as it's really convenient in the mornings.

  17. And the evenings. No car hire required. In fact fuck it, just keep yer leathers on for 3 days :laughing:

  18. Isnt it lacking in beer and food stakes tho? Early night, serious riders only syndrome encouraged?
     
    #58 bradders, Sep 22, 2019
  19. Is it? No beer? No burgers? Fuck that. A euro gig would feel weird pulling your leathers without a banging hangover and indegestion.
