Nicky Wilson Ducati 899 Trioptions Cup - Ducati Forum Crowd Sourced Sponsorship!

I'm talking about the standard Ducati up-map that comes with the Termi. I'll not be running anything other than that until I get a feel for the bike.

Other than that, I'll put petrol in it, change the tyres when they are worn out and ride it.

I'm riding with True Heroes but there's only a little bit on their about page at the minute. Murray's bike will be at the London show too. Not sure why we aren't on the rider list yet. Think Ducati maybe doing some sort of press release about it.

When's your first outing?

 

Not sure Nicky. I'll be starting the build proper this week but still waiting on a few crucial parts like rearsets, push comes to shove I could ride it with OEM but don't really want to. I'll drop you a tweet if I book anything.

 

@Nicky Wilson Can I ask a favour pse?
Our team has got some funds for next year. We're only doing Donington Endurance with NL on an 848 - doing 6 hour and might do 3 hour too
Can you please ask what sprockets the 848 guys were running at Donington last year? Going to change to a 520 chain set and get a good base setup for sprockets. Thinking of going 15/41-42??

Many thanks, Bob

 

64 tooth on the rear and a 10 on the front should see you right. Oh and don't forget to run your tyres at 4psi rear and 6 front.

Good luck.

 

Ah... I was going to go 64 on the front and 10 on the rear... Thanks for putting me right...

 

Sounds like @scrawnsenior has answered it!

 

Had my first outing of the year yesterday at Brands. Just making sure everything went ok with our winter rebuild!

 

Notice the small screen on the RH side if the Nose, Does that help??

The Panigale has got a small fairing and was wondering is that a New Design or a Home made design?

Never seen it before

Looking good though

 

Hi,

I fitted them as a last minute thing to try and keep my hands warmer. They are screens which are used at the TT. You can get them on ebay: MOTORCYCLE ,FAIRING SCREEN EXTENDER,WIND DEFLECTOR,SMALL SIZE,BOB HEATH VISORS | eBay

I can't use them in the championship but I can test with them.

 

any full frontal shots Nick,

Looks good and like you say it saves getting colder hands while testing

 

Hi all!
