Had a great day, well organised and the day went well, weather helped. Approx 160 Ducati of various shape and size …… just 1 Diavel
As everyone said above....... Great day and great to meet @cookster And re the above comments I heard a rumour about there being a racing line but I dutifully ignored it all day
I doubt you would find any one more cynical about the cluster fook these events have been in the past.......but this was a really good day. I got a sense from Fabrizio that it was a new era... Jinx and Tony from duc uk were very helpful and informative. The Ohlins guys from BG motorsport Silverstone were exceptional!! A lot of the stuff on my bike was new and new to me so needed dialling in... it was really great to watch and feel my suspension improve with tweaks here and the odd spring change as I waited...fantastic service and a great eye for detail certainly improved me and my bike. A few silly red/yellow flags... the ones on the sighting laps beggars belief....what were you doing people? .. but it is that kind of day! Met some new people and some old... roll on Silverstone... and the news that they are going to run the DRE in the UK and around the globe in a similar fashion to Mugello etc..
What a great day! The weather was perfect and it was great to put the Multi through its paces on the track. That Desmo came past me on the back straight and the noise was unbelievable! We also had one of the Superleggera's in our novice group. Looking forward to seeing the proper pictures.
Had a great day! 4 years since i was last on track so defo a bit rusty but the v4r was proper singing, tyres where fooked by the end of the day (by the end of the morning actually! ) Hopefully got some good footage on the GoPro. Anyone know when the trackside pics will be available? Is there a link?
Just checking my GoPro footage and it’s come out really well, will try and get some of it uploaded as a few of you will be on it! phone pic of my monitor screen of the footage
@El Toro I think someone has hacked @andyb account, can you investigate ? @zxstu Can't make any of the DUK days this year
Nope Worked out on ride home (3.5 hrs) what the whole trip cost me; fuel/hotel/trackday. Equaled £140 a lap; did 6 laps then zip failed. Got home about 10:00 then jumped on GS and took jacket to Hideout and had lengthy chat about jackets etc. Extremely helpful and plan forming. To cheer myself up almost bought a 71 plate Triple Black GS!!
