Nice bike, mister. I enjoyed the short ride i had on Stonesie's MT10 a few weeks back but i did wonder whether it still had more R1 than MT10 in it. I suspect Yamaha haven't changed much other than the bars and bodywork. Its a lovely engine. An IL4 with a touch of character and torque. So when are y...

So weight loss: One new lithium battery. The current battery is over 5 years old (i think it might even be 7, it was replaced after that IOM trip). Old battery weighs: in kilos 6.2kg 2017-09-30 17.08.05.jpg New battery weighs: in grams 995grams 2017-09-30 17.07.21.jpg I couldn't even weight them on ...

Take it on track, Andy. A nice wide track with long straights should be pretty safe.

The bike was designed as a race bike first and foremost and it's where it will be happiest.

The Ducati Panigale trackday last year rates as one of my best ever days on a bike.

I can definitely hear the Floyd but also massive amounts of the Beatles. [video...

I'm going to gte a lithium battery for the 748 which means i need a new charger. Can anyone see a big difference between these two Optimates ( other than the price and a few pretty lights) https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/248878" onclick="window.open(this.href...

**** to death

Aldi have some of the Crane base layers in stock again. These are the best quality base layers i have ever bought, regardless of price. Buy while you can.

What's on the way, Blade?

But at least none of us came home with tyres like this.

I think you will find that was me!

I keep forgetting you have Akra cans on it. Are they a Ducati part number or direct from Akrapovic?

Doh! I Se you said they are a DP part

CJS racing is the place to look at ECU remaps. I don't think many places have the software to write new maps.

It is worth taking the bike to Cornerspeed though to check it has the latest fuelling maps. Ducati update those for free on a regular basis.

Piss easy to wind some of them up. There are a few uptight ones who believe they know everything about everything. So I wind them up some more.

There are some good people too though.

Obviously i am biased but i still think the 916/748 bikes look as good less the bodywork as they do with it on. I watched Neil at Cornerspeed setting mine up on Saturday and it was a simple job for him to access all the adjusters once just the fairing was removed. (and the fairing is only held on wi...

Wonder what the V4 will look like with double the cylinders?

Seems i'm not the only one then.

One babe was doing her warm ups before the start, sticking her fit lycra clad butt out and gyrating it around.
