No Limits trackday fatality at Mallory on Friday
There isn't really a safe place to ride bikes. Get it wrong and shit can hit the fan very easily. RIP. No Limits bulletin: It's with a heavy heart we are tasked to announce that unfortunately there was a incident last Friday 29th September at Mallory Park which resulted in a very unusual situation w...

Re: Ducati 748 - Road to track/road
I've no idea on the lifespan but it comes with a 3 year warranty which sounds like they have faith in their product.

A Curious brew. A lager beer made with champagne yeast and you can certainly taste it.

Re: DaytonAndy's 1299s Panigale
Emissions laws and noise tests make it no longer possible to sell a bike making the best sound.
I still think my 853 makes the best sound of any Ducati. the racebikes of Bayliss, Hodgson etc from that era were epic.

Re: DaytonAndy's 1299s Panigale
Two SL1299s going out the door at JHP today.
One wanted his gearshift reversed to race shift which meant the mechanic did a quick road test.
Beautiful piece of engineering and an epic sound. Not race bike loud though. Just a nice gruff growl.

This however is still far and away my fave Panigale colour. Looks kind of evil but classy.

Re: went on a test ride today !!
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).

Re: DaytonAndy's 1299s Panigale
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.

Re: Bargains
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.
