  1. Don't think they do that in worlds do they? That race from Italy was cancelled last year don't remember it been re run? Same number of races can't see a need to change hmmmmm
  2. you cant compare a SV to a blackbird for handling and added weight? yeah my 1997 model so old weighs 191kg an sv650 weighs 169kg I really cant see the weight been an issue there I have said this many times before the same rider will be faster on a thou than a 600 on all but the tightest of twisty stuff but deffo on the road, I've been faster than slightly better riders because you get to use the higher torque out of every corner. Last time I went out with a friend on a 6 he was pissed off me and my r1riding mate didn't need to change down for overtakes he was always dancing on the gears which leads into the other good thing about a bigger bike its less tiring. Oh and if you think you lose out on cornering on a big heavy bike follow someone like Keith 2 up full luggage on an fjr, half a tonne versus your sv
  3. Just curious what rules were changed? This was the super sport race not the sbk flag to flag rule. Supersport don't use slicks.

    Yay glad I made your day Techno, sorry I can't do anything about the knickers you've got in a twist tho and yes I knew you were fishing for me, you're as easy as a book to read lol Glad you got that tirade off your chest (again!) you must cut and paste it from web history lol 35 or so years of biking, owned 18 bikes 6 being Duc's 5 being Honda's.... hell I'm a Honda fanboy as well lol Do you think it's ok for Admin to go off topic on this thread and then troll and 'attack' a forum member? could be seen as dragging a forum down the pan. not making a complaint tho, don't value your opinion enough to take offence

    Nice to see I caught the fish I was after with my trolling it really must bug Ducati fanboys like yourself that someone doesn't like 80% of the range So just for you dessa let's get it all down here Monsters hate them and the diavel is just a fat one in my eyes regardless of the intent of Ducati when making it! Liked the 999, 749, your 1098 even tho I couldn't live with it every day probably like you, and the panigale looks sweeeeet! Your multistrada seems decent and if its as good as you say all power to ducati, the old multistrada oh dear! Your Paul smart thing yuk but that goes for any retro bike by any company hate them all, hell even old classics from BSA etc not my thing never were. The hypermotard back to Ducati nice idea gets caned by one of my all time favourites from KTM. Last but not least the desmo probably fantastic just you'd have to explain its worth 40 grand to people who don't know and that is just sad! So there you go dessa my opinion shock horror its different to yours as for Ducati I don't think they give a rats ass about my or your opinion just I dont hand them my hard earned for any old shit.
  6. Sad news indeed I think he was killed instantly. Rip.
  7. I had some moulded ear plugs they were free work paid, best ear plugs ever hopefully the nurse has ordered me some more

    Seek help now! Yes financial help to make that dream happen, absolutely beautiful bike, go for it! we are looking at the same picture, the ne of the fat monster Having sat on it, i can also confirm the riding position is horrible too! Well to me anyway
  9. ???? So what did you think of it fozzie?
  10. Think I scared the shit out of a driver who drifted into the outside lane as I was approaching so gunned the bike through the gap and the two brothers woke him/her up as they swerved back to the inside.
  11. I think its other way round Danny decided not to run with Lorenzo out.
  12. Lorenzo sat in Barcelona with a pedders voodoo doll. Marquez will be laughing
  13. So will pedrosa make hay this weekend having been given a second Chance, will Lorenzo be back for Laguna?
  14. I have to say what is with the south and all the bloody speed cameras, I'm wondering if I totted up a ban there bloody everywhere (and as I didn't know where I was going and the roads I wasn't going nuts were talking just over sort of speeds) anyway got back up above Newark and they just stopped! Just another nail in the coffin for choosing heading south. On the plus side some nice scenery.
  15. I love the ratchet type, seat belt type are the worst, double d are middling lol
  16. I actually expected us to have the same team but realised you may not be able to raise the cash for Byrne with only one sale. Edit...it would appear you could lol
  17. Yeah I was having a mental breakdown... all sorted. Same thing happened when you went to choose some specs
  18. No its 3 always has been so don't know what your doing wrong. Deso made 3 then seems to have changed his mind?
  19. Hmmm I don't trust you now lol Careful consideration on my changes this time. I want to catch you Techno!! Or I could follow your suggestion and just pick same as you
  20. Team changed ready for next round
  21. Lol I do wonder where the whole bike will go where you look came from and how helpful it is as you tend to look where your going, but I can look into fields and stuff but if I don't turn/steer I go straight on. Is it basically allied to leaning off and head position? If you continuously look into a field whilst going into a corner you will go into the field its called target fixation....you do sometimes demonstrate how little you understand about riding..we all look around whilst riding but its a simple fact that the bike will go where you look when you enter a bend or roundabout...try doing a bike gymkana without looking hard over your shoulder and you will soon learn something about cornering.. The bit about the field was a joke seems joe got that point As for what I understand about riding whatever it is seems to stand me in good stead these days thanks muchly. Of course the bike will go where you look when entering roundabouts and bends I actually sort of said that in my previous post, in fact I simplified it by deleting the bit about bends.
