Looking good! Here is some of the unedited onboard stuff from Drat: While some of it isn't all that interesting - I find it's a good tool for watching people's lines & studying the track. Although the crashes are pretty funny.   ;D |

yea, little spendy to race a ducati, i couldnt do it without my sponsors.. i have done pretty good on it, but the bike is gonna be retired to just a street bike after these next 3 races i have... next year i will most likely be on a Yamaha, and racing more AFM (3 track californian series), and some AMA Nationals. the F2 was a good little bike, but i would love to have that fzr 400 and put that motor in a RSD chassis. i was thinking about building a super single for next year.. but i think the the R6 is my next weapon. unless the skys open up and a sponsor gives me an RSVRV4 or a SR1000RR . nice having you out there, wish i had your suspension on my race scooter! my kingdom for some tunable upside down forks!  |

I had about a month to build the bike for that race so not much time and the motor had maybe 14 miles on it before the race so it wasn't broken in. as for the tune on the bike I had to get it close for it to run ok as that day was the second time I rode the bike. work has all my time so no time to tune after work. |

ok ... i meant to say.. i wish i had suspension... even the best suspension on a vintage vespa is 20 steps behind your clapped out blow sealed forks on your bike. but i am going to fix that, got an appointment... but dont tell my competitors... |

those bitubo shocks for the vespas are really good stuff. I like those adjustable ones that have the damper adjust and the spring preload adjust on it. someone was running those on sunday.
