Default Just some pics from last weekend

Went to the Ed Bargy Racing School in Talladega last weekend with some friends. Did'nt get any pics from the track. Just these before we left. We did get some pretty good video footage and made a music video. The video is 42MB so I can't find a place to host it. The Ducati is mine, and the two on the back are a 600RR, and a 600F4 w/track plastics. Enjoy







This tire was brand new. It now has 100 miles on it

Great bike, very sexy.

I'll make sure and lock it up extra tight.

The Ed Bargy experience was one like no other. I've never been on a track before. I really learned a lot. They corrected some mistakes I was making in the corners that made me a lot faster around the track. I recommend it to anyone. When you are done, you can apply for a W.E.R.A. license and race on that circuit.

Now THAT's a trailer! Where'd you get it and for how much? How heavy is it without the bikes? I'm planning on getting one for my Odyssey soon...

The Ducati still looks the sexiest out of all three...

Nothing beats the satisfaction of doing serious injury to a tyre

The trailer was about $3,000. It's 23' long and 108" wide. I think it weighs about 2,000 lbs, but not sure. I got it locally.

Thanks for the props...

Where did you get your fuel containers at? How much fuel do they hold and do you have any better pics of them?

They came from my local Honda motorcycle dealer. I think they hold about 5 gallons. They belong to my friends so I don't know how much..

I had the Diablo Corsa's and they did pretty good. I came out of the corners so hard that they slid a little, but the fronts never missed a beat. The RR smoked those tires. He can't even ride on them anymore. They are demolished. He was running the Michelin Pilot Race tires. Mike had no complaints from them. They were probably the stickiest tires he'd ever had...

Someone talking smack about VIR? I'll see you on north or south

I rode an aprilia w/ diablo corsas once. I guess they're a good DOT street/trackday. I love208gps. Never really got into the h2s. I think they're too expensive and really make you pay w/ the supersofts. But if you can get em, why run just softs? That's how they get you
