      Once again on a multi day roadtrip. Headed for Tucuman, Argentina. This yesterday roadside pic is somewhere between Sucre and Potosi, still within Bolivia.
      Bike is running wonderfully after the last tune up.

        Heading up to Sepang International Circuit this weekend with Ducati Singapore. This will be my first track day on a F1, MotoGP and Grade 1 circuit. Boy am I'm excited!! Feels surreal!

            @goosehd yeah defs would. hope the bike mount will be okay for track.

            can't say the edits would be great because I don't have wifi connectivity to the phone and the desktop editor is pretty unnatural...

              I like to ride this around when it decides to start and not try to light itself on fire.

                @goosehd Absolutely knackered last night. came back to the hotel, had a few beers watched the football and straight to bed. haven't had a chance to go through all the footage. but here's a couple of snippets..

                  @louisbosco So very cool and it looks like you were dragging knees 🙂

                  Unbelievable and thank you!!

                    @goosehd haha thank you for the kind words. I’ve got plenty to learn in leaning and dragging knees. Took useful feedback from more season riders about cornering and it definitely made more sense in the later sessions of the day

                    Biggest adaptation is riding a straight bar upright on the street and adjusting to lean angles on the track. Also the wind on a naked is insane at 250+

                        @louisbosco Really enjoyed that. I was watching where and how your head was positioned as you were going into and out of the corners,and a couple of times it looks like you take a peek over your shoulder,as if to see if anyone is there. Is that just habit from riding on the street?

                          @Jett129 not really. We’re running without any mirrors or tail tidy on this bike with the track prep.

                          Therefore, there’s no way I could know if anybody was behind me. Looking over the shoulders just make sure nobody does anything stupid cutting onto the racing line.

                            @Denman-John will try to do a video of one full lap once I get my bike back and figure out the lap data from there. Will probably also pick the best 😂

                                  @motojobobo thanks! definitely should, regardless if you're serious about racing or not. it's definitely a place where you can go at your comfort without worrying about daily traffic.

                                    @Jett129 from a racing perspective, you have to take note of where the person behind is coming from. from a normal track day perspective, we just have to be aware of our surroundings, especially during warm up and cool down laps in order not to get in the way of others.

                                      @louisbosco Any big takeaways from your time on the track? Things you’ve been doing right or wrong that will make you a better rider?

                                      I bet knowing your machine and its limits has to be one of the biggest lessons.

                                      Edit: How fast are you? Middle of the pack, faster…surprised yourself in either regard?

                                        as this was a pretty small group (about 30-40riders I reckon), it was just split into 2. which gave a lot of people decent track space.

                                        A - People with previous Sepang Circuit experience (more seasoned riders)
                                        B- First timers at Sepang circuit. (Including me)

                                        I was top of that B pack, as I have track experience (racing lines, braking point etc) although not with bikes.

                                        Through chatting more season riders clock anywhere between 2:25 and 2:35. and my best lap of the way was 2:43, which most have mentioned is very decent for a first timer. My average over the day would be between 2:45-2:50.

                                        Through feedback as well, I've found that my lean angles have greatly improved. But the biggest takeaway would be confident and to find a later braking point/ trail braking and also perfecting the leaning into slower corners..

                                          Oh and also motorsports is an expensive hobby. Swapped a fresh set for this track day and I’ve maybe gone through 80-85% of the useable life of the tyre. That said, I’m hoping to do another weekend in May or June maybe.. with some upgrades
