I can't stand that guy. lol. Has some cool bikes and I'll torture myself as long as I can watching his vids to see them!!
Thank you. Yes, it is certainly a dream to be able to have this bike and set up like this. I walk into the garage and have to pinch myself. Brings a devilish smile every time. lol.
The 1299 was a beast. I had the 1199. That thing was raw. It also had every ailment they were known for with the early production bikes. Was your classic "Ducati ownership experience". lol. I think the quality of their builds is much better than when they made the 1199. Or at least I'm hoping so. Pretty heavily invested in red bikes at the moment.
i respect your honesty, lady. If i started a thread, it would be an "ALL U CAN EAT" character assassination. from reply number 1 up until page 257.

Honestly my 1299 fueling was pretty bad on the Evo Ducati map when I installed the exhaust. A tuner on Ducati forum had a fix for the stalling at times when coming to a stop.
After that I did about 15,000 miles of pure adrenalin riding.. She was amazing, but as you know the hot ass from exhaust wasn't fun Hahah!!!
Miss it when we do the tail of dragon tho.
I just sold my S1000R and I'm going to pick up a Tuono V4 this fall tho.

I love the white nose/tail. I always wanted to do that with my 1199.
Also love the Aprilia. If we had a stronger support network, I would very likely have gotten a Tuono instead of the Hyper. That V4 is pure sex.
Here is the tiniest pic of the 1199. And, ironically, was the beginning of the end of the beginning for my flip flops on sport bikes. lol. Shortly after this pic was taken, and all legal proceedings concluded, this girl got traded for a Triumph Tiger 800 XCA. lol.

he is the type of guy to push someone down a full flight of 35 stairs... THEN say.. "I only pushed him down the FIRST step"... He did the rest himself. Its not my fault.
Haha. Epic pic.
I sent that pic to my wife just after I got pulled over. She was most unpleased. I got it for "greater than 35 MPH over". Yeah, that was exciting. I learned that getting "just" a lawyer wasn't enough. I needed the "right" lawyer. Like the guy who worked on the prosecuting DA's re-election team. Hehe. All in I was about $750 and it was plead down to non-criminal speeding. With no infractions for 12 months it came off my record. Much better than a Class A misdemeanor (up to 12 months in jail, $2500 fine). There were a few months of real anxiety there. lol.

10+ years ago, w/o a lawyer, over 100, I plead guilty and was sentenced to two days in jail, decent size fine, having a supervised PO w/ random drug screens and having to watch videos which had nothing to do with speeding. I was not under the influence nor did I get a sobriety test, I was just charged with speeding.
alot of cities/places dont even chase bikes.
I have a 21 S1000RR, the new Panigale V4S are so expensive, bmw has been spoiling us for years with heated grips and cruise control. IF Ducati added this to the Panigale I might consider paying 30k+ for a motorcycle!
My last bike was a 19 R1250GS. What a machine. It had all the billet packages, etc. I really liked that bike. Precision built bike. The shifter was "jewel" like.
My pani and hyper both have heated grips. Was an add-on though... lol No cruise or ****ing gas gauge though. lol
But, honestly, I'm beyond specs and numbers at this stage in my life. It what speaks to me and warms my cockles. lol.
Little video from this weekend. Wife and daughter were following behind me.
If you dont wanna get the brembo z04 pads... Fedoro makes a really good brake pad also. Braketek makes a hell of a rotor (not that that makes any difference in performance, but the pads will. These are track pads... dont know how well they would like getting wet. I went through ALL this bs when i comverted to a set of Gp4rx calipers myself.. Im STILL waiting on the rear caliper. I bought a whole new UNIT 5 triple tree that is 5 pounds lighter and CF bars... sooo the whole damn front end has to come apart again..... And if I find a set of Ohlins FGRT208 forks Ill do that at the same time the front end gets violated. dreading taking it alllll apart AGAIN.
