That's what I was thinking as well . I'm going to crazy school in December to try and get some more crazy into me .
Were you born crazy or is this something that needs to be worked on ?

It's been an evolutionary process.
But I think I've always been pretty out there from when I was a child.
Being banned from playing in the other kid's yards by their parents and everything is a pretty good indicator looking back on it now.

I think I also make other people crazy as well. Especially women.
Maybe they're better at covering it up, but their cover gets blown in the fullness of time because they can't keep up the façade.
Or they start out ok, but I do their heads in and they go nuts.
Come to think of it, one was threatening to throw herself under a bus at one point:(

To which I replied that when I see a test where a heavier motorcycle with less claimed HP covered 1/4mile in a quicker fashion with higher top speed I start to suspecd Ducati is overdoing its claims comparing to its competition, to which you replied: habba habba hubba"¦infinite number of variables "¦And this is where I see you taking your stance.

To which motorcycle are you referring? The HP4 featuring launch control? There is a lot more to 1/4 mile times than crank HP, surely you are aware of that.

Have you noticed how well JL seems to pull out from the field at the beginning of MotoGP races? Hmm ... his bike must be the fastest. Honda must be overdoing its RC213V crank HP claims.

So for many thousands more Ducati has such inferior electronics it is unable to overcome this challenge despite lighter weight and more HP? You sure know how to bring some cheer in to the hearts of fellow R owners..... Way to go Duckie ;)

I have no idea what you said here as I do not follow racing or other manufactures.

This discussion seems to irritate you a great deal, all I was trying to do here is to pick a on Dennis...a little, and what I thought at the time were his overly optimistic views of this beloved manufacture; little I knew there were people seriously invested in production numbers . You could have this argument if that would make you feel better.... I don't really care one way or the other what 1199 has at the crank.

All the Best. :D

Can we get back to financial planning please. This HP discussion is a tired argument.

I agree.

I have a kid on the way and Im considering selling him or her off to somebody rich so I can get me a shiny new SL. I need to trade in my newly purchased R because it sucks and its slow.

I don't think many R owners would lose sleep over not having the fastest 1/4 mile times. There are plenty of other platforms better suited for straight line drag racing and what the Pani may lack in this department, it makes up for in bounds in others.

Sounds good; nothing personal.
 
The website seemed to unlock at around 12:30 PM mountain time for the mechanical stuff. I imagine the same tomorrow (for me) too.

Now there is somebody desperate to find out what's going on.
It's only past 5 A.M. over there :D

I admit I am desperate. I can not help it because I am a fan . ( one of those who sleeps in a movie house to watch the latest star wars or would camp out to get the latest game console).

How light is it? and lastly does it have a radiator fan? I kept on looking at the dissected parts and I can not see any radiator fan, my dealer assured me that it has a radiator fan. but hey he assured me that the Panigale will run every one over in wsbk.
