No it’s only cool if it’s tied to cold starting a WSBK Italian Ducati, or a regular V4 but only if you are Italian, otherwise you’re just a poser.

A Frenchy might be able to pull it off though.

Rick yours has to make tea, while you are wearing old school motorcycle goggles.

Well Steven, as JetPrime and Spider, are both Italian, I thought they'd fit well. Obviously, the latte machine will only work when the V4 is running. Goes without saying. And, a third party manufacturer would make handles for it (maybe raceseats.it). Each latte machine would only work on specific model years, and would not be compatible with others (although, the chassis and hardware will probably be the same, but you'll need to find this information out on random forums, where the posters don't quite give all the information)

All of you prols clearly know nothing about espresso. Grinder is most important.

That said, Corse supplies me with bespoke burrs for the grinder.

There's a tiny company in the UK who think they know, more, than Corse. They offer improved burrs for the grinder, to a custom druid formula. Lmk if you want their contact details DMd. I'm not allowed to share in the public domain.

Clearly you’re not a serious Ducatista, the WSBK bike has a very specific startup procedure that requires some cranking if I understand it properly, the whole setup is engineered to use the steam from the espresso maker, (or is it the milk steamer) to spin a turbine that cranks the starter. It’s a totally different setup than the AiM side mounted GPS activated latte maker that auto brews when you arrive at the track, or you weekly Ducatista meetup. The latter has a wind activated pinwheel that attaches to the winglets, so the faster you go the more the system charges, thereby shortening the latte cycle times.

As an aside I think Motoxcambri can match your winglet latte pinwheelss to you custom bike livery.

Going the Chuckwalla this Friday, 1st time there, any tips?

Do they have power outlets or should I bring the generator?

Watch out for turns 9-10. They call it crash corner. Off camber with elevation. Very slow corner. Low grip first session in the morning. Watch back straight if it's windy. Gets some sand. Bring lattes please...

This Friday is the practice day before CVMA Round 5 Saturday and Sunday races. It'll run CCW and 4 groups (racer 1, racer 2, track 1, track 2) of 20 minutes each, so your start time will shift every hour. Bring a generator as there is no AC unless you reserve an RV stall. They have decent restrooms and showers too, and I think a food truck. New racer school will be happening in racer 2 group, and if you stick around until 4:30, you can see their 3-lap mock race, which is usually pretty fun. The track was resurfaced like 6 months ago and is smooth and has good grip. The track is completely opposite to Auto Club Speedway, as it's all about carrying speed through turns and the straights are much shorter. I don't consider it a hard braking track and I'm learning to be lighter/longer on the brakes to carry more entry speed. I spend most of my time in 3rd gear. I advise not even trying to go fast through T9 (crash corner). This turn is way off-camber and gets a lot of people. Just get through that one and have fun everywhere else. The Bowl (T13) is pretty unique and awesome. Try to use the painted rumble strips as markers, as the desert tends to look the same in every direction. They also usually have apex cones that can be helpful. I'll be there Friday and will say Hi if I see you. Have fun.
 
Right on guys thanks, been watching track vids for weeks to try to get a bit visually familiar with it ahead of time, but vids can’t tell you about stuff like turn 9
 
@Fry "Try to use the painted rumble strips as markers"

That is a pro tip right there.....turn in at the beginning of the white painted curbing on the outside and stretch your eye to the END of the exit curbing's white paint. Until you start picking up the corner worker towers and a few other far out reference points the curbing is a game changer, especially with all the double apexes.

Some fast and talented people at that track, get ready for people to be very close!

I can run that pace at a 5/8 scale! My god the entry speed into the bowl is serious....my biggest take away is the rider using his cursor to show the slowest part of some of the longer turns, really breaks it down and gives a nice target on entry.
