UW7idTcijTU Getting faster. Need to work on some trail braking into 6 and to stay in the power on 7,8,9.

Anyone else going? I'm renting a trailer & may have space for 1 more... leaving from Ashburn @ 6am.

So I had my first ever track day last weekend. I am a good confident rider on the road. But track is a totally different experience. Did not expect it to be such a challenge. I just could not get the weight off my hands to freely turn the bike after hard breaking before a turn. Got a little...

Great pics taken by Bob Stengel from 22photos.net at Canaan last Sunday.

Thought Id find out what track days are all about. Its beginning of winter here so waited until the last minute to book in to make sure the weather was good, there was four options novice, medium slow, medium fast, and race all were booked out except for racer and novice. I would rate myself...

Sharing my first superbike experience.

So ive been on a parts purchsing/track crack bemge getting ready for the new season. Last season I traded my 959 in for a brand new leftover 1199r, yes a virgin! Last Friday I started out with planning out my tires for the season. I found a Supercorsa SP in northern Scotland for $242. With...

There seems to be very few 60 series 200 section rear tyres for the V4. What tyres are you using for track days? If you are using 55 series, are you using the recalibration function? All advice appreciated.

A question to the other 1199 owners out there who both track and street ride their bikes... Are the mirrors and tail section easily removed? And by "easily" I should clarify. They don't seem all that hard to unbolt but I'm curious what kind of wiring there may be that would need to be...

It was a ton of fun and long over due! Not the ideal day since it was cold and the track was damp for a bit. 4-5 guys went off track throughout the sessions which I guess is normal? Had standing water in certain sections so couldn't push too hard, but the v4 was sublime and forgiving. Felt...

Have not had much time to ride the V4 yet but I am taking it to the Circuit of the Americas this weekend. How did you prep your bike?

I am going to go run My V4 Speciale at COTA this weekend and wanted some knowledge on prep. I haven't had much time to ride mine yet so I will ask a few simple questions: Is there a way to turn off the DRLs? Do I have to disconnect the Brake light or is there a way to do it via the display? I...

I have a problem of my clutch lever going soft after a track day or 1.5 track days on a weekend event. It happened twice already. Feels very spongy with lots of free travel like there is air in it, and it messes up quick shifter I believe. I had several misshifts in COTA this past weekend at...

Hey everyone just wanted to share my first ever track day and it couldn't be more special then completing it on the V4. I was so nervous when i got to the track. Im usually a very confident rider on the road. Have been riding for years and finally pulled the trigger to do it. felt very...

For sale is my used 1299 Ducati track day Blackout kit. For those that do track days but don't want to risk the super expensive LED front headlight unit or LED tail light. Front Blackout headlight is perfect except for normal track day wear. Rear Blackout tail light has a small crack as...

2014 Pikes @ The Ridge

The Superbike Slayer. Love this bike so, so much. Sorry for the bad camera angle....really frustrating but now I know for next time to angle it up higher. Gotta fix vibration on the tail mount too. Braaaaap... https://youtu.be/-Zhu3oYE-i8 https://youtu.be/W3aLW9EgYtw

Hi all, Just thought I'd share some thoughts with you having recently had my 1299S converted to a track bike. I bought the bike new in 2015 for weekend blasts on the road and even with only 2,400 miles on the clock, I felt that I'd safely got what I can out of it on the roads. In short, I...
