Had a short chat with Troy Bayliss at the Sydney Motorcycle Show today (along with 1000 other people) it was great that he took the time to chat to so many people. Ducati Australia annouced a new bike and team for ASBK next year and TB is part of the team. Not as a rider though.
We gave them a wash today and decided to take a few quick pictures. Im loving the new bike. There are a few more if anyones interested.
Im going to throw some Rizoma rearsets on my Tri tomorrow off of my base. My base is going to be for sale here soon if anyone knows anyone.
:cool:

Pulled it out onto the local parkway and was cruising along in my usual mildmhooligan manner (=...
The great man was in town over the weekend had him sign the tank and a photo of him sitting on my bike.
Now to work out if to leave it on or just enjoy the photo. What would you do ?
Seemed like a top bloke unfortunately the 1199 they had ready for him fouled a plug and he couldn't ride...
Heres a youtube vid of Troy Bayliss and Marinelli on their thoughts of the sought after bike of 2012.

Troy Bayliss talks about the Ducati 1199 in a Question and Answer session:

"I know people may be worried by what the front-end will be like with what's going on with the MotoGP bike, but there's nothing to worry about. it's the best bike I've ridden on the brakes...
