Title: A Riding Technique question... [UPDATE: Yes; it's a joke] Post by: NorDog on August 28, 2009, 12:30:47 PM So, sometimes when I'm pushing hard in a corner the front tire washes out and loses traction. Every time this happens the bike falls on its side. How do I stop this? [laugh]

Post by: Raux on September 06, 2009, 10:27:51 PM I had a friend once that saved a front end slide. it was in the mountains in Italy with no room for error, his front end washed but somehow he turned the bars that it flicked the bike up and he held on. it was a early 90's Ducati. i don't remember many more details. but i do know that a few months later he broke his femur in a crash on the same roads when a rally-type car was coming down the mountain and cut his lane off on a righthander. somehow the evil motorcycle god was mad he saved the front slide :(

"Suppose" to do nothing with your knees in a crash, your not riding anymore, your crashing. Scares me to think some of you have devised "techniques" for crashing other then get the @#% away from the bike and getting orientation. Edited - Title: Re: A Riding Technician question...

Title: Re: A Riding Technique question... [UPDATE: Yes; it's a joke] Post by: Cloner on October 14, 2009, 10:53:05 AM Check the Ducati Performance catalog for part number 7548869p. It's a set of training wheels, but it only fits two models. Since your bike isn't one of them you'll have to buy a new 1198R or Desmosedici to try them out.
You can tell the S.O. that Cloner made you get it (as long as I can ride it once). [beer] Title: Re: A Riding Technician question...
