Nice!! [Dolph]
Very nice
That.
Is why [thumbsup].
Sweet ride, you had me turning my head to the inside of the turns and trying to hang off my desk chair... [laugh]
But, I hate pavement like that. You just never know if you are going to hit one of those cracks that has an offset to it that will throw you on your head.
SoOOO nice, Beautiful.

After a hard winter we get a lot of that, some of the bumps don't return to their original flat status and/or develop cracks. The solution is to almost stand up on the pegs and let the bike do it's dance routine under me - it bounces a bit and the settles down again.

Your roads look much like NH/New England roads.
That's why the bike has forks...
and a rear shock. ;D

;D Me too! Trying to eat lunch and not get crossed up.
I understand, in the video it didn't look like any of the cracks were very bad. We have been in an exceptional drought & heat wave in my area and some of the cracks are 2 to 3 inches wide and I've seen a few areas where one side has dropped an inch or more. State highway crews have repaired any that severe on major roads but some of the county roads I like are getting scary these days. I ride off road also so I'm familiar with placing weight on the pegs to lower the center of gravity and allowing the suspension to do it's thing but a sudden drop of an inch or two is still pretty upsetting. Especially in a tight curve.
Thanks for the video! How much elevation change was there?

About 300 m / 1,000 feet
Very nice, I would have done half of that standing on the pegs!
+1 on the NE roads. Although you have to add cages across the centerline, that's how we roll.
You done good, thanks for sharing.
I would call that video "2nd and 3rd Gear, example of the perfection of a 2V Ducati!"

??? I click "insert hyperlink" and then paste what I get from right-clicking on the video and "copy video URL". Then it works, even if what I paste is slightly different than what you pasted.
How did you do it and what is youtu.be ?

I'm not sure Lars...that's what your link said. Perhaps it's a youtube variant that occurs when you don't list a movie, ie when you don't share it with everyone.
I opened your link and copied and pasted the url, and voila.

Ok - from where did you copy - top adress bar / 'share' box / right click ?
For me, it works only if I do the 'insert hyperlink' and right click & copy on the video itself. (and it's still different than yours)(,but works)
(what do you mean, there are more important things in life ? )
