Title: H2R Track Day photos..........(finally) Post by: Gone Ape on August 10, 2008, 04:59:04 PM Well, pirated photos from Michael Coker Photography (great photographer)
www.duderonomy.com Me (http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t113/theducatifan/TrackDay%20H2R%20080208/me10.jpg) 2CardDuc (http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t113/theducatifan/TrackDay%20H2R%20080208/scott10.jpg) M1Tanker (http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t113/theducatifan/TrackDay%20H2R%20080208/M1_A1.jpg) Me (again) Long Long way to touch down.........it will never happen *sigh* (http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t113/theducatifan/TrackDay%20H2R%20080208/me5.jpg) And then there's this 11 year old....on an 80cc gp special...(little punk was blistering fast!)

Do you own that bike? Im confused...
Title: Re: H2R Track Day photos..........(finally) Post by: Gone Ape on August 10, 2008, 05:22:39 PM While you're away, the mice will play!!!
Yeah, sold the S2r and stepped up to the Tuono R....I couldn't justify spending the needed cash for upgrades to the 800 and I just could not convince myself to go S4R (translation dUCATI aUstIn), and oh yeah, I was in the Exact Right Spot at the Exact Right Time and picked up the Ape from dealer's extrordinaire AF-1 in New Braunfels..... P.S. when we going riding? Title: Re: H2R Track Day photos..........(finally) Post by: Lorenzo on August 10, 2008, 05:40:14 PM no kiddin, thats great. Did you get a good trade in for that leather boot radiator mod?? How you like the new bike, different feel? I guess that makes me wonder what youll do with all your Ducati riding swag?
Lets get out soon. Title: Re: H2R Track Day photos..........(finally) Post by: Pedro-bot on August 10, 2008, 06:22:39 PM Lookin' SHARP!! [thumbsup]
Is it me or are the pegs on that Aprilia up and further back than on the Monster? How's it feel? Title: Re: H2R Track Day photos..........(finally) Post by: Gone Ape on August 10, 2008, 08:01:11 PM Lorenzo, I actually bought the Tuono before I sold the S2R....wifey said one MUST go...it wasn't a hard decision based on where I mentally needed to go......... ;)
Chill, the pegs are up higher and a bit farther back......After riding 2Card's "Cadillac" and TxDuc's "Bark-O-Lounger" this is kinda cramped.....I noticed 2Card was uncomfortable after 10 min of riding my bike! [cheeky] Think 848 without the handlebar forward lean.....it really fits me as I'm short armed and short legged even though I'm 5'10"..............go figure...but I have been kickin around adding maybe a RSVR top triple and clipons... Title: Re: H2R Track Day photos..........(finally) Post by: Red5 on August 10, 2008, 08:33:33 PM Excellent photowork. Is it just me or does that pic of the 11-yr old looks like he has a giant head photoshopped onto his body? [laugh]
(http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t113/theducatifan/TrackDay%20H2R%20080208/me5.jpg) Dude, don't worry about dragging the knee. That's pretty good form. [thumbsup] And you got some lean angle too! This is a pretty cool pic too.

I'm going to the next one.

Glad to have y'all out there. Oh, and you don't need to *pirate* anything from Mike's site - the pictures are just an added bonus to coming out. In fact, if you want your hi-res copies email him and let him know the file names... he will send them back to you. Brandon is *the kid*. He is the junior racer that I sponsor. He had his very first write up... it's in this month's issue of RoadRacing World (September 2008). It is a HALF page. VERY proud of him, and hope he keeps it up. (http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b56/azoomm/H2R/RoadRacingBrandon.jpg) Hope to see more of you out at the track.
