Got a text from Mike, he picked up the SF from SSD this afternoon and reports that it is running great!...I spoke with Shawn yesterday and he told me that they would eat the cost of parts & labor on the job... waytogo

Spoke too soon, he's now experiencing high idle at startup (3-4k rpm) and throttle weirdness...I feel for the guy... Sad

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

Sad that SSD can't seem to find a fix...

I realize these things are often not easily diagnosed, but it seems that with Wil's departure SSD is lacking when it comes to Ducati knowledge...btw, my least favorite SSD tech is now the BMW guy...

Are you trying to make me feel better, or something?

He should give that machine back.  It hasn't been happy since he took it from you.

I don't know if he's ready to "give" it back, but I could probably get it for considerably less than he paid for it...but then, do I want it... Tongue

All is well. No, I don't think I would've done this at home.

Why wouldn't you like him?  This sequence first showed up as a few stills over on Racing & Trackdays in the "Easy as 1-2-3" thread. People asked if there was a video but none surfaced until now that I know of.  The little shit adds gas to plant the rear end so as to re-plant the front. How's that for feel?

I like him, just hate to see one guy win every time out...his new tact of laying back and then pouncing makes things more interesting though... Grin

I love the way he lets the bike dance around under him, it's like watching a graceful ballet of sorts...

He's just willing to go fast enough that the bike is just that loose, or unstable, underneath him. If the other blokes were willing to do that then they'd win more often. Loose, unstable --- that's another term for right on the edge of crashing.
