Quoted "Sonsky also commented that the clutch didn’t seem to pleased with his antics after a couple wheelies."

Well no duh! So after a few retarded attempts at wheelie play, he ruined the clutch on a $72,000 motorcycle.


....again, I'll say it....I'm going to lean towards insanely stupid.

D16 wheely = awesome.

Wheelies are way fun... Even more so when they are out of the corner, crossed up, and power, vs 12o'clock and balance point...

What do you do about wheelies when the bike you are riding will power wheelie in 4th, and in 5th with the slightest hint of a bump in the road? You wheelie the hell out of it! I almost ran off the track at Buttonwillow in the top of 5th because I didnt get the front end down! Not gonns shut 'er down until the brake marker baby!

D16 or not, its just a motorbike, and it should be beat on!

Hell, one of the big problems with the D16 is that guys dont ride them hard enough, and they carbon load the pistons and then you get valve to head issues... Beat on the thing!

But I guess if you cant wheelie..... Wink

You hit the nail on the head. I think the people who are most vocal against wheelies are the ones who can't do them.

Alternatively, they just don't approve--reasonably so, I might add--that a person with the taste to buy a Ducati would treat a work of art so irresponsibly and so boorishly.  Harumph.

If you were a true Ducatisti, it would be a fully enclosed and airconditioned trailer.

Agreed.  Because it's hard to carry the tirewarmers and the stands if you try to ride there.
