Went to the dragstrip tonight - Ducati.ms

Ran a 12.9 and a 13.1 in the quarter
Couldnt keep the front end down in 1st or 2nd gear
I ran against a R1 and my best friends quick ass ZX9
Tank racked my nuts hard onthe first run
The track was so tacky that wheel spin was impossible

The Jap bikers were very impressed with my new bike
I ran over a armadillo on the way back home and didnt crash

Damn armadillos! Got to watch out for those suckers

We have deer, turkeys, wild pigs, and bicyclists to watch out for here.

If i had been on my ZX9 I would have probably went down
He doubled back in front of me and i was abel to miss him with my front wheel
It felt like i ran over a curb

if you keep the front end down and pratice your launches you can shave a second off your time i went to the strip a few months ago take a look

I've never been on the dragstrip so this might be a stupid question - could you use a holeshot launch control? or would this make the forks too stiff at high speed?
