HyperRetard's Track Day - Ducati.ms

HyperMotard21 · Jun 12th, 2008, 11:09 am

After 2 years of driving due to an accident in 2005 that left me with a broken arm in 4 places and refractured 2 of the same bones again in 2006, (In total 3 plates and 19 screws) I got myself a HM about 2 months ago.

Doing photography, I was supposed to shoot the racers from yesterday right up to Sunday but the temptation was too great!

Kept the camera equiptment and rode the track today in Sepang North Track.

Boy, oh boy.... it's good to be back! I had FUN! Ironically the last team I raced for in 2006 was for Ducati Malaysia on the 999.

Here are some pics taken by my photography mentor. Do enjoy them

Fantastic pictures!

Thank you for sharing! Be safe!

The dirt bike in me is never going to figure out how you dudes hang the knees out.

Unless having the passenger peg out is the key to ripping the track!

I'll have to try that!

I'm so jealous.

Astute observation!

Well, HyperRetard, hopefully you'll be able to shake the cobwebs off soon, and somehow get back in the groove...

J/K! Awesome pics!

Cheers

I'm still trying to get to my first trackday. I had a plan to hit up Brainerd in July, but that's not going down. I plan on using my 748 for it, but if I get a Hyper by then I'll use that too. Should be a nice little change between the two. I'd rather use a hyper anyways so I don't look so much like poser put-puting around the track on a superbike.

Hey tunefx, The road bike in me is never going to figure out you dudes hang then foot out and sit up straight in a corner? Although our roads in QLD in big enough ruts etc.

Hey Retard, you look like you were havin a little fun out there, how about some sideways action, you know, knee down, thumbs up. The simple stuff

I'm still trying to get comfortable in the turns. The suspension is working against me. The spring rates are not meant for my body weight (55kg). Hehe

The rear pegs are left open on purpose, consider it the first (split second) protection to the rear section of my bike in case I bin it.

Those aftermarket crash sliders for the rear will not work in case of a crash

I will have to respect Xaus, tucking in the rear, knee down with thumbs up is his thing. If I duplicate it, it will make him look mortal .... Yeah right, like I can do that! Ha ha ha ha

I'll slide it OUT of a turn but would not dream of sliding IN
