At 12,000km my chain snapped. Luckily it flung out clear. So did my 20,000km service ahead of time
So at 12,000km here's what it has "consumed"
4 sets of rubbers (don't use Michelin PowerOne unless you LOVE wobbles while fully upright doing 130kmh and above)
2 sets of front brake pads
1 new chain
set of plugs
1 front sprocket
6 oil filters
1 airfilter

Hmmm anything else? Ha ha ha
Oh, valve clearance checked and dealer said it's as accurate as it came off production line. Awesome Ducati. Oh yeah and clutch plates are so intact (not worn more thn 30%) mechanic couldn't believe it either till I told him perhaps it's coz I go clutchless shifts up and down where possible

Lost my Axio carbon lookin tailbag (me doofus forgot to strap and rode off) so bought a new one. Red this time and customized it

Extra USD10 for the stickers

And here's the latest video

+ eleventy billion. i usually don't enjoy stunt vids, but yours is pretty cool i must admit. nice soundtrack too.

I know it's a lot to ask but, can you take pics of the camera mounted up in the different locations you used. I assuming "guessing" you used a GoPro.

The video is great.

Love the tank bag -- where did you get the stickers?

CAlexio · Sep 27th, 2009, 9:19 pm

there is something really cool about that vid... excellent soundtrack choice.

I really need to learn to do wheelies like that. I still can't figure out how to wheelie after years of riding. embarassing

Sick50ford/Jeff 4510 /Johnch - Thanks

Mangler7 - stock 525 changed it to another 525 but somehow this brand is chunkier looking

Unfast1 - I will do that when I get the chance, however, when the setup where the front wheel is to the right of the frame was a one off setup. Rigged with gaffer tape goose neck etc using the sidestand. The rest of the setup angle is easy to shoot for you

ttime4four - Bike accessory shop has sticker cutting service. The ducati word and logo are original decals you can get from your dealer

Alexio - In my 16 years of hoisting, I've flipped once on my old KLR650. Shit happens and as long as you can except the possibilities of losing control on your beloved Tard then go ahead. Otherwise come to Malaysia and attend my backyard/parking lot wheelie school

using an XT600 rigged with a flip bar with "trainer wheel" hee hee

Thanks.
Looking for different places to mount my cam. The straight in view is what I am looking for. Was just curious to see it mounted on all those different views.

Would love to get some of those angles on the track.
