Wearing her street clothes, at Hallett Motorsports Park near Tulsa, OK on 9/7/08. My first track day. My form needs a little work, and my knee puck velcro on my pants needs to be moved lower on my leg...
Doing some 'outside only' passing:
Here's a guy having not-so-much fun right in front of me:
You don't want hard stuff, its too brittle. The stuff you want is similar to shark skinz, which is a bit more flexible. I'm always shocked how flexible the shark skinz are, compared with E-racings or DP for example. I have a friend with DP fairings and its hard to stretch them onto his bike, he couldn't use extended frame sliders because the fairing simply wouldn't stretch.
As somebody else pointed out in a previous post, shark skins are pricey because they're the best. If you don't need or want the best, save money, get the E-Racings, they're STUPID cheap and for the price of 1 set of shark skins you can get two! This way, when you crash, you've got a spare set waiting! Its what I'm gonna end up doing...
OMG, I wanna go to new hampshire international speedway SOOOO badly! I was there this summer for a race event, sans motorcycle!!! AAK!!! I was so pissed off, I wanted to race so badly! I didn't have any of my gear, or I would have just rented a bike...

I've been thinking about a WERA tour for a while. A track day wouldn't mean enough, racing on the track, would be worth while. I know somebody who wasn't a good rider, but one the WERA championship because he showed up to every single race! Its gonna take me another year of riding to become fast enough for a stunt like that. I'm seriously debating buying an RV and working from the road for a year! WOW, what a hoot that would be!

Hard and expensive! At least with Shark Skins, they're made in the US, so your not having to pay for import taxes and such. If you had a xx8 bike, I'd say, find a nice used set of REAL carbon fiber DP fairings, they're schweet! But the xx9 and newer, its much nicer to have the shark skinz due to the design and flexibility.
Hi,
I'm a new Ducati rider and new to this forum as well. Earlier today my 749 dropped because of windy conditions( I live in the western part of Norway so this is normal).
the mirror, steering handle and clutch broke off. The side also got some scratches. Do any of you guys have any tips...
Knowing my fairings are rare, and hard to replace, I decided to make my own.
My last Duc had been backed over in a parking lot, knocked off it's kickstand, tracked, etc...I wanted to make the 1198S Corse my own style.
So first, I bought a spare fairing set off fleaBay, and a spare gas tank.
Let...
Gentlemen, ladies. I can probably say I purchased my first bid motor Ducati 4 days ago. Im very hands on and like to take my bikes apart and do as much as I possibly can go the machine itself. The Dash and windscreen seem to be giving me issues. Any input on how I remove this from my 2012 base...
After a lot of confusion here's the low down on what we can and can't do when it comes to the xx9 plastics that differ by model years:
1) 03-04 plastics (left, right or nose) cannot be interchanged with 05-06 plastics. The mounting tabs where the sides meet the nose are different.
2) 05-06...
