My first track day at Morgan Park near Warwick in Queensland. I was so sick of getting speeding fines so I took her to the track. I'm no Casey Stoner but it was awesome fun.
Your positioning was far better than the guy in front but I am surprised at the difference pulling away after the bends. The noises we hear is the peg touching deck? I have a 2008 Sprint 1050, I had the peg on tarmac noise once due to an exit signalling white van driver on a phone that decided he needed to go around again instead of exiting with me (2 lanes exit) The bike is capable I just need half the experience you have. As with nature, 3 and 5 works well, it's why i like the triple as a good allrounder with a great sound. Respect and thx for positing mate.
Thanks Graham, those Ducati's have awesome torque and pull like bulls on corner exit. It was also my first trackday so I was a bit inexperienced. The scraping sound is definitely the pegs which got ground into oblivion and actually caused me to buy a Daytona 675 that solved that problem on track. The 955 Sprint was was my first road bike after 25 years without a bike and really wanted the 1050 but the missus didn't like the stepped seating so we went for a 955 with the flatter seat.
Hi There, I know I am slow to the party but great video. Can I ask you. Did you have a steering damper fitted to this bike? The reason I ask is I just bought the same bike.
Thanks Murray, the bike was bone stock apart from the muffler and tyres. They are very capable old bikes but a bit limited for track riding. Cheers Dave
