I support any decision as long as it keeps you on two wheels.

I probably would have pulled him hard from a dig since all he does is spin down low.

I can't imagine going 150 on a bike. I don't even like going beyond 80.

You'd be going that fast on the track lol. I was getting up to about 140+ (indicated... so probably around 130~) on the straight. Really not that bad when you don't have to worry about cars, etc.

Yea, I try to do that when there aren't cars around. I was scared shitless to begin with, now it doesn't bother me at all.

Hell, when I first started riding, going 45 felt like I was going 80 lol. Once you're comfortable, your confidence will go up. Just don't go over your head and you'll be fine.

I havent ridden the Ducati in two days because last time I rode it in the rain it started to idle really rough and even backfire when I came to a stoplight. I think what happened MAAAAAYBE is that water came in through the runners and since the air filters are old and dirty, the water loosed some shit up and sent it on in. I checked the spark plugs/fuel filter/etc...just couldn't get into the airbox cuz its such a PITA.
