I stand by my statement that the TL is cooler than any other litre v-twin, but it lacks everywhere that really matters.

Aint dry clutches a funny thing lol, youll get it sussed, but dont take lessons from Dani Pedrossa.
The day you and your brothers are all in the same class is something to look foreward to indeed. Bring it on .
Cheers Paul.

Thanks mate, I do tend to show my joy, and cottoned on early that others get into it too. The guy with all the gusto, is actually my sponsor Rob, it is impossible to be anything but beaming in his presence. The glass aint half full, cos he's the first guy to grab it off you and fill it up!

My gorgeous girl Vicki, for more than I'll put on public forum, and evrything you did to help with the bike (Yeah yeah yeah, I should have believed you when you said how great the Ducati is), Kerry for all your work on the bouncy bit, the bike felt mint, and better with every tweak you made, so many others that helped and gave support.

So for those of us a bit behind what sort of Ducati is it? And some pics?

Finished 11th I think.

Fuck it was funny seeing you MXing it out of the old sweeper. "Hehe, I'll take that" I was surprised to see that your bike had more power than mine.

Will be good to see you on it when you're a bit more familiar with it.

PS. Don't follow me, I'm lost

Yeah, lost a bit of drive for some reason out in the dirt, I was just as surprised to see my bike pulling away from quite a few inlines, very encouraged too.

Aha, a name to the bike!

It was just a piss around session out there, I tend to ride a bit faster in race mode. I had orders from my better half that I wasn't allowed to go nuts on the new bike.
