Jim,

You're a much more accomplished rider than myself and I plan on taking it
easy, even for myself. I'm tempted to stand up during the Rider's Meeting
and say "hey guys, when you roll up on me, just go around, I'm your moving
chicane for the weekend." I ride the twisties in the Hill Country as fast
as I want to go and clearance is never an issue.

I'm at the point in my life now where I'm not out to prove anything.  My
only goal is to have fun and get that great pic of cresting Turn 10 with
the Mullet (observation tower) in the background.

V/R, Mario

Mario, that generation of Ducati is an excellent track day tool.  Light
and not something that will over power you but enough to have fun.  One
thing to watch out for is the exhaust collector under the motor.  Where the
piped exit to the side and then head to the rear of the bike can be a
clearance issue.  If you hit it hard enough you can lift the rear wheel off
the ground.  Ask me how I know. 😱🏍  Fortunately after much excitement I
did not go down but I got those pipes shortened right after that and added
a shock from the next series SS which is about a half inch longer.  You can
see how little clearance there is in this photo.

Definitely some bumps, coming down the hill from turn 1 into 2 there were
several that went down after hitting that bump not sure about other
sections of the track.

There is another bump on the straight after turn 2 but it did not seem to
be a problem, but then I'm just some old dude that did track days, so on a
GP machine it also might be a problem. - Gene

"road hugging weight"...hahahaha...  My SS was out of commission for a
couple of years during which time I rode my GSXR-750.  After I got the SS
back together and took it out for a blast, it just didn't seem as fast as
it used to be.  I thought "hmm...must be the 35lbs I've put on..."  I also
thought that perhaps it didn't feel as fast in comparison to the GSXR, on
which I enjoyed many rapid rides.

When I got back from Kuwait in 2018, my friend Jeff Foster (RIP) convinced
me to take it to his ace Ducati technician.  Which I did.  When I got it
back, holy moly was it fast!  It wasn't the 35lbs (which I still had), it
was just the state of tune.

So, I'm 61yrs old and wanted to do a couple of track days before I got too
old.  I'm doing this COTA event and maybe, one or two smaller tracks next
year.  Maybe.  Then I think that itch will be scratched.

Mario,

Have fun and be safe. That is always something that pretty much goes hand
in hand.  It may have been my road hugging weight that caused some of the
issues.  I am jealous you are getting to ride there but my track days are
done.  I no long bounce when I fall.  I also demonstrated that crashing
sucks and it does not get better with practice.

I used to race many, many moons ago.  Not for very long or very well, but
I've always been drawn to the track and going around corners fast.  Going
fast in a straight line has its place but has never held a great hold on
me. Sure, it's fun to wick it up every now and then but it's not much of a
challenge.

Over the last week and a half, I met on different occasions a 79 and 80
yrs old gentlemen who still ride and they are an inspiration.  I hope I
last that long and am still riding too!  I was talking to the 80yr old and
telling him about the upcoming MotoGP race and my plan to do a track day
there.  His eyes got wide and he started asking me questions about how he
too could do a track day!  What a guy!

I am 75 and about 195 pounds and did my last track weekend about three
years ago.  The fun at track days is how fast you go around the corners,
not how fast you go on the straights.  Anyone can go fast in the
straights.  We had one rider in our club that gave up track days when he
turned 80!  It is not how old you are, it is how old you feel.  After my
last get off I found myself going slower and working harder to do it.  That
is when I sold my track day bike and all my track day gear.  I went to a
friend's track day to take pictures last month and the itch is back. I have
resisted it so far.

HAVE FUN.

Mario,

Have fun and be safe. That is always something that pretty much goes hand
in hand.  It may have been my road hugging weight that caused some of the

Mario, that generation of Ducati is an excellent track day tool.  Light
and not something that will over power you but enough to have fun.  One
thing to watch out for is the exhaust collector under the motor.  Where the
piped exit to the side and then head to the rear of the bike can be a
clearance issue.  If you hit it hard enough you can lift the rear wheel off
the ground.  Ask me how I know. 😱🏍  Fortunately after much excitement I
did not go down but I got those pipes shortened right after that and added
a shock from the next series SS which is about a half inch longer.  You can

During the broadcast on Motogp.com,  I heard them say that if the track
wasn’t fixed they wouldn’t be back. So for them to have it ready for April,
they have to get going on the resurfacing in the not too distant future I
would think. Fingers crossed. Gregg

I used to race many, many moons ago.  Not for very long or very well, but
I've always been drawn to the track and going around corners fast.  Going
fast in a straight line has its place but has never held a great hold on
me. Sure, it's fun to wick it up every now and then but it's not much of a
challenge.

Over the last week and a half, I met on different occasions a 79 and 80
yrs old gentlemen who still ride and they are an inspiration.  I hope I
last that long and am still riding too!  I was talking to the 80yr old and
telling him about the upcoming MotoGP race and my plan to do a track day
there.  His eyes got wide and he started asking me questions about how he
too could do a track day!  What a guy!

I am 75 and about 195 pounds and did my last track weekend about three
years ago.  The fun at track days is how fast you go around the corners,
not how fast you go on the straights.  Anyone can go fast in the
straights.  We had one rider in our club that gave up track days when he
turned 80!  It is not how old you are, it is how old you feel.  After my
last get off I found myself going slower and working harder to do it.  That
is when I sold my track day bike and all my track day gear.  I went to a
friend's track day to take pictures last month and the itch is back. I have
resisted it so far.

HAVE FUN.

During the broadcast on Motogp.com,  I heard them say that if the track
wasn’t fixed they wouldn’t be back. So for them to have it ready for April,
they have to get going on the resurfacing in the not too distant future I
would think. Fingers crossed. Gregg

Mario,
My son and I took the 888, 1098S & 900SSCR to COTA in June.
First time there and had a blast!
We'll be doing it again next year.
I'm 61 and rode like shit but had fun!!
My son is 27 and had only been on a track about 5 times and was dragging
his knee on both the 1098S & 900SS.

I'm doing a track day at COTA in November.  All this talk about a bumpy,
dangerous track was scaring me until I realized I will be going about 1/3rd
of the Moto3 pace.  And that's me full blast! hahahaha... I think I'll be
ok.  I'm still a little nervous as I haven't been on a track since 2001 and
that was at Blackhawk Farms, not exactly a high speed circuit.

I'll report my impressions here after my track day.

BTW, I'll be doing it on my beloved 1996 900SS/CR.

Definitely some bumps, coming down the hill from turn 1 into 2 there were
several that went down after hitting that bump not sure about other
sections of the track.

There is another bump on the straight after turn 2 but it did not seem to
be a problem, but then I'm just some old dude that did track days, so on a
GP machine it also might be a problem. - Gene
