So I had my first real track day on Friday. It was an absolutely amazing day and I loved every single moment of it. If you own a bike, you HAVE to get on track at least once. Thanks @Wacko_ZA for all the inputs and advice, and for making everyone else look really slow.

My goals for the day was to get my knee down (bucket list), and to not die. I am happy to be alive and letting you all know I dragged knee! :D

Still no evidence of a dragged knee.

Nice!

This. Even if you have a dual sport bike it's worth doing. I spent a day at Red Star on my 60hp Transalp with square-block knobblies and I was dragging footpegs in no time. I'm sure my lap times were glacial but it doesn't matter, it was SUCH fun.
Have yet to take my 990 though...
 
Looks awesome! i really need some track time :confused: iv'e officially got to close to the limit of my tires on the street (not around any cars). when you see light on the dash flashing and the tail just twitching between grip and no grip its time to visit a track to get that nonsense out lol

Oh.... I was under the impression that's just how bikes work. Is it not supposed to do that? :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Jokes aside, for sure dude. You will rediscover your motorcycle. Many people have the idea that track = racing. But it's really just having a safe environment to explore and do what you want to do. Push the limits a bit, try dumb shit. Learn from the bike. Absolute ideal place to do it.

The A, B, C classes also gives everyone an opportunity to do their thing at their own pace.

Haha they are supposed to do that just not on a road... Too much crap on the tar and the obvious dangers.

Il make a plan to hit Redstar on their next track day. I was supposed to be there this last week... Work and time got the better of me.

I want to go again next month . I will open the invitation here when the time comes.

I first need to get that carby group ride organised. :D

Slowly getting used to the power wheelies on the thing! must say, every minute riding this thing is a minute I love it more. its so....rude hahah!

I spy with my little eye a little ER6N
EDIT: Or I think they call it the Z650 now don't they? same engine though.
 
yea its my mrs on her Z650 yea, ideal second bike for a vertically challenged person @D3TTOL . Lovely little bike, she even took it down to Ballito from PTA and back when we did the F900XR and S1000XR tests for my bud's mag.
 
This is mine, bought it back from my grandfather's brother. My grandfather sold it to him after an accident put an end to bike riding for him. Same bike I used to get lifts home from school on in Sub A. 😁

 
Its got 10k km on it. Thinking of trading my S1000R on it but I want to see it in person. If not this Panigale then another one will pop up.
@D3TTOL yea there are a few coming on on the market now, the good ones go really quick. they are amazing machines honestly. 1199/1299/V4, the entire panigale family.
The one I sent you earlier, is For 190k, but negotiable. The guy owns a Ducati workshop, and the bike is mint. 8961km on.
 
I swear I saw some of you guys at Breedeskraal station for lunch. I saw a while whack of Ducs there. I was with a big group doing adv stuff. Sunrise scramble with Joe and the lads.
 
Well I saw a lot of Ducs and Duc riders. If it was you then I saw your ugly mugs there haha
