Nice finish eh?

MM is SOOOOOOO clever. He played with Ducati and removed competition for 2025 at the same time. Masterful on and off the track. His comment that he wont move to Pramac resulted in. 1) Scored the factory Lenovo bike 2) Jorge cracked the shits and took the first offer that wasnt Ducati, so that left Pramac without a top rider and Ducati lost his skills 3) Pissed off Enea and so he jumped the Ducati ship too in protest. He could have gone to PRAMAC but as a protest left Ducati. 4) Removed PRAMAC so less top riders on the top bike. PRAMAC jumped the Ducati ship in protest and because Yamaha offered a golden deal, whereas Ducati would have still been screwing PRAMAC for $$ and conditions. 5) MM now only has Pecco to compete with in 2025, on the same bike because everyone else is on a 'new to them' and inferior bike. 6) Pecco has foolishly declared that he 'needs' the garage harmonious in 2025, like it is now. MM now knows how to undo Pecco even before they get on the track. If MM is not 2025 World Champ then I dont know what.

I must say the retro SILVER on the fairing works well. Blacked belly pan also. The 999/749 styling is a bit slab sided, so this is a good slab breakup. Ties the frame in too. My 749 is the 2005 model in red frame/black wheels so I'm happier with the colours. Interestingly I have just acquired a 2010 Monster 1100S, so my garage looks very similar to yours.

Turn 3/4 at barber is a blast. It’s my favorite spot it’s hard to explain that feeling you get in your body when you hit it at 90-100

Solid review, was a great time hanging out at B-Dubs 🤙

Gotta love this video because you have a 999 in it. CHOICE!!!!! Do you have a link/guide to 999/749 suspension setup? Ive re-set mine to standard and it now steers like a bus. Im 175cm tall and 70kg. Wont turn in. Have 5 rings showing on the forks. cheers

I’d love to try out a KTM, the Rc8 is one of my dream bikes. Great vid!

A few pro tips. a) I find it tends to be easier to load the bike when walking it up as long as you have the room to walk beside it. By not having weight on the seat, you'll scrape fewer parts. b) Didnt PitBull supply a bungee cord to hold the stand up? Dragging that TRS up over the metal where it is catching will get old very quickly c) Most importantly (and this may require a friend) - instead of backing up and trying to align the TRS pins, set the front and then use the TRS bar to lift the back up and adjust the position.

baxley sport chock best transportation/storage investment you could make for a bike imo. its about 200 with coupon code RRW but its worth every penny and then some

I'm sure I'm stating the obvious but in the future a little bigger trailer would be helpful. Id never trust my bikes with a single axel trailer.

Absolute yes for earplugs. Get the max db rating ones that are either 29 or 32 db. I do know people who ride with music, but that's not my jam. Still have the OEM master cylinder. Only get brake fade if I'm doing consecutive hard sessions - like >30 minutes of pushing and hard braking within an hour.

Earplugs yes. Send it! No wonder Mike couldn't hear me revving at him for some follow/film laps.

Keep your ac intake inside and exhaust outside

Super helpful man✊🏿🙏🏿…getting some coaching at Roebling in a few weeks trying to learn not to suck 😂

Where did you get that sheet for suspension setup? Do you have a link to a PDF?

Awesome video man! Really surprised you don't have way more subscribers. Could you do a video explaining how to get started with suspension setup? I really enjoy the way you are explaining things!

I felt that! I’ve only tailed someone once but I quickly got over the fear of leaning the bike, and once the confidence was there, I was able to past him for the first time (he introduced me to track riding).

Man... just got off the phone with my coach who, in more complicated terms, explained exactly what you addressed in this video. Very much looking forward to returning to the track in a few weeks for what seems to be the last one of the season. Thanks for putting out phenomenal content.

That's great. Really useful information. 'No one cares how fast you are and no one cares how fast you are not.' Practice is super important. What did I hear the other day - something like it takes 4x as long to correct an incorrect habit as opposed to doing it correctly and slowly the first time around.

0:10 A child…a child!!🎉🎉

Sweet as.

that hat is FIRE

Great job on the video! Had a great time yesterday as well. Those parts look amazing on the Monster. Had me literally LOL at the part “two grown men in a booth giggling”. 😂

Keep rolling with the upgrades. I gave you a shout out on Ducati MS. Hopefully inspire some people to finish up their rides and get out on the track.

Very interested in the track prep on the 749. Please give some more details on the aftermarket parts you’re installing. I’ve seen those chain adjusters before on eBay and they disappeared in the last year. Took me a ton of digging but finally found them on Iconic Parts website in the Uk. Are those the same ones?

What is a decent time for a literbike with electronic aids these days? Im getting back into it after a 15 yeat absence. Best i could do was 38s with dot race tires and mostly ran low 140s in traffic on a MV f4 1000. And yes STT was great back theb too!

Nitron shock, so puuurrttty 🤤

For 1 day! I don’t have the option of signing up for just one.

I love the idea!

Ducati Revs at Daytona, 1 day $700.

How did you measure your shelving up front before you cut the plywood? Did you make a template or something? Looks like they came out perfect! Not a wood guy myself.

Thank you for the shout out, brother! Great video!

Appreciate the positive comments. I was the Lead Intermediate both days. It was definitely a full house (more than 40). We do our best to try and keep the peace and make sure EVERYBODY has a great time and goes home safe. Saturday started out a little rough with red flags, but it cleaned up nicely by lunch and we didn't have any the rest of the day....and Sunday was clean too (which is a testament to the riders being smart and acting like adults). Barber is a great track...you would be amazed if you ever got to see it on a track walk. Hope you come back soon!

Mike, solid point about passing vs. getting passed. Completely agree.

What about the decibel limits?

I understand about that fl heat I’m here in north west Florida in the panhandle I’m looking to doing track days so this would be a great setup

Glad everyone had a good time. We're blessed to be so close to the place. I think you're spot on when you say that it's a lot for a first time Novice. I'm not going to preach to anyone how to spend their money, but getting a few days at a less expensive and smaller track will make someone really appreciate and get the most out of a day at Barber. Also speaking of how nice the facilities and grounds are - Mr Barber takes so much pride in keeping the place immaculate. For the past few years they've had a mini-moto event on the proving grounds with Groms, etc, including a few endurance races. All went great until this last year when a few degenerates decided to wreck havoc on the place. They were tearing up the grass intentionally, riding like idiots with one moron doing a burnout on the bathroom floor. Needless to say, there will never be an event like that again at Barber. Lifetime ban all because 1% of the customers decided to tear up this beautiful facility.

I had no idea anybody did trackdays without tech inspections 🤯 STT does a great job with novice group, you get actual instruction and active coaching. They also offer a race school for advance group. Great org. Barber was my first track (granted that was around 2005) and I can say the biggest problem with starting there is going to a Jennings or Tally AFTER. The track and the facilities spoil you bad.

Stealing the bed idea, I go on track days and long trips for motorcycle trips. And I hateeeee sleeping in my truck, the e-track idea is perfect for me so I can keep the functionality of my trailer for bikes, and break it down when not needing to sleep, or when towing my snowmobiles in it

Good ideas thank you

Making us look bad running red flags

My beautiful boiz out there shreddin

No helmet mounted cameras…

Freaking ripping!! 🎉🎉. Had no idea your great taste in tunes…

That looks fun 😎

The time is drawing near 🏍️ 💨

Great talk. One of the most dramatic seasons for sure. And still 10 more race weekends to go!

to remove the tank from this bike is literally the easiest thing to do. not trying to put you down just saying you should give it a shot. I had spark plug go out on my vertical cyclinder at the track once so in-between sessions I replaced it. my day would have been done for something so simple.
