[@5up614]

Hey thank you absolutely you as well 😉

[@FernandoLopez-yo3uv]

😎 flying by guys in the corners 👍nice riding 5up !

[@vicati7536]

Awesome track day!

[@bigblocknitro]

Great video, I've been dying for sometime to get to Barber Motorsports Park. I have a new back tire but can't find anyone to mount and balance, not for less than 120$!!! Great video and killer riding, would love to ride with you once I get the tire on

[@5up614]

Hey thanks man !

[@MrAjsparks]

Great riding 5UP!! You took on the track like a pro Mann!! Ride safe always

[@5up614]

Hey thank you very much I appreciate that

[@djnickpeters]

Hey Steve you and ib should invest in some Gyro Cams, love the track vids, keep it up.

[@5up614]

Yes that would be very cool that was a last-minute thing mounting the camera to the triple clamp because of track regulations.

[@2m173]

I group shark!!!! Time for A; congrats. Nice jaws music.

[@5up614]

Hey thanks Mike I appreciate you viewing

[@unphoto]

Nice quality video! That engine sound though....COngratz with the bump up

[@5up614]

Hey thank you the Ducati has a hard time over a microphone sounding as impressive as it doesn't person

[@unphoto]

5UP I know what you mean, i have crossplane R1 with shortened Akra's and a open system. Doesn't sound nearly as deep and throaty as it does IRL. The 1299 Still sounds amazing over YT though ;)

[@MrAjsparks]

Love to see you guys on the track on your BMWs!! Your’s and IB’s HP4!!

[@5up614]

I can't say I've had my 2016 BMW on track but I did my first few track days on my 2014 BMW and I like my Ducati much more on track.

[@Baldwin9111]

5up you killing out there my dude

[@5up614]

There were a couple of guys that were advanced level Riders that went flying around me LOL always somebody faster.

[@pinkpuffin187]

off topic, but I love your dragstrip vids.

[@5up614]

Lol. I have more coming out soon

[@muscleandimports]

Congratulations!

[@5up614]

Hey thank you!!

[@Primal922]

Awesome video 5up! I'm a fellow southern Michigander as well. Question, I've never been to the track and want your opinion on which of the 2 local tracks is best for beginner track ride like my self?

[@5up614]

Depends on how far south you are Mid-Ohio might be close to you that's not a bad track but my first track was ginger men and it's wide new track surface and lots of runoff so I would say personally locally that's probably one of the best tracks to go to

[@davidambra1573]

Congrats 5up nice laps brother. Definitely pushing me closer to a track day. ?whats the whole point of tapping off the headlights? Is true they also make you unplug all your lights as well?

[@5up614]

Hey thank you any plastic has to be covered up or glass just in case you have an accident it keeps it all contained and the lighting is the keep from spooking other Riders behind you

[@davidambra1573]

5UP thanks for the info. Also I thought your lean angle was your bikes lean reading from the air to fuel ratio lol until you said something

[@thereal_FASTA]

1299 has a lot of grunt on the top end.#greatride

[@5up614]

Yes it does and the rest of the time it's fighting traction control hopefully slicks make a difference next time 😉

[@thereal_FASTA]

5UP stock gearing too?

[@5up614]

Yes

[@bostontricolore6958]

Yooo Steve did you get your knew mistress yet. i just watched a video and dude was at Ducati Detroit.. the Speciale was looking mean and fast. .

[@5up614]

Boston Tricolore69 yes my bike is there right now waiting to take delivery hopefully soon

[@bostontricolore6958]

5UP lol i had a feeling that was yours. Nice congratulations. Man that blows the S model away in looks alone... never mind the extras which are insane

[@UssKNF]

Good ride!

[@joyfulpyro2589]

Nice riding sir you passed me like 3 times lol. It was great hanging out with you guys looking forward to meeting up again. U know we have nothing for that V4 you will get lol but we will share the road with you and IB and let you guys battle it out.

[@5up614]

Hey thank you very much I appreciate that we plan on coming back for sure you guys are always more than welcome to come up here to Detroit

[@joyfulpyro2589]

5UP you know I may need to do that I have been their before it was like 20 years ago though lol

[@5up614]

Always welcome we have some decent roads out here too really good for smackdown's not a lot of nice curvy roads though 🙄

[@joyfulpyro2589]

5UP hey if you come back bring that V4 we have some curvy roads you will love to try it out on and review.

[@5up614]

Ha. Wish I could do curvy roads fast 🙄 bad eye sight sucks!! Until I know the road and memorize like a track.

[@BOOSTEDH2]

Fucking awesome job man!!!

[@5up614]

Hey thank you man!

[@MrRob913]

In the heat of moaning & groaning & not even having sex. But reach another leave of happiness. Is something we cannot explain. Only riders can understand. I love my bike. 👍

[@SteezeN]

Hey Steve what do you recommend someone that likes doing track days but also straight line races? On the same bike. How to keep the bike handling good but also not wheeling from hardlaunches

[@5up614]

Good question my 1299 I have a front strap kit that I install and remove depending on what I am doing with the bike but now it is getting to the point where I need to upgrade the suspension some then set up better for track if I want it to be more track oriented bike

[@SteezeN]

5UP as a beginner I won’t have to worry too much about upgrading my suspension since I won’t get the most out of it. As for the strap will it still be effective even if my rear is not lowered?

[@5up614]

Yes absolutely and I only pull the strap down when I'm doing hard 2nd gear rolling launches or first gear rolling launches or drag strip and make sure the strap goes around the top of the triple clamp so it does not interfere and bind steering. It doesn't even have to be pulled down that tight it just keeps the suspension in the front from unloading and springs under acceleration trying to push the weight of the bike up to push it into a wheelie when it is fully Tapped Out it cannot help push it into a wheelie as easily

[@henrybui6353]

What levers do you have on the Panigale?

[@5up614]

Gilles

[@jessemartinez4601]

Your a natural bro all you need is a straight race bike or race fairings tell us your plans

[@5up614]

Yeah I'm still mixed up about that not sure what I'm going to do

[@stlchevy95]

5UP preserve the ducati, find a beater track bike that you can push the envelope on and not be upset that you crashed. like a 1198 or something

[@jessemartinez4601]

stlchevy95 or a used 1299

[@5up614]

Yeah that's what I bought my Daytona for but the power of the 1299 and some toxicating

[@Joeys990]

Nice riding steve!

[@5up614]

Hey thank you very much

[@Joeys990]

This is Defer btw 👍

[@5up614]

Hey Joe!!

[@Joeys990]

Hey buddy! You’re putting some great videos out. I really enjoy them. Makes me want to get back into bikes!

[@vpweber]

Awesome 😎

[@bostontricolore6958]

Yoooo 5up no moto gp trip whats up with that? Its almost speciale delivery time...

[@stunner216badboy]

great riding bro

[@5up614]

Hey thanks!!

[@kbell7834]

Stunner way can't wait to see y'all two duel it out at mid ohio the summer

[@5up614]

He's got me covered especially on that new BMW 😉

[@stefanjagger]

That left resorvoir looks a bit shaky?

[@5up614]

Yes because it's heavier than the composite one a new Mount is being made for that

[@stefanjagger]

Nice. Looks a bit like the 1299 view I see.

[@5up614]

Yes sir it is

[@stefanjagger]

Realised at around 9 minutes after listenings further. Great content man. I'm subscribed. Loved the wobble at 13:35 :)

[@5up614]

Hey thank you very much I appreciate that

[@R6_Nitty]

Do a helmet setup with camera and mic 😁

[@cameron5543]

Dude where the h2?

[@5up614]

I'm actually going to start doing some videos on it with a transformation it is on my motorcycle voice getting ready for upgrades 😉

[@kyleshady21]

What were the lap times?

[@5up614]

1.41 was the best I recorded on my GoPro. And this was not a clean lap either as you can see I continuously ran into traffic.

[@kyleshady21]

That's really good even without the traffic!

[@5up614]

On a quest for tire warmers slicks and better suspension setup I think I can be hi to Mid 1.30 s

[@kyleshady21]

Oh for sure! I think if you stiffen that rear shock up you could improve corner exit head shake.

[@5up614]

Yeah I've been advised to change ride height I was bottoming out the front suspension coming into Museum not sure whether it was going over the curbing or at the bottom that turn you put a lot of preload on the front suspension coming out of that corkscrew but the panigale typically has a very stiff rear spring and a very light front Springs

[@sunilkumarmallik4857]
