Great memories. ...I shouldn't admit this but some years back I was working on a project for the Festival of Speed. Living nearby I went for final Thursday evening check on my front of house creation on my Huskavarna 610 Supermoto. As I went to leave by the South lodge I realised it was pretty quiet. ..most people were getting a bite to eat and having a break. It had to be done....I blasted the Husky up the hill and it was fabulous! I was stopped by a couple of guys placing straw bales who strongly advised me to go!, they did say that the bike sounded brilliant in the quiet of the evening! . ...another great personal Goodwood moment!

So glad the Duke is a bike man. It's been amazing to see some of the bikes that come to or near Goodwood. Now I just want to see him turn a wheel in something a bit closer to anger at the Festival.

I too owned a Ducati 888 here in California.

Scary thing is, those are also the same tires from 25 years ago! Yikes!! Brave man for riding up the hill on those tires , even at his modest pace

Great bike

[@jameswarner8038]

do bikes go up the hill? do they time them?

[@StarkRaven59]

They do a few exhibitions, but I don't think they're timed. Distinct lack of runoff on the driveway.

[@GoodwoodRR]

They do go up the hill, they are not timed for safety reasons.

[@driffbro3380]

It's SP4 not SB4

[@XaviSpit]

Exactly friend; the SB4 it's a Bimota bike.

[@arnaldojatoba6704]

And it says SP4 on the handle. At 1:14

[@1970savage]

Luvin those chicken strips ;-)

[@brabham74]

Respectfully, chicken strips are only as factual as the most recent, brisk ride. A week earlier, the "strips" could have been at the edge of the tire. Just saying. They are the most recent history, not the most epic history.

[@ducsauce]

Those are original Michelin Hi-Sports from the late 80s, early 90s as well!! and he is not mucking about, respect!
