[@stevefranklin8452]

good to see someone riding within their limits and progressing slowly and surely.

[@staceonwheels]

Ta... I'm also trying to protect my beautiful Ducati!!!! 😂

[@rogerfantin3513]

Gotta Love the sound of the Duke , there's nothing that compares but i'm biased . Good to see you enjoying the 848

[@staceonwheels]

It does sound awesome! Loving it.

[@gb2470]

Just stumbled on your channel tonight and I really enjoyed your video. Congratulations on your success and I hope you continue to enjoy your future progression!

[@staceonwheels]

Such kind words, thank you!

[@ricardoleite6351]

Good job 👍 slowly but surely you will get there no one runs before they can walk. Love ❤️ the Ducati is the best I’m a Ducatisti all the way

[@staceonwheels]

Which Ducati(s) do you have?

[@davidcmcchesney]

Hi from a 62YOSWM in U.S.A. Near D.C. I really enjoy your Vids. My Dad that was my Best Friend used to tell me when I raced “On the Gas, or On the Brakes” anything else & your just coasting. & no one wins a race by just “Coasting” but stay safe. Wide open on the Gas & Braking fast can be dangerous

[@staceonwheels]

Thanks... love hearing your dad was your best friend. Fast and safe is the goal!

[@kimferguson9110]

Stace, I haven’t seen your thoughts on how the bike fits you. Is it tall for you? How’s the reach? Does she run hot? Awesome footage. I’ve enjoyed watching the track content.

[@staceonwheels]

Thanks Kim! She is tall... I can only reach two tippie toes, or if I slide off a bit, I can get a foot down. Climbing on without the side stand down is very awkward! But it doesn't worry me much. She doesn't run hot at all... I've only seen about 70 C (maybe the sensor is dodgy?), but my SuperSport hit 115C once on the same track!

[@MrMotogarage]

Hahahahhah love it. Your mechanic must be so handsome.

[@staceonwheels]

Haha... he's more coordinated with tools than with dance moves, thankfully!

[@47bikeshed]

Got to say Stace, your lines round there were great! I love Lakeside, but it can be an unforgiving place.. plus some of the unusual lines that other riders were taking in that video can be very off putting!

[@staceonwheels]

Thanks... I can't take credit for my lines, as I was just doing what the track guardians had shown us. But yeah, the variation among riders is interesting. I love how many layers of learning are possible in this sport, just going around the same track!

[@47bikeshed]

@@staceonwheels too right! There’s a couple of laps around there on my channel on a classic RS125 if you’re interested.. although I did nearly overcook the exit of the bus stop when I dropped a gear too early 🙄

[@staceonwheels]

@47bikeshed I am keen to check it out, thanks!

[@staceonwheels]

@47bikeshed which video on your channel?

[@Drjfever]

How often do they do track days? I’m wanting to take my V4 streetfighter for a spin. How do you find the other riders at the track days - supportive or too competitive? Thanks

[@staceonwheels]

They run 1 or 2 recreational ride days a month. The attitude is overwhelming positive and supportive. I'm sure there is friendly competition but prob only in the fast groups. I you haven't been there you may have to do the induction group first time. Try it... your SF will love it.

[@Drjfever]

@@staceonwheels Many thanks

[@99gpandy28]

👍💯

[@R1Brooklyn]

Cool

[@davidcmcchesney]

Your cornering is good, but don’t watch the bikes in front of you too much look down the track at your lines & openings where you might be able to pass them. Act like you are the only one on the track & everyone else must speed up or get out of your was. I liked the pass you did

[@staceonwheels]

Great stuff, thank you! Passing on corners is a future focus... I think I need more confidence with different lines, as we can only pass on the outside in blue group. But I can certainly do what you say and worry less about other riders 👍
