| I\'m in love - again!
Well what can I say.
Today was the first time I've ridden my 996 since October last year. It's just had it's two year/12000 mile service with Nelly and I took the opportunity to change the gearing again, from 14/36 to 14/39.
I only rode it around 5 miles, to work and back. Had to take it easy because I had brand new Diablo Corsa's on.
But dear me that bike is quick. I know that a lot of you have bikes packing a lot more horsepower (After Neil Spalding finished with mine it's got around 120rwbhp, plus the shortened gearing and lightened flywheel ...) but I'm really impressed by how this thing moves along. I opened her up coming onto a service road onto the M3 and a nice 2nd gear wheelie steadily coming up on the throttle. Sheesh!
If all of you with big bikes want to appreciate what animals you own just do a few trackdays on a bike with only 60rwbhp and it will certainly sharpen your focus!
I am one very happy bunny and Ducati ownership can't conceivably be any better than it is today for TP.
You should see the grin I'm wearing typing this!
And Chelsea just scored! What a day!  |
