| Well up for this now .... Got my first taste of what my bike can do on Tuesday at the Bike Magazine day at Cadwell. Torrential rain (and some work to do in the morning) meant I got there just in time for last session before lunch. Damp. I'll admit to being v nervous. Bike was of course filthy due to ride there.....no van or trailer for me. Sun came out and all activity stopped for lunch  Managed three sessions in the afternoon, on a dry track except for the back around hairpin. Only the last session had a few spots of rain. Ducati turn out included Mike Armitage (Bike journo') on the Panigale, an 1198 Corse and a classic sport. I have witnesses that he said he'd rather have mine over the Panigale  More low down drive. There then ensued the whole discussion around electronic rider aids, mere mortals, real world riding etc etc. Having said that he looked incredibly smooth out lapping in the intermediate group.I now love my bike even more....handling is something sublime. Only issue I've got to learn is the downshifting revs whilst scrubbing off speed - the engine over run puts a lot of hove back through the clutch. I'll download a couple of pics off the phone of the Panigale when I get a moment.... |
