Mugello on an ST4S

Have just returned home this morning from the MotoGP in Mugello. 7 day trip and the ST4S has not missed a beat. All the prep work put in on the bike has paid off. Starter motor rewire, side stand gizmo, Scotoiler and open clutch cover.

Cruised at 90 - 100 mph there and back. Got 208 miles out of a tank before the fuel light came on (That's with Ducati Performance pipes, airbox and filter). Ran it on Super Unleaded. Zero oil use. The Avon Azaro ST's are shot (done 5000 miles though).

Best part of the trip was doing 90mph along the St Gothard pass in Switzerland with 10 foot high snow walls either side of the road. It just defied logic. Freezing temps and no ice on the road.

Met Steve Parrish and Charlie Cox at the Hotel we were staying in just outside Florence. Parrish got himself fined by the Italian Police for doing 87kmph in a 50 kmph limit. Cost him 130 euros (He can afford it!).

Great trip but am knackered.
