First Track Day Photos on my 1199 s

Trevor LD · August 25th, 2012, 04:20 PM

My first track day on my 1199s, and it a blast. The quick shift, slipper clutch, DTC, EBC, Ohlins suspension, all made the thing handle wickedly. The event was held by RideSmart at Cresson Motorsports Ranch. Photos are taken by Hart Photography. I have some video that im editing and will post it when done. I also went one session with the traction control on level 8 just to see how much it would intervene so i will post that as well.

Where did you get the vinyl for your headlights and tail lights?

Thanks

zvez · August 26th, 2012, 08:54 AM

pretty sure that's not vinyl it's blue painters tape, like masking tape but comes off very easily without leaving residue lots of people use on track day bikes.

just blue painters tape, the track marshall makes you tape up all lights and glass.

So how was the heat out there. I really want to hit up a track day but I've been waiting for it to cool off a bit. Probably next month.

What part of DFW are you located?

zvez · August 26th, 2012, 10:06 AM

Yeah I did a track day at barber earlier this summer, ambient temp 106 and track temp 140+ did it in a non vented two piece suit, next track day I had the white suit, what a huge difference!

it only got up to 96. no one really showed up because of the rain chance but the cloud cover kept it very nice! i hope it is that way on labor day at TWS.

FYI - Ducati recommends NOT using tie-downs to the throttle, since it can damage the ride-by-wire sensors. I use black straps around the fork tubes on the inside of the fairing to which the tie-down straps are attached.
