I'm glad you posted this because your dad was the person I was most concerned about not appreciating my running to the front. He was leaving a big hole behind you so I kept using it on my way up front. I don't know if he was doing it on purpose to help me or if he wanted the room and I was upsetting him filling it in.

Thanks for the trailer help I would have done it if needed but you guys stepping up allowed me to head home for my 3-1/2 hour drive a lot soon I’m sure.

He was fine with it. When we ride he is always following, roads that he is not familiar with he tends to leave a decent gap.

I wouldn't second guess how you rode on Sunday, one bit. You were in total control and didn't do anything erratic that I saw (you looked like a control rider). I heard your sewing machine exhaust back there every once and awhile. You could have been on my hip and I wouldn't have cared.

Dan, The intersection is Roxanna New Burlington Rd and 380. We were on Roxanna New Burlington Rd.

hey guys...

first off, i would like to thank john & John Stafford (the ducati duo) and Gibby for taking care of me like family. The first time we ever met was on this ride, and i dont know how i can pay u guys back for all u did for me. if any of u guys ever need anything, ever, please let me know...

i only have one hand to type with so this may be short.

the results were a broken wrist and finger, but the real pain is coming from my pelvis, which they thought fractured, but just turns out to be some torn ligaments right above my... well u know. so thanks to the guys who literally carried me to Johns truck. walking became increasingly difficult. so besides some road rash and the stuff already mentioned, all thats left is a bruised ego. I have surgery on friday to throw some metal into my wrist and finger.

but i'd really like to apologize to everyone for putting ur lives in danger. i couldve killed one of u, and think about that everyday. im truely sorry. i think the combo of a late night and hot sun was getting the better of my reactions, and by the time i seen our buddy on the Daytona 675 throw up his hand... it was too late. i had no clue we were stopping, and merely started scrubbing speed.

never highsided before lol, but hell, the whole thing seemed like it took an hour from braking to flying to rolling. and again, im just glad no one else got hurt. the 1000rr is not too bad either. it starts up and sounds fine. hopefuylly the insurance Co doesnt needa police report. ill still keep everyone up to date.

again, thanks to everyone. from getting me water to supporting me thru ur kind thoughts and words, i owe all u guys a thanks...

Dan, you are more than welcome!!! I just wished we could have gotten to you with the trailer sooner and not had you bake in the sun. There is no need for payback, I hope someone would do the same for my father or myself. Hope those two cute nurses took care of you real well and you get feeling better soon!

Anyway, it was a good and we had fun.

Uncle Punk and Fusion, thanks for being the group nannies, you guys did an outstanding job!

My dad and I will be there.

Try and sell it on Craigslist or to someone you know, egay is a waste of time.

Most place's are buying for scrap value and not resale (raw metal cost, wholesale diamond prices). A ring purchased for $350.00 is not going to get you much back into your pocket selling it this way. Best bet is to find someone looking for a deal.

He has some good exhaust set ups for the RC's.

Well..With all that said.....I will say....

... I got air....and nearly poo'd my pants.

That was a nice little hill.

My dad and I had a good time riding and meeting all of you. I'll get some LED's in his brake lights ASAP, I had no idea they are so dim.

Those cyclists were a bunch of fucks, I can't believe some dick through a water bottle.

I grew up around those country roads. Those were my teenage stomping grounds. So many illegal activities were demostrated out there when in HS.

Mine too. Before they redid Waynesville Rd you used to be able to get all four wheels off the ground in a car, at about 75mph.

I know most of these roads well, it'll be a good time!!

My dad and I will be there.

Is the meeting spot at UDF next to tractor supply?

Interesting.

So Doug is in KY now?

No, he is traveling around doing training for DNA, from what I was told.

She's beautiful!! I love that swing arm.

Thank you! It's the Moto Corse one.

I thought that pre 2005 Ducati's hp numbers were at the wheel. That's why there was such an increase in Ducati's hp numbers.

If you look at the dyno I posted the 99hp is for the original 916 motor that was in the bike.

Nice looking Monster.

Does Doug have the bike now or what? Like to hear the rest of that story.

I was in touch with Bruce and Doug back in my Ducati Days, but I haven't played in that stuff for a few years now.

Basically, the high compression ate the starter sprag (the bike has around 7,000mi on it). Took it down to Commonwealth and they replaced it. While it was there Bruce (he was there for training) tried to adjust the Ultimap ecu for easier starting. Something happened with the ecu and lost the mapping. So, long story short it was just easier to have Doug remap it.

I should be picking up the bike from Commonwealth Fri/Sat, been waiting on a new front brake line. For a set of HP calipers and Moto Corse radial bottoms.

Nice.

Did Bruce build it for you? What exactly did you have done?

Yes, Bruce built the motor. I purchased the bike from a guy in up state NY, it only had 100mi after the build. The total mi on the bike was 1,000, it was too much for him.

Here are the motor specs:

BCM 1036 Big Bore Kit

V2 Stage II 748R Intake & Exhaust Cams

38mm Intake Valves

32mm Exhaust Valves

Machined & Balanced Crank & Flywheel

Pistal 13-4-1 Pistions

Carillo Rods

Complete Head porting w/ manifolds and throttle bodies

Complete blueprint of lower end and tranny

Large throttle bodies (I think 54mm)

This is what I can remember off the top of my head. The bike would probally be in the 150's with race gas and a aggressive tune.

I'll have an updated tune from Doug Lofgren soon I'll post (long story).

She has a few more goodies on her now but here is a pic:

Here is a dyno of my monster with a built 996 motor tuned for the street.
