    Rosenau gives you a Ducati 848... and you ride it through a ghetto shopping mall?


    Would they not let you ride it on the street?

    @Roadster_Guy: TTM Ducati gave us the bike - Rosenau helped out with other things. We rode the bike streetwise plenty: Keep an eye on HellForLeatherMagazine.com for the full review this week.

    These bikes use a wet clutch, right?


    I bet you were thankful for that.


    Is it true that Joe Rocket Helmets are actually HJC? That's a scary thought.

    @FstrPssycw: In a drag race, yes. In the corners, not a chance. I tried it once on a GSXR-750. I could catch up on the straights and under breaking only to watch it walk away in the corners.

    @BЯдΖǐL-ЯЄРΘЯΤЄЯ: I replace my knee pucks once a month, whether they need it or not.:p


    If I had been out front, I would likely have stayed there. I was losing too much corner entry speed trying not to run into the Vettes rear bumper.

    With a good rider and driver I still think it would be tough for the bike.

    @joneez wants a sunroof on his Jeep: It's really a question of balls. In a car, I can feel the edge of the envelope of grip much more easily than on a bike; at 9/10's, a bike can be every bit as agile as a supercar, but it requires both a very exceptional rider and perfect road. At full lean, a bike's grip can be measure in two sections about the size of the side of your hand. Don't hit a bump...
