To put it bluntly, these are two facilities moving in opposite directions. PIRC has been on a consistent path of improvement, and has engaged their clients and customers as they have gone alone. Mid Ohio (or the new Nelson Ledges, as one friend labeled it) continues to slowly deteriorate with no inclination to improve. I think we're more apt to see further changes to PIRC (the aforementioned gravel traps and additional airfence a must have for the next major racing event) than we are to MidOH. Heartbreaking as it may be for us Buckeyes that have long standing fond memories of the place in its heyday.
Infrequently used, never abused 2012 Ducati 848 EVO. 2,772 original miles. Aside from a set of CRG shorty levers and an A&R race baffle kit she is all stock. Original levers, passenger seat & footpegs are included, as well as the Pit Bull rear stand seen here and Pit Bull fork stand pin. I am the second owner. Purchased from the original owner in May of 2015, and it had 1100 miles on it at that time. Title held by my credit union. $8700* PM me for details if interested.
I am proud to have ridden with these guys, and fortunate for the opportunity to have done something in Ryan's memory. Craig and Ron did a great job getting the bike to where it was Saturday morning, and Ryan helped Craig see it through to the end. Thanks to everyone that came out and supported us, and to the quick fellas in the pit ahead of us It was truly the best thing I have ever done on a motorcycle.
Getting ready for the season. Sent the suspension off for a refresh, new fluids, general once over. Will tinker with her each day until the suspension is back just to show some love.
This is crushing. Our track family has become part of my extended family. Shannon and the kids love each of those that we have adopted through the course of racing, and Ryan was one of the first ones in. He was the genuine article, and is supremely missed.
Thanks man. I think I have the bike logistics worked out, but will call you if otherwise. Yeah, the plan is to have the bike and my track gear transported via the buddy system, and for me to fly in Friday, do the TD Saturday, and jet out Sunday to Vegas. Depending on the range of flights to Vegas and the timing, I might do half of Sunday. I'll know more as it gets closer.
I might be in for this. Hammering out logistics since I am due to travel to Vegas for work that Sunday. May just have to leave a couple days early and re-route through Alabama.
