Psyche 634 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 An absolutely amazing sportsman, also he has a great sense of humour. In his post race interview he said now I can say that I finished my last race in the top 10 riders in the world! Valentino has been winning in MotoGP since I was a young guy – and that was a long time ago ha ha! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Pope 243 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 There is a Rossi in the moto3 field, one of his? or maybe a nephew? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Psyche 634 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Not sure, Rossi is a pretty popular surname in Italy They even make rossi engines Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twisty 176 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Nice ! I was always a fan of Troy Bayliss. Saw him racing at Monza years ago. It was really cool watching him at the press briefing. He did the obligatory English talk, and then jumped into fluent Italian. This was the weekend he finished 2nd in the first race and fell off in the second. He fell off reasonably early in the race. Most of the (Italian) crowd got up and left. Biaggi won, nobody seemed to care. On a side note, is that heated grips on your bike ? You can't really call that a touring bike !! Mine's out of action for a few days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Psyche 634 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Not mine unfortunately, a mate came to visit and it was such a stunning day I had to take some pics. Its says 1098 but R models are 1198 for the homologation rules. Very grunty and the last of the "quality" Dukes before the Pani's came out. At the time in 09 it was about 90k ish kiwi but its been blinged out even more since then and Bob does tour on it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twisty 176 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I'm planning on getting a V4S multi in a couple of years. Was talking to the mechanics on friday (Ramon). He was saying with the new frames on the pani's etc valve timing is now an engine out job. I suspect that's the main reason the multi went to valve springs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Psyche 634 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Basically you need to dismantle most of the bike to get access, not hard but time consuming. Ramon quoted me 1800 for the 25k desmo service which can literally be a valve check! Mines overdue but ill diy it when I get time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
