Ajay,

Do u know where the paddock stand can get it fabricated ???

I can get one fabricated if drawing or sample is available

First attempt with a GoPro. Hope you like it...

Ride to Horsley Hills - YouTube

Nice video for a start.
My personal suggestion is a little higher mounting point of the GoPro would give a better view of the road and scenery as well.

Thanks Haroon!

I realized immediately after seeing the clips that the mount should have been higher. That's the only drawback of a GoPro. One has to back home and check out the clips :-(

i have a complaint to register against all ducati 796 bangalore riders !! grr u guys dont call for meets no photo shoots done not even city meet toooooooooo much :P
Lets catch up jvh and other bangalore riders maybe just for coffee in the city itself ! Wat say ?

A question for you why would u put ambient/peaceful piano music when there is that monster roaring for attention would like to hear the sound of the monster

Sent you a note. Do join the group and we can ride and meet up. FYI, there are 2 FZ1s also

Quite a contrast, ain't it? But if you listen carefully, you will hear the drone of the L-twin in the background. And got your point, will take the feedback for the next video

Had a great weekend on the Kari track. 2 days absolutely well spent with the Monster. I could literally see it grin ear to ear and whisper - mate, this is where I belong, would like to come here more often...lol!

I say track days are an absolute must to sync up with your bike and to get to know it a whole lot better. You always end up a better rider lap after lap. Its amazing how a few fundamentals can help you in gaining the confidence and help conquer the unwanted fears one may have .

The Monster performed flawlessly on the track. It never hesitated on any corners, whatever mistakes it had to encounter were mine as in foot peg scraping, losing the entry and apexes and a whole lot of stuff. Huge takeaways for me from these 2 days and will be remembered for a long time. True justice though will only be done when I belt it again and again. Let the track days roll in

Big thanks to my friends Mahesh, Sukesh, Shoaib, Prashant for being with us whenever needed and helping with the logistics. Mahesh bro, your FZ was sorely missing on the tracks man....pack the horses and unleash the beast next time

Enjoy the pics. Will try to get more.

respect J..well written..this post deserves to be published in an auto magazine..

Congrats on the monster... have the right color too..... love the lower end grunt of the twin. It's very sad to hear the situation of Ducati, its a great brand and deserves better. I am sure the track day was a lot of fun and thats where the bike is a blast....whish I can do the same some day. Also you have invested in some great gear and hope as time passes you enjoy the bike more. Ride safe.

Nice piece of writing jvh, and quite clear. Reminds me why and what I am working for on an entire Sunday. BTW, nice suit.

Thanks Rahul! A wave for you from this side of the country

Thanks Sarge! Yes indeed, track days are a lot more fun on these machines. Have a few lined up in Jan. Should be fun.

Thanks! Oh it will be absolutely worth it, my friend. There is nothing like riding and owning these machines. Pure joy!

A small update -
Chain adjuster tool arrived last Saturday. Makes the job so much easier now instead of going to the service center or calling someone from there. Also arrived is the oil filter wrench. Ordered it in advance so that I can change the oil and oil filter myself around 6-7K mark. Don't want to wait till 12K for that.
