trident_special Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Mate of mine was at Mugello on Monday. If you're familiar with Mugello you'll know that it has a fuck-off long straight and lots of sodding fast corners. The natural stomping ground for litre bikes and people with very large balls. My mate Jacopo doesn't have the former, he is however blessed with a surplus of the latter. Some Italian trackdays end up with short races. Four separate events for each category (Novice, Intermediate, Expert, Needs a bin bag to carry his massive nuts). Here is Jacopo's video of his race, on a naked Street Triple (the only unfaired bike on the grid), amongst litre bikes and supersport kit. The speed differential at the end of the straight was up to 60km/h... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jollygiant Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Like the way somebody goes straight on at the 1st corner on the 1st lap!! Top skills to him, reminds me of one of my tack days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMSMJ1 Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 That is great. I bet he had much more fun than the 190mph crew who could not get around as fast. Mondo braking balls.. Deserves an ice cream after that effort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rureadyboots Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Your friend is an Italin national hero. I only think its fair that you let him know that his bike does have brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanWinkle Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I thought he was gonna run off the track(bend at the bottom of the hill)on the 1st lap...cracking stuff and worth another watch before i go to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdunc Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Awesome, I your mate can just get his braking sorted he'll do alright. Seriously though, some of his lines are dreadfull, which makes his pace even more impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatfuk Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 I acutaly found myself cheering when he mugged that stormtrooper at 4.29 Top riding skills there indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaycee Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Awesome, I your mate can just get his braking sorted he'll do alright. Seriously though, some of his lines are dreadful, which makes his pace even more impressive. I thought that too at first, then thought perhaps he was just determined to get past the other guy and deal with the corner when he gets there. Whatever his reason, titanium cojones in abundance.

Ducsenna Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Me on the 620Ducati race bike, Silverstone international circuit a few years back, same sort of joy, playing about in Inters group.
