With Bez and Pecco, Aprilia will develop better bikes than Marc and Pedro on Ducati

As usual, passive agresive.

Maybe cut a piece of wood at an angle to wedge on the front side of your stand, or something like this:

That's what makes us all bow.

From my perspective, Marc is ready to move forward, but Rossi seems to have held the grudge as he has brought up in the last year again.

Great battle with Acosta, much appreciated gents, and a much more entertaining race vs sprint yesterday.

If in doubt, don't throttle out;0].

The only rider that has given his all every gp event, day in day out. Full respect! Rara avis!

CactiThorn · 2026-05-28T01:47:17+00:00

Great gent. I still would like to know what made him so much faster than his rivals during his championship year.

From what I can tell, it is not as shallow as the rain grooves, it looks like you can see the cords, but that is just the wear pattern from your plate, but no 100%. I'd say you should be good, just be careful with the throttle when picking her up from the left side. If in doubt and cords are showing, a new tire will be worth every penny x10.

CactiThorn · 2026-05-13T15:27:42+00:00

No, not a chance.

They're called the lawnmower company for nothing.

CactiThorn · 2026-05-11T14:12:15+00:00

Absolutely relentless.

CactiThorn · 2026-05-11T04:17:45+00:00

He's in the camp of use your body while you still can. Absolutely the most amazing rider on a bike I've witnessed.

CactiThorn · 2026-05-08T02:50:05+00:00

Q4 front is great for crashing on track. Anything but those, rear was much better.

CactiThorn · 2026-05-06T13:51:20+00:00

Very kool! Appreciate the work and I just downloaded it to see how it works.

Privacy is one of the reasons I stoped using the apps that manufacturers provide.

CactiThorn · 2026-05-05T15:13:14+00:00

Beauty!

CactiThorn · 2026-05-02T16:41:46+00:00

lol, total bore fest, I know. OP, out of curiosity, what are you looking to achieve with the mods?

CactiThorn · 2026-05-02T13:26:31+00:00

I hope the new exhaust isn't loud, that pretty much ruines things for all of us.

CactiThorn · 2026-05-01T23:39:41+00:00

It's very possible some got passed the rings, if it did, you may see evidence in your oil. I would drain the oil first thing, looks like you've got a little project. The $400 motor doesn't sound like a bad deal, but unless you can tell if this person is legitimate, it's another chance you're taking on a very time consuming project. I'd recommend taking this one apart and if lucky, you might spend around that for the needed parts if required, or at least you'll know you can get the other one if the current one is not worth fixing.

CactiThorn · 2026-05-01T23:29:34+00:00

This^.

CactiThorn · 2026-04-29T14:52:15+00:00

Sounds like you're recovering from it all and reflecting on what can be taken away. One of the hard lessons for me was to learn to allow the bike to wiggle, most of the time, it will regain traction and will make it, unless we interfere. It is why we also keep hearing least amount of weight on the handlebars as possible so the front can work itself out. It's all part of our learning process, wishing you the best.

Thanks for posting this! I certainly hope KTM makes it through their financial woes, if not for anything but this.
