Scott came by after dinner with his new Ducati Monster S4. We went out and tore up Cecil Field, a closed military base. This is the first time I've been able to ride Scott�s bike and get it out of first gear, and I must say it was awesome. Although the numbers are similar to my bike, you can tell that this bike was made for one thing and one thing only: racing.

While the Ducati was really fun to ride, I was glad to ride my 919 again. It�s easier for me to ride, and is very smooth at low RPMS.

On the Ducati, I was constantly shifting to keep the bike at its sweet spot: about 3k RPMs. Scott�s bike really wore me out. That�s the only disadvantage to all that power and tight transmission.

It was great to take the bikes out to Cecil Field, around all the abandoned military buildings and open roads. I�m hoping to take the bikes out to the beach this weekend.

This is an old supply building. I caught air going up this ramp.
