Tracy has a great and laid-back attitude , it really-is ...only about the-fun . You can see that the big Duke fits-her-better , so-important in a bike . Ross , I'm a little-jealous , I always wanted an SF , I had a Mirage years-back (imported from Oz ) . It was a big, heavy-beast and great on the-open-road (scud-missile with 'Manners' ) but I like the idea of more-nimble bikes like the 750 , well-done mate ! Dave nz
Hey Dave, thanks for watching, I have seen you comment on a few videos now. Yeah, love my SF…except…holed the left side piston about 6 weeks ago, so it’s off for a rebuild in the new year. Tracey’s awesome, I only bet her and her husband Cliff through the channel, we now occasionally get to catch up for a ride which is awesome.
@@BikerTorque That was bad-luck Ross , a fine-looking example-though and you will know exactly what you have once it's all-sorted . I have come so-close to buying-one in the-past (twice ) , I would have to sell all my toys to do it now . I do keep having to remind-myself that my old XV (TR1) really-does satisfy my bike-needs (it's Very-sorted) but I still get-tempted . 70-100hp is probably the sweet-spot for the very-twisty-roads I ride and fast rocket-ships don't do -it for me anymore . It really-is all about the Fun-Factor ; it has to look-good , sound-good and have a personality . Dave
@@kdsowen2882 couldn’t agree more and to be honest my favourite never sell bike is my 1984 BMW R65, it’s only about 40 Ho but will happily sit on 110. I’ve owned it for 23 years and there is a bit of a family story behind it that I will tell one day on the channel.
Great stuff Tracey - Swapped a ride on my bevel 860 for a ride on a 1000 3C Laverda in the '70s Right hand gear shift and all. Still remember, beautiful bike.
Yeah the right side gear change takes a bit of getting used to, spent a good 30 secs at a set of lights with my foot under the brake trying in vain trying to put it in neutral. I love a 3C one day.
@@BikerTorque tell her.. it doesn't need to rattle & really, it shouldn't either.. the fix is quite easy to remove clutch basket backlash.. new sub.. let's see Trace on trace.. good head on that lass.. happy biking from NZ
Great to hear from the girls - and also glad I'm not the only one that leaves their blinkers on 👍🇦🇺
😂We seem to get a few people who leave their blinkers on when we film them. Thanks for watching
Love a Ducati Monster . Tracey was really interesting
Cheers Rob, she did have an interesting story, thanks for watching
That open clutch cover is the bomb! How cool.
👍
This is awesome Trace - Miss you!!!
Glad you enjoyed the video
she's livin the dream!
Absolutely
I can’t believe you got hold of the happy dance 🤣🥴🤣
Surprising what you can find online😂
Fair chance Cliff might be in trouble I’d think. 🤣
💗 Well done Trace! 👍
👍

@@kdsowen2882 I do love the Laverda also, when it’s running well it is an absolute joy, I will definitely be getting it sorted in the new year
Great interview. Definitely a motorcyclist proper!
Congrats to Nathan! And to you for the new Italian Classic.
Thanks, agree, Tracey really is a proper rider.
Love! Trace’s happy dance is all we ever needed
Agree
Excellent video.👍👍👍
👍
I own a s2r 800, and I love it. Every mile I feel I'm king of the road🎉
Nice one, they are awesome bikes. Thanks for watching.
Congratulations on the new bike.
Thanks Greg
Tracie sounds like an avid sport bike rider. I’m surprised she didn’t like the gixer better than the Ducati on the track.
Nice interview Ross!
Hey Greg, yep she rides better than most could ever hope to, certainly more accomplished than myself, but she’s right it’s all about having fun
Nice bike & Tracey is a cute lady
Yes and yes
Nice 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks
Congratulations Nathan 😎👍🏼

@@BikerTorque Exactly, going to change down made for some interesting lock ups until the brain cells swapped over. cheers
@@steveharvey4036 yep have done that also.
I laughed at Trace saying about the rattle I thought that was not discussed amongst Ducati riders. Nice ride, great story mate 😎👍🏼
Lol, I may have caught Tracey off guard with the question about the rattle. Thanks for watching.

Those Tees look great 👍
👍
Very cool Ross. Tracey is obviously a good rider. I'd handle being overtaken by her.
Good rider is an understatement. Thanks for watching
Great bike, I own the same ! May I ask, wich brand mirrors you have, because they look great.
Not sure which brand mirrors Tracey has on her bike. Agree it is a great bike. Thanks for watching
Congrats on the “new” bike in the garage.
New or not so new, either way it’s a keeper.
My advice to new riders, get your affairs in order. Ive lost 4 friends and known several others and Im young.
Sorry for your loss
