I was watching the race from my living room back in Scotland and noticed the Ducati hospitality tent on the start/finish. I remember thinking that you'd probably be in there soaking up the atmosphere. What a race!
That was some trip. But you had the right bike for it 👍🏻
I hope you enjoyed the race. Sounds like you did.
Hey, you met the Revzilla guys! Awesome. I've only done a 6-hour trip, about 350 miles, so far on my PP. It did really well. My biggest pain point was actually my bloody knees.
Also, the PP excels at overtaking vehicles at high speeds VERY quickly! LOL
Its a great bike!
I had the same pain at the base of the back of my neck after long trips. For my GSA the solution was to add 30mm straight risers to eliminate my slight forward lean towards the bars. Cheap, simple mod and a real game-changer for comfort, wish I had done it sooner. The only thing to look out for is to make sure you have enough slack in your clutch and brake lines to install them.
Thank you
Hey Rembo! Thanks for sharing! Yup, nothing better than riding cross country on a bike, especially those of the Multistrada family. I don't know, riding through Houston on a bike, I think if I were to do that, I would need counseling!
Take care brother, you have inspired to me this afternoon to take a therapeutic ride!
Enjoy your therapy.
You might want to check the vent intakes on your helmet. Those vents often load up with pollen and dirt. A wet q-tip into a vent will let you know right away. Its happened to me several times with my Arai.
Excellent information. I will absolutely do that. I did not even think of that.
Great running into you at the Grandstands (I'm Scott from AZ with the '23 PP) - glad you made the round trip safely! Interstate travel can be rather boring and combined with the pollen...ugh. I rode from Phoenix to COTA a couple years ago on my BMW K1600GT and while the bike is awesome, interstate 10 through AZ, NM and the eastern half of TX is hot, windy, boring and full of semi-trailers. So the last couple years I've done the unthinkable and trailered my bike to COTA. Ya, even me, who's logged over 300,000 miles in my riding career, decided it was worth trailering and then riding once I'm there. Was able to put on about 800 miles riding the hill country the day before and the day after the practice and race days. I did the "Three Twisted Sisters" (routes 335, 336 and 337) and nearly ran of gas - as you know, the Pikes Peak is a thirsty girl - as the area is pretty remote and not many towns. If you are there again next year, I'd recommend adding a day or two and spending some time in the twisty roads of the hill country as I know how flat and straight the roads are there in FL. Now I just need to watch the race on TV to see all the great racing/passing/drama up close.
Great info. I may trailer in the future
@@RemboUSMC Ya, I have found that often riding TO the destination was more about my pride than actually enjoying it, so by trailering it allowed me to enjoy riding once I was there - fresh, not beat up from weather, traffic and long-ass boring interstate freeways.
Thanks Rembo. Maybe I can make the trip on my '22 V4S from Tallahassee next year. I have similar back problems and I'm glad you did so well.
Go for it!
It was phenomenal meeting you! Apologies for going through Houston. We all suffer through it.
Same here. That Houston traffic is crazy.
Sounds like a great trip! Glad you’re back safely. And no, I did not miss the picture with the RevZilla guy (Andrew, I think?).
I thought that was you at COTA! What a great race weekend. See you next year.
You should have said hello
Hi! Im glad that you made it with your injure back. You got a good fuel milleage for 80 moh average! In Canada with the 100 km/h limit i uses to do 360 km with 1 tank. Take care
Good to know!
Great update Rembo! The V4 is pretty impressive, that mileage ain’t bad either!
Use a neck exercise machine with weights and strengthen it. Good for concussions, appearance-even, arthritis--all of it. I have C4-T1 fused from a snowmobile accident and am that I am here at all and functioning well/riding bikes and sleds is because I strengthened my neck--says my surgeon.
Road Warrior! Congrats! Yeah, in CO the allergens have been horrible the last week as well. Thought I was getting sick but it’s just the air.
Yeah, I keep thinking I’m getting sick but now these damn allergies are down in Florida too
Another incisive and interesting video Rembo, thanks. I take my hat off to the mileage you and your fellow Americans cover on a road trip. Not just overall by in a day. Being in the U.K. your single day would have me from one end of the country and part way back 😅
Are you going to get the chance to head to Misano for World Ducati Week? Total overdose of everything Ducati and one hell of a red party 🎉
I’ve always wanted to do that, but I think I would have to ship my bike overseas and back which would be crazy expensive.
@@RemboUSMC Ah, well the group I went with last time didn’t take their bikes as they did previously and had a much better time in their opinion. Obviously doing the parade was an experience they said but the heat and worrying about parking wherever they went took the edge off. Lots of rehydration 🍻 and partying was more relaxing without the bike. Just their opinion but I enjoyed being bikeless surprisingly.
At 80 MpH, your Pikes Peak gets better MPG than my GS Adventure. 😮
Interesting information
Awesome Vid👏🏾
Thank you!! 😊
Glad you had a safe trip. I just came back from a 2100 mile ride from So. Cal to Nashville (2days, 1 night, on a Harley Low Rider ST). I don't use my adaptive cruise control much but I sure wish that Harley had it. I would have loved it on that trip. Yes, I was sore too but did a lot of core work in advance which Im sure helped out. I see you have the touring windscreen. I have one as well but have not used it yet. Did the screen help you out a lot? Also saw you met Zack and Ari.
I met up with Ari years back in Malibu when he was reviewing a Pikes Peak V4 press bike. We did a short but fun ride. I ran interference for him while on my BMW RT. Im sure he will remember it if you have his contact info. Also I am planning on putting the tail section of the RS onto my Pikes Peak. My dealership is looking into it right now. Ill let you know how that goes.
Thanks for the video, Semper Fi!
I put the touring windscreen on specifically for this trip two years in a row. It definitely makes a difference compared to the stock windscreen that the pikes peak comes with
3251 miles round trip and my PP (still all stock) with Road 6s got 41.2 mpg with cruise control set at 80mph the vast majority of the time.
That is some great mileage. If the wind is in my favor, I can routinely get well over 40mpg. The bike is very wind affected for gas mileage.
I have degenerative arthritis of the neck. Years ago I was in my early 40's Dr. told me I had the neck of a 70-year old. I found bar risers helped. I also find on longer rides that if I wear some type of lower back support (like a kidney belt that off road guys wear or work type lower back support belt) helps. Of course exercise and stretching/yoga helps as well. Sucks being old. 🤣
Thanks for the tips. I really appreciate it.
You did a great job how old are you I've just turned 67 pikes peak is my dream bike I want one
i'm so jealous, i wish i had a new v4 pikes peak, so i could trade it for the v4 rs
Right!?!????? Geez that's a badass bike
she's fixin to be my standard mule
Do you still have the stock seat?
I have a 2023 and I’m swapping out the seat, my ass can’t stand the stock seat!
I'm fine with the stock seat unless I am on a multi-day road trip, at which point it is not that great. Daily use, no problem.
For long rides use a Respro mask for allergies.
Great info
6,49 liter per 100 km 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
82mph indicated or 82mph confirmed by GPS?
82mph per Ducati display, 78mph per both GPS’s
@@RemboUSMC makes sense, I was at 85mph by GPS (90 per Ducati display) and averaged about 31mpg. Fuel economy really drops over 80 for these bikes
Have you got any video of the trip?
Coming soon
Change the bike😉😂😂😂
Gas mileage, who cares. I never bother at all. 😅
For this type of bike, I agree. You have no idea how many people have complained about the gas mileage of this bike and the reason why they won’t purchase one.
@@RemboUSMC I too had an Multistrada v4s sport but sold it last year, nothing to do with the miles per gallon, that never came into my mind. And never has since I began riding way back in 87.
Regarding your neck pains, anyone riding so far will suffer pretty badly whatever they do. It's brutal riding bikes over long periods..
Suckit of America's Nascar is going to ruin mtogp
Please explain that comment
@@RemboUSMC in Europe it's not a dog and pony show like the US after the races they go to the paddock and celebrate there win in the US they go to a room and wait till there told to go out and great the fans wtf F off Nascar look up Aprilia trackhouse you'll see what I'm talking about
How many hours or miles will do you on a road trip in one day?
I've did 750 miles when I just bought my V4S. Had to ride it from Germany myself. But I enjoyed it to be honest 😅
I have a problem with trapezius muscles and shoulders. It starts to hurt after several hours. From the other side after me doing gym the pain got lower
I usually hit 1k/day. It’s one of the reasons why I ride alone. Not many people are willing to string heavy days like these.
400 maybe 500. if I want to enjoy the trip no more than 300
What helmet ?
Would be interested to see your findings on your handlebar configuration if that changes anything
Maybe I should try to make this trip from Idaho next year
