Hey, thanks for the pictures Jackal. This is gonna be exciting, seeing the new bikes. I like the Chapter 2 thing with Nicky, nice.
Can't tell very clearly, but the new Duc's aerodynamics are probably less bulkier than the GP8 they ran this year. The monster power of the Ducati engine on the revolutionary carbon fibre frame, boy, that bike is gonna be a rocket on the straights at least.

Great pics...... i'll tell you what, i was never much of a fan of Nicky Hayden, but he has impressed me immensely this year considering the bull**** he must of put up with in the Repsol garage.....
The Chapter 2 thing is clever whichever way you view it.
