... Digs about a bit ... Look at the cadwell website ... there are some lap record times in there ... Its only one club - so not definitive, and unfortunately it is an Aprilia RSV that holds the twin lap record not a duke, but you get the idea:- http://www.cadwellpark.org.uk/ Chay Newton Yamaha TZ250 06-May-06 01:38.62 79.21 Mark Compton Aprilia Factory 22-May-05 01:39.88 78.21 Dig around a bit more and you will probably find more/better examples, but a GP250 bike is no slower (laptimes) than a 1000cc twin ... bearing in mind neither of our candidates (Mr Duke, Mr 250) are MotoGP legends, we are certainly down to rider differences here ... It just goes to show that Mr Duke doesn't know all he thinks he does Last edited by Blue_SV650S; 17-11-07 at 10:06 AM. |

That aside i think British 250's were into the 1.32's at one point!!!!. The fastest 1098 Duke about 1.33's. |

No one can dispute what is described by the Ducati Rider/Marshall as a dodgy move. The 250 rider wouldnt dispute it eaither - but he is describing the incident occuring differently. My judgement would sway either way depending on whose description was most accurate (pending the allowance to overtake on the last lap). |

Indeed, Mr Duke is prolly the sort that has all the gear, but makes up the back of the field, and Mr 250 is a front runner ... Thanks for putting some more relevant/definitive laptimes up ... Pedrosa, if you have ever been out on track with a GP250, it is something to behold!! |

Rewinding slightly, ok so Mr.Ducati might have been blowing it out of his a+s a little and as mentioned I don't know Cadwell at all......but I would tend to err on Mr.250 being an inconsiderate and dangerous c*nt. If I had been his victim and was not stretchered, I would for sure have gone looking for him in the pits. But then again diplomacy was always my strongest point! |

Back to topic - Chances are it had been a ferocious battle during the sesh, that both enjoyed, just Mr 250 didn't 'switch off' during the cool down lap, but Duke did ... that was a mistake on 250s part and he needs to hold his hand up and say sorry* ... case closed!! The rest of the stuff is just ego talking/chest drumming!! *and learn from it! Last edited by Blue_SV650S; 17-11-07 at 11:29 AM. |

Re: Track day conflict.
Not the same circuit, but remind what year was it Steve Hislop lapped Donnington faster on his Duke than Rossi did on his GP bike...

Re: Track day conflict.
Take out track day insurance - Problems solved.
Unless of course you pop your clogs. But if you're worried about that, you probably wouldn't be on a track day.. or a motorbike! |
