Which blew up today?

[LoonR1]

This was the contents of our rather expensive trackday garage at Donington today. However, one of these bikes is not like the other bikes (Sesame Street rules). Which one went bang and left a rather large trail of oil all the way down the back straight?

Just for fun and nobody was injured

Will stereotypes come to the fore, or technical knowledge, or even just dislike for one of the brands?

Answer later tonight, or tomorrow, if I fall asleep!

Then vote

[LoonR1]

I don't know what to read into the amount of votes that my bike is getting!

[LoonR1]

This is closer than I thought it'd be and getting some serious votes. Three way tie at the moment!

[LoonR1]

71 votes. Shall I let it run to 100 votes?

Sorry everyone, I been busy at Oulton Park on my S1000RR all day with no bloody signal. However to those who voted for my bike to make it the clear winner, I say

It was, of course.........















the........


















Ducati.

[LoonR1]

Forgot to say a massive 170 votes. Where are these lurkers? Come and say hello

[LoonR1]

Of the blown up Ducati? No need. Head to any dealer near you, or bike meet and you'll see plenty

No idea, but there were issues with gearbox fixes under warranty on race bikes.

Proper racing vs. trackdayed road bike is where the manufacturers draw their line I'm guessing.

Agreed

Wait, is this a thread by a BMW owner who's happy that for once it wasn't the S1000RR blowing up?

It was a dedicated track / race bike.

It was a noisy day at Donington, which is billed as 105dB, but actually has zero noise testing and you won't get pulled, so you can't use this as a gauge
