Does Formula 1 racing and high end audio go together for anyone else?

@tablejockey  that's a cool video! I love Rossi's persona. The Ducati mechanic here in KC was a riding buddy of mine years ago when I used to ride, I can only imagine what it would be like to ride with Valentino casually. It would be so cool if he made it into the Formula one scene.

@chetatkins I tried to get into that netflix series about F1 last year when I started getting way into the sport as a hobby and I was kind of amused because when I tried to watch it I literally couldn't understand all the drama. I was like, what is this sh*t?lol My impression was that they were just trying to spin drama around racing to attract an audience. No racing? lol 

@sns which model Ducati did you get? I used to ride an ST2 years ago, which is the sport touring model. I used to love to travel on my bike. But retired from the hobby after a lil fall down go boom. I have some seriously cool memories, because I was about as avid about my interest in riding as my love of music.

Mario, the Ducati mechanic here in KC did a custom job for me and made a four valve motor from an ST4S, which is a much more powerful motor, fit in the ST2 frame. It was a really cool bike.

The two valve motor was actually more fun, in a sense, b/c it had so much low end torque. That made it really fun to ride on the twisties, especially with the sound of the dry clutch. The clatter of the dry clutch sounded so cool. I don't know how to post pictures here but it would be fun for some of us to share pictures of our old rides, 

Can anyone else get that ball rolling?

And is anybody willing to post some simple instructions to make it easier for others to share pictures of their sexy Italian motorcycles? 

No.

I do blend the two interests by watching F1 and playing the audio thru my high quality system however I prefer to see the two as complementary. No need to add another wrinkle to an already vibrant forum. 

F-1 Has become very boring the last few years. I have resorted to just watching qualifying as that will determine the winner 99% of the time. You say that Hamilton has an “air” around him. Yes he does as do all professional athletes in every sport. This is actually what allows them to be as good as they are. If you don’t have that you will never be an elite athlete and make it at this level. I will argue that  Max Verstappen is the biggest dick of all of them, but that works for him. Now look at the audio file circuit and start thanking about people with an “air” around them. Here it is just plane arrogance and snobbery not needed for survival like F-1. I would like to see them designate four races a year to reverse grid to add some competition and excitement to the sport.
