Discussion in 'Panigale' started by Wrecked, Jan 16, 2019.

  1. You've gotta hand it to him, he's an inspiration to us all. - Extra detail at 8.12

    "Due to a serious heart condition and a hypoxic brain injury, i have to give up motorcycling at the ripe old age of 72. with stiff shoulders a aching back and dodgy knees i managed my final laps on my sons awesome Ducati V4 Panigale. my failing eyesight and excessive flatulence didn't slow me down as its a extremely fast lap.

    thanks to all the friends for all the great times we've had over the years i have been coming to the nurburgring."

  2. Incredible, what an inspiration. Makes me realise how crap I am on a bike!!
     
  3. Utmost respect....
     
  4. Wasn't this debunked some months ago? Isn't 7.30 within fifteen seconds of the lap record?

  6. The rider is Andy Carlile.....
     
  7. its not, its his mate IIRC, AC is on the vid right at the start in the car park (assuming same video - haven't watched it lol)
     
  8. Nope different video and Andy is on that video that you’re on about at the start, his mate is directly in front of the bike and then Andy appears to the right of the bike just before setting off.

  9. May watch it the if a different one :upyeah: title looks same
     
  10. The footage of the rider on track is a good watch.

    I don't get the joke -or whatever its supposed to be- from the BS stuff about the almost dead now third fastest man in the world, I thought it rather tasteless. Each to their own.

  11. Probably a reference to maybe an accident he had, and how he’s returned. But he’s not 72. With you if not; it’s just nonsense and not funny at all.
     
  12. I think the one you’re thinking of is the “Ducati vs Ring taxi” video.
     
  13. The reference is to a heart attack he had, the 72yr old that is. It’s just click bait and nonsense
     
  14. Reminds me of a family skiing holiday one year. My grandad used to come to wobble around on the nursery slope and drink wine all day.

    We’ve got a video we sent back to non-attending family, of my pro skiing uncle absolutely flying down the slopes in my Grandads jacket and hat :D

  15. OK, I'm confused... Who's riding the bike in the vid the OP put up - "old but fast" or AC???
     
  16. No it’s the same video title almost and same old fella. The other has more chat and Carlisle is in front of the bike as it rides off, I think doodle man said it’s his mates dads bike (fella in the video) and it was his mate, not Carlisle, riding. This simply may be another cut or is him on a second very similar vid. I’ll see if I can find the discussion..
     
  17. Not the old fella ;)

    Fake news :joy:
