Sepang MotoGP 2008 Part 2 – Doni Tata, Indonesian Rider

Doni Tata is the the only Indonesian rider participated in GP250, the supporting race for MotoGP this year. Although he is not performing well and his bike is not competitive at all, his existence at MotoGP race event has provide some motorcycling flavour to the Indonesian motocycle enthusiasm.

2008 May: Superbike at Indoprix Race

2008-05-18 Superbike at Indoprix Race

This time, again at a short notice I was informed that a supporting race of superbike was be made available during the national Indoprix Race at Sentul Circuit. Hm.. that is interesting since the official race at Indoprix is only small (110 and 125 cc) bikes. This time they will have Superbike at part of the event, but just as a supporting race and to make the event more colorful.

Those racers at Indoprix are the real racers and they can have very good time lap (below 2 minutes) at Sentul International Circuit, not far different with us riding superbike. Hahaha.. But, anyway, this would be a great opportunity for me and most us as non professional riders to get a real race climate and get some practices with low cost.

2008 February: Drag Race – Sentul

We got this email invitation for a Drag Race. Hm its is quite interesting, just for fun and could be used as a start practicing event for us:

2008 January – Another Track Day

Track Day (26 January 2008) 

It has been quite some time we do not ride on track. So, when it was proposed I was very enthusiastic. So, some of Ducati group decided to be on track today. Ochi try his new 1098, Peter ride on his Multistrada 1000DS, I ride my 1098s, Didi and Bona ride their CBR and we join other friends from R15 (Henky, Andri, Ari, Mateo). Allard and Carlsten join the group a bit later in the afternoon.

This is my new 1098s ( white stripe) and Ochi new 1098:

2007 Nov-Dec: Ducati 2007 Year End Track Activities

After participating for the first time at the National Supersport and Superbike Championship, the Ducati Community starts feeling comfortable and enjoying to participate in such kind of race. Of course a minimum skill and familiarity with the circuit would be needed but overall for us (as non profesional racer) as far as we do not push beyond each individual limit, it was not as scary as imagined.   This is the report of Ducati Community’s participation on the last race series of National Supersport and Superbike Championship on December 9, 2007, on which I participated.  

2007 November – EICMA, Milan Motorcycle Show

Milan Motorcycle Show is always interesting to see since many new bikes usually announced and shown there. I managed to visit Milan and get a chance to be in the show early November 2007.

 

2007 October – Sepang MotoGP 2007 (Behind the Race)

October 2007, MotoGP was in Sepang Malaysia. We do not miss the opportunity to directly see, hear the sound and feel the MotoGP sensation. So Bona, Iboy and I decided to fly to KL and be there. This is the report. Some of the pics are taken by Bona. Thanks Bro.

So this is not a ride report at all:
