Thanks for watching it, I really appreciate it. Pikes Peak is such an amazing race. 2012 was probably my last year racing motorcycles there. I broke my back and had a really bad concussion the week before this run was filmed, gave it my all! Not sure I want to push it like that on a bike there again. I am working on racing a car there in 2013! Have a great day!!

have you done any other motorcycle racing since then Greg?

I think the sit up style bikes are best for this type of race. Because there are 156 turns and there is no sighting lap, committing to your front wheel on a superbike is tricky. The multistrada or hyper work well in this environment because you can make adjustments quicker when you all of a sudden lose the rear or front tire. We will see I am sure of that. To be honest the amount of commitment needed to go the speeds we did is pretty over the top. Thanks for the comment, all the best. GT

Hey Greg, killer run. What type of tires are you using by chance? Saw in previous videos you are using tire warmers, are those slicks or DOT race rubber. Keep up the good work CHEERS and Congrats.

If they let sport bikes enter then they would win.

Has to be the best run up there, I've said before this inspired me to go buy one, after kidney cancer. I bought it and looked at it in my dining room for 6mths, whilst recovering.. 4yrs on still here. cheers Greg Tracy, I appreciated the Face book message you sent me, Top Man..

That poor bike had to carry his massive balls all the way up that mountain

nothing but respect doing Pikes on 2 wheels, amazing stuff

Yes. That IS fast. Thanks for the ride!

Those spectators have made strange choices on safe places to watch the race. I wouldn't trust those orange fences on the outside of a curve.

I am happy people have had the chance to see what the run up looks like. Funny it has always been such a passion for me and I really enjoy that my fellow Ducatista get to ride along. Thanks for taking the time to say hello.

Thank you!! The torque on the multistrada is pretty unbelievable! One of the things I love about the bike for sure.

My God man. I live in the mountains in SoCal and ride sportbikes, a superduke 1290r and a Ducati Pikes Peak. I thought I was pretty spiffy. Turns out, not so much. This video is inspiring, frightening, nerve wrenching and well... frightening. Holy Hell man, good stuff. Wow.

Greg, you rock! Thanks for taking us along on that blistering ride. I'll never see the Pikes Peak highway the same!!!

I like how you put it about the risk "Possibly not as much as some might have and more than others". Incredible riding, I am glad to hear that you made it through in one piece and are still getting after it!

Great riding and amazing landscapes . Thanks for the vid .

So great and so fun to watch. Amazing sound on that Multi, cant wait to come watch you repeat this year!

Classic!!! Thanks for that. I feel pretty lucky to have pushed it all these years up there! Best of luck to you.

Absolutely Awesome! I was really hoping you'd post this! You have nerves of steel!

Wow!!....that was 10 minutes of spastic, frenzied, adrenaline filled action. two thumbs up!

I love watching this with my morning coffee. Starts the day just right

Simply Amazing!! Thx for letting us watch a work of art!!

If you never been there you could not understand how brave this ride was,it was epic. Hats off to you Sir, when I drove up, very slowly I might add, I couldn't breath too well due to the elevation ,I reckon you would have been huffing and puffing a bit too !! Love your work,love to see a clip of you at the Beartooth Pass !

Great run. Thanks for posting. Good Luck next month!

Sound!!! That's exactly why I've bought mine. I love my mts. I wish to see you do it again for 2013. Congratulation Greg.

Thanks Eddie, You are going to love that motorcycle!!!! Tell Vince thanks from me for sending you to this clip. I have really enjoyed this race, put my heart and soul into it for 16 years. Hope to see ya on the track or trail one of these days.

11:02 I'm sure that's the spot that took Carlin out

Thanks so much. My favorite time is very early am practice and the sun is coming up below you which casts a perfect shadow against the cliff of the bike. All the best.

no IOM TT but does look fun! i want a go :)

Thanks for that!! Its a crazy race. Raced up it yesterday in the rain, made for an interesting race.

Thanks, I want to see it live someday, mad respect for the TT boys!

You're unbelievably awesome dude, keep up the amazing work from a motoring enthusiast! :D

That was so smooth love that sound. that's one great machine.

Thanks, I appreciate that! I love that people get to see the run. Pikes Peak is a pretty special place.

Took a VERY expensive car to beat a $15,000 bike. And only because Pikes Peak decided to pave the gravel road at the top.

That is a super solid run!!! Just remember to give the Mountain respect like your surfing the biggest wave on the planet. If it wants the Mountain can bite you. Hope to see you there this year!!!

Enjoyed chatting with you guys as well. Keep in touch, what a cool place Pikes Peak is!!

my neighbor had a rare Ducati. 1972 400cc single piston. One of two still in existence of that model back in 1979. He popped wheelies with it all the time.

Wow that launch was awesome! Thanks for this video!

Amazing lines Greg!

Grats!! I love and own Ducati thanks for the rep!

My heart was pumpin' just watching this from the couch lol.

Still loving this and remembering the event with the Ducati group

pure awesomeness. I like to ride fast too but this is so brutal. You sir gained a lot of respect.

Simply breath-taking! The bends are so similar and landmarks/braking points so few, it must be a nightmare to try and learn. Well done to all who take part.

+Peter Kelly i don't understand those spectators. came all the way to pikes peak location and see barely one blink of second motorcycle passing by...... what a waste of time and boring.

killer ride man! a couple of times i felt my stomach drop watching ride near the drop offs and almost eating hay bales.. crazy skill

hope you're running this year, can't wait to see this first hand

REALLY amazing riding! Thanks for sharing.

I still remember that start. Game face was on and going for it. Great ride Greg.

It may have been an older video. This year the course was for the first time, paved to the top. I appreciate you taking time to watch it. I also checked out your youtube page and loved the Macau video you have up,

I've driven up Pikes Peek before.. To see it done at those speeds in this vid is amazing!! Wow!

Wow you have some serious talent man, congrats on the run and you are riding for the best team!

Thank you! All the best!!

Great job Greg Tracy,amazing road and the riding of that Torque 'NICE'.... lucky guy !!!! Sky

this was so tense! great run TT stuff right there

Great ride Greg! Awesome!!

Congrats on an incredible ride! Looks like you had to battle some serious frost heaves. Much respect, Greg!

Powerful Multi. About lost my breakfast watching though.

Great ride.. amazing lines, Greg!!

Nice! Very tidy run!! Im a FAN!

Thanks for the ride! Wow.

Greg, met you this year at the first turn on the hill right before the start line right after the Puegot car went. Appreciated you chatting with us, really cool to meet you and will cheer you on in the future too!

What an awsome run under 10.00 well done

Thanks Bradley! Funny thing is I was just watching a Isle of Mann video realizing how on the edge of my seat I was. All the best to you!!

That was a great! Thanks!

What an AWESOME run.

Awesome video and awesome sound! :)

Great video, You are certainly haulling the mail. Very impressive. Also nice save at 9:16 min mark looked uber scary..!

Did this at normal speed on 8/4 with a group and we saw your bike at the top. It was really cool, had no idea it was going to go on to do this!

It is an amazing road, I have had several of those moments there over the years!;]

Maaan this crazy! You are awesome!

Savage man, savage! Love the roar of that duke. Big moment at 9.25 holy vertical drop batman lol! Awesome dude.

DUKES are K.T.M.s.....This is a DUCATI.

Absolutely insane riding I live in the springs and regularly rode up pikes on a 2001 sv650 until last month, when i bought a 2014 multistrada 1200 A little humbling the way this video puts into context what that bike *could* do with the right rider on board. We'll see how I do when the snow clears off in a few weeks

Greg, i'm Alessandro from Italy and you are my personal superhero! Congratulations for your bravery and your drive! Big Up!

great ride, great video...

I figured either you were someone I didnt want to race or were messing with me! appreciate you checking out the video, All the best!

Did you carry oxygen with you for the run? Did you have to make any modifications to the bike to operate at such high altitude?

Thank you Greg. I hope the same to you and your family. And I hope to see you during the PP 2013 with Ducati.

They do handle quite well, fun to slide around for sure.. Thanks!

Bike sounds amazing!! So exhilarating just watching this!!

wow! now that looks like some fun. good stuff. i hope to have a run myself one day.

attacking it more like a dirt bike than a track bike. it's a rough road. Pin it when you can, break hard sliding into the turns. ya got the whole road blocked off, might as well use it! thanks for posting. jb

Amazing video! Well done Greg, you are one hell of a rider. It seems I under estimated the Mulit's handling as well.

getting that lean on, great video, great exhaust sound 👍

Thank you for the reply Mr. Tracy. That is really nice of you. Wishing you all the best!

Thank you!! I still get nervous when I pass that part of the course!

He was flying this weekend!! Electric motorcycles and cars are amazing!

i drove a car up Pikes Peak a last year and was freaked out... HOLY SHIT YOU HAVE SOME BALLS! there was once or twice i thought you going off the side of the mountain... i have one word for this... AMAZING!

Video is amazing , you Greg unbelievable rider. Keep what you doing, ride safe and please do visit Europe . You making all ducatisti proud. Well done.

Thanks for sharing!!! WOW, Great ride!!! We just rode it last weekend on my FLHTCU. I'm pretty sure we didn't set any records....lol, but what amazing views going up and down :-) Wishing you the Best!!!!

Hey thanks for the post. I am honored! If you can make a ride across AFG I think I would be in. Keep up the solid work over there, be safe and look me up when you get back and all meet ya for a ride somewhere. You can always get a hold of me on, my life at speed thanks again, Greg

Anyone else watch the video tilting their head to the side with each turn? 😂. I don’t know how this man was able to cart his massive balls up to the top so fast..lots of respect for this dude, I could never do something like that..I’m way too chicken! 😂 Love the video! Amazing talent.

That´s a sharp, sharp driving. Thank you for raising my adrenalin, :) You used literally all the inches of the road, never seen that!

nice vid. great driving. respect from germany

Very cool!!! Yes the Ducs just keep stepping up their game!! Enjoy yours!!

i like how you did a little grass/flower landscaping with your flyscreen at 1:35. i salute you!

Wauww, im a starting motorcycle driver ( ducati 748S) and i hope i can steer like this in the future!! Amazing job! Grtz. from Holland

Great videos!

Freaking awesome! Good riding! Great sound!

Very compliments, best lap!

That is awesome! It has been 10 years since Dust to Glory, believe it or not! I say give them a try sometime....

Much respect Greg! Insane vid and skills.
