I crashed my Ducati Panigale V2 in Malibu.

After 20 years of Sport Bike riding and many track days I crashed for the first time. I’ve taken this turn 100s of times on various bikes including this one with no issue. Turns out my tire pressure gauge was off and the pressure was 6 psi higher than usual (35 cold). I was confused until I got it home and figured it out. That said, playing the video back, seems I may have been a little early getting on throttle before beginning to reduce lean. Lean angle didn’t feel aggressive though. Certainly nowhere near limit. I did think there was a lack of front end feel earlier in the ride but decided I was imagining it. Trust your instincts I guess! Decker Canyon. Malibu, California. Low side. Ducati Panigale V2. Arrow Exhaust, suspension tuned remotely by Dave Moss other bits and mods.
