although i dont ride my ducati as often as the harley or busa, i still love it: a real work of art! what could make such a beautifully designed bike better? i dont know...maybe a titanium frame?
for sale on ebay is an unrestored 1977 ducati supersport 900ss...with a couple days left in the bidding, the price continues to rise way above the .99¢ starting price!
man, its been a rough start to spring with storms hailing down on me just about every time i have a chance to ride...so, my ducati only has 57 miles on it! today is 80-something degrees and the predicted storms vanished into thin air, so i'm gone.
one lone ranger in australia may succeed in having ALL speeding tickets for the last seven years overturned in his home town if he wins today's (tomorrow's) court case. arguing that the police's speed detection cameras are not calibrated correctly AND cause cancer, the 57-year old motorcyclist hopes to stop the harrassment by the man he has suffered for riding his ducati 1198 at or under the speed limit...gotta feel for the brother!
i took a trip to yorktown and this is all i brought back! my new ducati 1198 is a super bike for sure: cant wait for the ice to thaw!
i have been obsessed with the ducati for a while, but once i sat on one at the bike show, i knew i had to have it, stat! i scoured the internet and located only one...in new jersey...with credit card at the ready, i inquired about the bike only to find it sold several weeks ago: annoying! so, last weekend i found two had just arrived at redline motor sports in the tidewater region of virginia.
saturday i loaded up the trailer and trudged through our snow to pick it up:
someone else came by to pick up the black one: he was cool...
im back home in the snow and ice, but i couldnt be happier!
ever since my visit to the motorcycle show last week, i have been obsessed with ducatis. i havent been able to find a solid red one with a red frame for sale, though...maybe i better step back a second...
did you know you can order your ducati diavel unfinished? i did not... but its a great idea! the kneeslider reports on this custom one by motocreations: extremely badass.
last weekend's motogp de portugal was a nail biter to the end, especially rossi's fight for 2/3: it was great! valencia starts tomorrow and runs through the weekend...get the schedule for your time zone here on the official motogp site...you can live stream it here: see you there!
can you believe it? awesome nine-time motogp champ valentino rossi announced today he will dump yamaha and drive a ducati...i cant blame him: love a ducati.
i love this custom super cafe racer from taimoshan cycle works. builder john pellow used a replica norton frame with a 1000cc aprilia rsv engine, combined with a ducati front end, wheels and brakes, honda swingarm and various custom parts.
ultimate motorcycling reports ducati threatens to change biking forever with the introduction of a sport bike that morphs to a touring bike then goes off road before commuting you home nimbly. watch the video here.
