Greeting to the faithful and welcome to the new followers. Well it's taken me a few days to get up and running with this weeks blog, but it's here. And what an installment. The cover shot is of Ducati's newest limited edition release for the masses. What a stunning motorcycle. It's not very often I am lost for words, some say I talk to much, but this motorcycle is such a beautiful thing. The images are down the bottom of the page for you to really take some time and take the detail in. This is why Ducati is kicking everyone's arse's at the moment. I am gobsmacked. Once you have checked out the images go and have a look at your Japanese motorcycle sitting in the garage. The fit, the form and the function. Nothing compares. Well the lizards are off next week for a quick jaunt around the South Island, looking forward to catching up with everyone again.. And of course I might not be going. Just received a notice that I am required for a morning of scans right in the middle of the ride dates. Busy trying to get that sorted. Had a great day at Hampton Downs the other day. It was quite funny, I was in the same space as the chap who accused me of having a fling with his ex, or what ever she was at the time. I wanted to go up to him and slap his face and tell him that he has successfully ruined 3 great friendships, but I actually ended up feeling sorry for him, so let him off with a filthy stare. I'm done. So this week there's a bit of everything for all your tastes. Stunning motorcycles, locations, food, architecture, of course the ladies which I know you love too.  Speaking of which no more talk, Enjoy. And above all be INSPIRED, not only with the bikes, but with your lives and friendships. They are important

They are getting quite clever nowadays aren't they?

 

There was something about the Laverda......

One I prepared earlier

Looking forward to the evening road food when away

A great shot of Stroudy doing what he does best

Another one I prepared earlier. Always liked this bike and I think what I did to it, just made it that bit better.

It's murder on the dance floor.

Helped get this running a few weeks back. So much history sitting there.

THis is what I want as my next motorcycle. I just love them. Perfect for this country.

Another one I prepared earlier. I'd like to think that I improved the original. Although the cow hide seat went after about a week. Didn't really gel with that.

I dont even have words for this Ducati. Take a moment and feast your eyes over this edition Ducati have just released. They are an amazing brand thats for sure. Winning on the track in MotoGP and WSBK, and on the showroom floor. I mean just check out the detail, how the fairing fits around the clutch, the fonts they used on the triple clamps, the colour scheme is almost perfect, the carbon fiber flawless. The effort gone into designing the footrest and making them works of art in their own right. This is a masterpiece of Form and function. It does not get any better than this.
