G'Day champions, how's it all going? Some house work firstly a big thanks to Vic Gollagher, ASP, and Chaotic Photographers, who have produced some very fine images from the Classic meeting last weekend, that you will see sprinkled through this weeks blog. Plus there are quite a few images of this years new 2021 Ducati MotoGP bike, which looks bloody amazing. The fins and guards certainly are starting to look outrageous that's for sure. Can't wait for the new season to kick off, it should be a cracker given that Jack has an awful lot to prove. Cant wait to see the new Yamaha, Suzuki, and Aprillia's. It's good to see the championship open up again with Marquez seemingly out of the running even before the season starts. But shit, I love the look of the new Ducati, it's amazing considering that it's supposed to be a cut down minimalist type motorcycle, it looks like it's come from the production line, not hand built by elves late at night in the back corner of the factory. Ducati do do it well. So what's been going on?, well the Diavel is finally finished reg'd, wof'd, tired up, lights all fixed and it goes really well. And bloody comfortable, my knees love it. Can't wait for the Guzzi to be done, it's in Auckland at my good mate Paul's place being finished off. Looking forward to having a Guzzi back in the house. I was supposed to do a day trip to Wellington to see family and catch up with my good mate Haydn, but best laid plans, pity as I was really looking forward to that ride. So in a couple of weeks I will have gone from no bikes to having three to chose from on any given day, and that's how I like it. 










I mean it's just stunning

Punch and stamp
Looks for all intents and purposes like a finsihed production road bike.
Breath deep young man, an awful lot is expected of you this year.



How nice is this?








This is pretty amazing engineering

Love the way the seat scallops to mimic the tank.




















 


















































That's doing it on a Sunday morning
Hmm not too sure about the frame color, but it's been done very well


This is what the rear of the Diavel will look like after the winter, but without the Aussie sticker.


This used to be pure sex in the day, oh wait it still is.


I discussed the DNA of Ducati and then this popped up.




















Voxan, you don't have to put on the red light
These things were epic in their day, great motorcycles



I've got one of these in my lounge. Love the look of it every day.


Gotta keep it pinned











 















Now look again


Well that's all for this week, sorry it was late, I've just had so much to do trying to sort out my garage, and property. You get that i suppose. So see you all in a week or so.
