A threesome for Max
June 27, 2010 · 5 Comments
Biaggi won both races today at Misano, he led form the middle in race one up to two thirds of the race when he decided to take the lead…in race two he managed to break away from the rest and was impossible to catch.
Race was fun, it was a fight between the titans, Biaggi 39, Corser 37, and Checa 40.
Corser on the BMW led 17 laps of race one, and gave us a nice show until he got tired.. thats when Biaggi Aprilia and Checa on the Ducati made their move.

An evening at the Autodrom
May 25, 2010 · 12 Comments
A couple of weeks ago we got an email from Ducati UAE inviting us to the opening of the Dubai showroom, we were also asked to register for a chance to win a one-to-one session with Troy Bayless.
We had the time so we decided to drive 1300km to Dubai, be part of the event, race our bikes at the Autodrom, and have dinner with Troy Bayliss.
I had some complications and i ended up flying to Dubai while my friend towed the bikes alone all the way to Dubai, and from the photo above i think he enjoyed the 1300km drive to Dubai

Ducati Profumo
April 22, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Two years ago Ducati presented Desmorosso the Ducati wine, in 2006 Ducati designed the bottle of the Z ZEGNA perfume for Ermenegildo Zegna, and now Ducati launches its first male perfume.
Ducati presents its first male fragrance, masterfully formulated by renowned perfume producer Morris Profumi. Characterised with the main ingredients of ‘design’, ‘style’ and ‘excellence’ infused into the ‘mix’, the new Ducati-labelled fragrance is specially designed for those who are motorcyclists at heart, who love freedom and a life lived passionately without limits.
Ducati Fragrance for Men symbolises a motorcycling success story that has become legendary. As if encapsulating an expression of Ducati’s DNA within its first fragrance, the mix hints of the natural and technological and suggests a refined interpretation of modern masculinity and natural charisma. The bottle design, in typical Ducati style, is sophisticated and yet without ostentation.
From the creative genius of Thierry de Baschmakoff, founder of Aesthete, comes the symbol of Ducati’s essence. The modern style bottle with a compact form draws direct parallels to the stunning design with which Ducati motorcycles stand out from the rest. Refined, metal-like surfaces gleam and alternate with others brushed and opaque, while the cap, essential and asymmetric, blends both circle and ellipse as if tracing the dynamic movement of engine internals.
The fragrance itself has been formulated by the ‘nose’ of Symrise, Emilie Coppermann, blending the naturaland contrasting aspects of bergamot, grapefruit, juniper, fig leaf, nutmeg, vetiver, wood and musk, isolating the very best of the green, citrus and woody olfactory fragrances.
Man, his fragrance and his motorcycle in absolute harmony, enhancing the Ducati lifestyle to perfection. The line includes Eau de Toilette, aftershave and deodorant.
The new middleweight Monster
April 20, 2010 · 1 Comment
Its official, we have a new member in the Monster family, the 796 Monster….it has the same 803cc engine of the 2010 Hypermotard 796 and its called the Desmodue.
The Desmodue or the Desmo 2 in English is a completely brand new lightweight engine designed to provide the torquey, smooth and enjoyable character of the L-Twins.
I always thought that the 696 is under powered and the 1100 is overpowered, but now i believe Ducati got the recipe just right with the 796, the bike comes in 13 different color schemes and optional ABS.
