 I did a 1k  in 15 hours on a BMW K1200RS once. On that bike it was a piece of cake!

That guy has a thread over at advrider. I think it's called "coast to coast with an italian supermodel". Ducati even invited him to COTA to test out the new panigale R after the boss caught word of his blog. Pretty cool stuff.

I followed the thread on .ms.

He has some serious balls, writing skills, and a good eye for photography.

It's a good read if you have the time.

Yeah, I followed this too.  That dude can write.  Rideapart should hire him.

Just started reading and looks like he had the same "rare" problem as me with the swingarm protector being ground down from the chain/ABS sensor/bracket/bolts.

Just saw this video come up so I thought I'd dig up this thread:

Dennis Matson's Ducati 1199 Panigale Adventure (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7QnJyvQRTk&feature=share&list=UUzGsJzGNCfvY9x6Ij2XiODw#)

I was wondering what Ducati was going to do with the footage that they shot.
The thread in ADV rider is 130 pages long, butt is an entertaining read, and I recommend it to anyone with some wanderlust lurking in there being.

I read thru that thread on adventure ride for a while. Pretty cool that he was treated so well by Ducati, he did some really good promotion of the bike. I wouldn't mind trying to see how far I could go on a Panigale.

The part about the heat on the seat feeling like he was actually burning his leg gave me pause to the idea.
