My buddy and his team is shooting all the Pikes Peak videos for Ducati this year. Says that it's one of the craziest shoots his guys have done. No sleep, freezing cold, editing wherever, whenever. Wish I was there with these dudes.

so just like last year I was fortunate enough to live in Colorado Springs, a short few miles from the gates to Pikes Peak. And again, I was able to go to the fan fest the friday before to meet Greg Tracy, Alexander Smith as well as Mark Cernicky who writes for Cycle World and is racing another Multi with the Ducati Team (photo of him with Ducati Girls to follow)

I had a chance to speak with THE Greg Tracy. What a great guy. He has had a couple of falls this week while practicing, but he says his bike is running great and is very excited for the race.

Mark Cernicky is a cool guy too. We spoke briefly about his trip from Cali (you may have seen Ducati posting things on Facebook and the Community like, All Roads Lead To Pikes Peak) that was him riding there.

Also!!!! Got to meet Arrick (the crazy 1100 guy). What a stand up dude, very chill, has the best job in the world, and monster as well. We spoke about his week here, watching them practice and being up on the mountain at 3 am every morning. We couldn't talk long though, he was busy photographing ducati girls... yep, best job in the world

Anyways, should be an amazing race this weekend, sorry i didn't get better photos.

Pictures of me with the Ducati Girls to follow hopefully soon.

lots of close free parking for Ducatis!







The Ducati Girls were show stoppers! Mark Cernicky was also a very cool dude.


Hey had more than a few Diavels to drool at, as well as all the multis that are racing

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.
