Yesterday I came back from Bologna Italia. They know my bike overthere. That is crazy... It was wonderful. Enjoyed an arranged Ducatifactory-visit including their museum in Borgo Panigale. I saw how they make the Desmosedici RR. Visiting Bologna reminds you that your Ducati was BORN there and was made with love and care. It's not big and has a family-atmosphere. We own one or some more of their 'kids' and they hope we take good care of them. It was great.

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

That's sweet that they know your bike, but hell we all do after drooling over it as the BOMB.  I'm hoping to make it out to the factory next year sometime.  [crossesfingers]

A clear indication that Mama Mia is watching!

hey, I hope you rode your bike! That would make such an awesome photo - Ducati technicians at Bologna surrounding your custom ducati!  [thumbsup]

No pics allowed in the factory.
I have some pics of the museum later.
Went by plane, so no pics of bike with the technicians  :).
Alexandre, you're a lucky guy! I had an invitation to go to Lamborghini the next day, but we had to catch the plane early. Next time!
