Ducati’s doing its part to fuel the customization flames on its new Monster 1100 S. The company is sponsoring a dealer competition to see who can produced the baddest bike of them all by releasing a few body panels and the optional parts catalogue ahead of the bike’s official release. The shops that choose to [...]
While Lieberman was strutting his stuff in a bright yellow Corvette at the Thunderhill 25 Hours and Mr Baruth was losing an eight hour enduro in Atlanta, I stayed a little closer to home and indulged my other petrol passion by wandering down to the Cycle World Motorcycle Show at the Long Beach Convention center.

How do you get your Ducati Desmosedici RR MotoGP to the track? Sure, you could ride it. After all, the Desmosedici RR is one of the few road-legal Moto GP rigs out there.
