Heads Down: The Park Avenue Daily Grind
Brooklyn Invitational Custom Bike Show 2013
Stumbled on the Brooklyn Invitational Custom Bike Show out riding today...
NYDucati goes to LIC
My girlfriend arms were hurting, as she's not too used to riding long distances, so we pulled up in the parking lot of some waterfront industrial park in Long Island City to take a break.
To our amazement, in the corner of the parking lot behind a twenty foot chain-link fence was a waterfront bar called
Anabel Basin with incredible views of New York City.
Grand Street on Fire

MV Agusta F4RR, F3 800 Triple, and a Brutale 800 in the Showroom at Rockwell Cycle
I, for one, am pretty excited about the new line of Italian imports coming from Italy this year. I don't think MV Agustas are quite as pretty as Ducatis, but they're comparable in performance, craftsmanship and of course the pricetag. This 2013 MV Agusta F4RR
retails for around $25,000, though a base F4 starts at around $20K.
Weird, Can Am 3 Wheel Scooter?
Ok, so this isn't a Ducati, but it was a bizarre bike. I stumbled across this Dodge Prowler-style scooter chained to a lampost in Chinatown. I couldn't find a make, so I'm not sure if it was custom scooter or just another weird bike out of China (of which there are tons in downtown NYC).
Major Mods on this Magnificent Monster
I'm not sure if this was for sale, or just in the shop at
Rockwell Cycle, but this was one of the wildest monsters I've ever seen. No cans, just baffles, twin-headlights, custom painted chromo tank, aftermarket belt-covers, open clutch cover, custom guages and carbon fiber everywhere and spoked, tubed rims.

26th Streetfighter Testastretta
This guy parks his Ducati Streetfighter next to the Armory, usually next to a bunch of pretty nice bikes and scooters.
