Check out Gotham Ducati, NYC's first and only official Desmo Owners Club

Oil and Ink Expo at Jane Motorcycles

 I rode with my friends Jared and Chris straight from Motorcycle Mall's European Demo Day in New Jersey, straight to the Oil and Ink Expo in Brooklyn, an exhibition of motorcycle art hosted by Jane Motorcycles.

 The crew at Jane was decidedly a much hipper crowd than dirty Jerz, though I met up with several people I had planned on meeting there, as well as several people I had met on various different rides before.

 The event was also really neat... various framed prints of mod-style, cafe-racer themed artwork from artists like Lorenzo Eroticolor,  Matilda Mcilvenny, Maxwell Paternoster, Jeremy Lacy, Danilo DeDonno, Antione Gaslais, Carter Asmann, Deepak Jolly, Casey Burres, Viet Nguyen, Sophie Varela and more....

 The coolest part of the exhibition was Makoto Endo, demonstrating his artful craft of delicately splatter painting classic and custom bikes... If your I think you can requisition a painting of your own for few K...
 This particular motorcycle was on display at the Brooklyn Invitational last week...
 as well as this awesome race-modified Ducati SportClassic.
With free tequila flowing, it was a pretty good time, and I made a few friends before going home to go to bed early, as I was getting up at the crack of dawn to go to the IMOC rally in Massachusetts the following day.
