This week has been rough- with Monday blowing sub-zero temperatures into New York City...to nearly 60 and pouring by Thursday. I'm working on a pretty cool project with my Streetfighter... (more on that later- I'm dropping an 1198 engine in the bike to create a StreetfighterR), but I've been doing some clean up on the website, and it has made me a little sentimental for rides gone by.
So much of my identity has come from the rubber I've laid down on the road alone and with others, to the point that most of my closest people are now largely in the motorcycle community. I thought I'd take the weekend to reflect, listicle style- on some of my absolute favorite rides I've ever been blessed to take. So with all of that said, here are my top 15 Ducati motorcycle trips I've ever ridden, in no particular order:
I've actually gotten to visit the Ducati factory a couple times by now, but the
Museo Ducati is absolutely essential to visit if you go to Bologna (or even anywhere in Northern Italy).
Going on 5 years ago (and before I took videos apparently), my buddy
Jay and I embarked on a 12 day, 2500 mile adventure up to Nova Scotia and around the Cabot Trail, lugging a case of beer and camping out at Meat Cove, at the northernmost tip of Cape Breton Island. This trip was such a self-affirming journey, for the people that we met, and what I discovered about myself, and even moreso discovering what was out there available to me in the world.
