My 8mm film footage of the 1977 Formula 750 and heavyweight production races at Laguna Seca racetrack in Monterey Ca. Shots of Kenny Roberts on the track and his pit. Gary Nixon sleeping in his pit. and good shots of Cook Neilson and his famous Ducati racer, and of course a crash in the corkscrew. Music by John Mayall
Vicki Smith for Ducati.net's insight:
Almost no video footage remains of Cook Neilson, Phil Schilling and the famos Ducati racer Old Blue so this is a classic and priceless short film of Ducati history

It’s been a decade but the formula is still the same. Take one iconic race circuit, in this case Mugello, Misano or Adria, add a group of accomplished racers like Troy Bayliss, Marco Lucchinelli and others, include a passion for Ducati motorcycles and a desire to up your skill level, and stir it all together. The results are both enjoyable and a truly great vacation. Our favorite part? Doesn't matter if you know how to ride at all…
Vicki Smith for Ducati.net's insight:
We have attended this school and find it to be quite unlike a standard racing school. Especially if you live somewhere besides Italy the experience of the school coupled with the culture, food and iconic tracks and instructors make this a really great "learning vacation"

There is no rivalry in MotoGP more bitter than that between Valentino Rossi and Casey Stoner, more bitter even than the one between Wayne Rainey and Kevin Schwantz. It has been a constant element in their relationship since Stoner won his first MotoGP title in 2007 (ironically, Stoner named Rossi as one of his heroes on the t-shirt he wore to celebrate that championship), though hardly a surprise, as the two men are polar opposites in almost every respect, except for their prodigious talent. The rivalry has intensified over the years, stoked by a series of incidents (nicely outlined by the peerless Italian website GPOne.com recently), including the booing of Stoner by Rossi fans at Donington in 2008, the epic battle at Laguna Seca in 2008, and the war of words between the two in 2010, ahead of Rossi's move to Ducati....

This picture is an almost unrecognizable Andrea Iannone following his nose surgery.
The new MotoGP Ducati rookie underwent surgery earlier this week at the Toniolo Clinic in Bologna to correct a deviated septum that was causing him breathing problems (and probably nasal congestion, snoring and sleep apnea too).

The Ducati Riders Experience offers biker tourists the chance to merge hobby with holiday.
As the winter chill and gloom starts to set in to more northerly countries and snow takes hold on the ground, people's thoughts there tend to wander towards vacationing in more sunny climes; of lying on a beach, book in hand, the sun warming their bodies with the soft sound of rolling tides lapping the sand. Ahhh, bliss.
And some have other ideas of vacation bliss; some need a bit more adrenalin. And a lot more noise....

The wheels are in motion and the music is cued up for MidAmerica Auctions’ 22nd Annual Las Vegas Motorcycle Auction and Races on Jan. 10-12, 2013, at the South Point Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nev.
Vicki Smith for Ducati.net's insight:
We have attended this series of auctions (in the past there have been as many as three going on during the three day event) and have found it to be an event above and beyond the auction itself. Lots of great bikes to see (and buy) and plenty of other gearheads to meet up with, it's a pop-up museum of sorts. Add to the mix that it's scheduled during the big yearly electronics industry convention CES so the world's media is on hand, Vegas is hopping and the people watching is superb....
