Tuned for Hailwood, Agostini, Roberts and others…
It was hard to understand all the fuss. Earlier this year, when the AMA Hall of Fame’s secret balloting process went askew and Derek “Nobby” Clark was invited to join the Hall of Fame, and then surprisingly uninvited because of a voting miscue, what seemed clear in all the smoke and rubble was that...

Ductalk editors note: Ducati tie-in - Orange County Choppers became and not long after, unbecame an official Ducati dealer a couple of years back, during the course of the show
After 10 years and 233 episodes on the air, American Chopper is finally getting dragged out behind the shed, and put out of its misery on December 11th, 2012. It has been a long road with the Teutul family, as for the past decade we have watched the Oedipal struggle between Paul Jr. and Paul Sr., with man-child Mikey trapped in the middle, serving as the only adult in the group.
Things started out well enough, with the folks at Orange County Choppers making some interesting customs, and exposing a mainstream TV audience to the world of motorcycles…albeit in the same lowest-common denominator way that is typically found on WWF’s Monday Night RAW.

Depending on who you talk to, a Ferrari F1 car produces north of 700 hp and weighs 1,411 pounds for a 2:1 or better power-to-weight ratio. By contrast, the Ducati 1199 Panigale S delivers 195 hp and weighs 415 pounds for a comparable 2.1:1 ratio. So, if you want to argue that Ducati's all-new flagship delivers F1 performance for the street, you'd be right.

Andrea Dovizioso's first press conference as a Ducati rider began with a joke: "This season I've never had so many journalists in my garage, even if you added up all the races together." Despite rain falling throughout the day, the Italian rider still covered a healthy 41 laps at Valencia: "It was important to start out well, and we did that. I immediately felt comfortable in the wet, and I'm happy with best lap time; it's better than what I did during the race weekend. Even Hayden, who was fast in the wet this weekend, wasn't too far ahead."
