Bluehawk: What was it like? That had to be a WONDERFUL experience! I'd like to get a few old cafe Ducati bikes on display. I am really excited about trying and being successful in this business venture. I'm very passionate about Ducati. Loyalty. Don't get me started on Rossi. LOL
El Toro: that is close. Castle Rock is a bit far from me. I don't go to Grand county much. Rocky Mountain National Park is gorgeous in the summer but otherwise I don't go over there. I go to Denver frequently. What brought you to Colorado?
@DucatiChic - Business. Been to Missouri and Dallas since and I'm now in FL. Next stop Georgia, then NYC, CT & PA. Then home
El Toro: traveling guy. Nice. Travel safe and warm. Most the country is dealing with snow and bad weather. Got my Chai at Starbucks, took my youngest son to breakfast finishing laundry then headed home to watch the Oscars.
<---- NOT A FAN OF VALENTINO ROSSI. TRAITOR. Loyalty seems to be to $$$ only. Disgusted. I've love Ducati for 10+ years...still will the rest of my life.
Sorry, Photos aren't great, big cafe, with separate shop with all sorts of Ducati related tat(tbh) and a Diavel Carbon and a Panigale on display. Souvenir shop guy had a 999s, so all was good....
Those buildings in the top photo especially the colours remind me of my mums village back in Italy. Where were the pictures taken south Italy?
It has its origins in Italian emigration in the late 19th century due to poverty esp in the south; just as plenty of Italians went to the US some went to Scotland where the heavy industries were a source of employment. Some were headed to Glasgow to go onto to the US but stayed.
If that were true he'd have stayed at Ducati - he took a pay cut to go to Yamaha. Nothing wrong with loving the marque above a rider, though.
