I met up with a few mates last Sunday for a long awaited Tour Of Duty to North Wales. There were 2 Street Triples, incl mine, 2 Duc V4 Streetfighters, a V4 Tuono Factory and a plethora of Multistradas out. Left Warrington around 9.45 ish and stopped at Rhug estate bike stop for a brew n burger. Then a run into Barmouth. Stopped for a cheeky Ice Cream on the front, along with a stretch and relax. It was busy as can be expected given the weather. Homeward bound via Blaneau and Betwys. If you can resist the temptation to exercise your right wrist on the A470 road between Blaneau and Betwys, then its time to give up your bike. SIMPLES. That stretch of road has quite simply been designed by the Biking Gods with one thing in mind. Quick stop at Betwys for refreshments, where we saw an amazing Arial Atom, basically a ridiculously fast street legal go kart, it was awesome. back home for 5, and a few drinks with the kids. Top weather, super bikes, brilliant tarmac and fantastic...

A temporary exhibition at the Ducati Museum for 20 years since Troy Bayliss's first world title

The Ducati Museum inaugurates a new temporary exhibition "Troy Story: The Legend of a Champion"
The exhibition will remain open until 19 September and, from 1 to 4 July, the motorcycles will be exhibited at the 2021 Motor Valley Fest in Modena

Borgo Panigale (Bologna, Italy) - The Ducati Museum has finally reopened to the public on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. One week after the resumption of the visits for the public, Ducati also inaugurates a temporary exhibition “Troy Story: The Legend of a Champion” dedicated to Troy Bayliss, three-time World Superbike champion with Ducati.

It is precisely to celebrate the 20th anniversary of that first world title in the 2001 Superbike championship, that Ducati has set up a temporary exhibition in the Ducati Museum with new and exclusive content for its fans near and far.

The date of 21 May, chosen for the reopening of the Ducati Museum, is...

It's a shed compared to the lovely photos I see here!

But the weather was perfect, and you don't get too many days like that, not too hot, not too cold, just ideal. So headed into Wales yesterday, figuring most people would be going home. And judging by the queues on the A55 westbound, it looked like they were. Then this morning the run down from Llandudno to Betws-y-Coed and Blaenau Ffestiniog, and on to Dolgellau, heading back via Bala.

And it still runs so well! Fuelling feels lovely, fuel economy good, no overheating issues in the sun (I'm hoping to have put that one to bed by replacing the rubbish plastic header tank with one of those ridiculously expensive alloy jobs). Done about 70k now. i sometimes wonder how many biking years I have left in me, but I think I can still comfortably manage a couple of hundred miles a day on it still. As long as the sun's shining!

Motorcycle number 5,000 was purchased by the German Ducatista Karl-Heinz Lebensieg, who ordered a V4 S Sport version in Full configuration from the Ducati dealer in Ingolstadt.

To celebrate this occasion, Mr. Lebensieg was invited from Ducati Motor Deutschland to the dealer in Ingolstadt, where he received a sculptural reproduction of the Multistrada V4 together with a personal letter certifying the motorcycle's serial number.

It’s been a wee bit longer than planned (weather not helped), but 1st ride tonight up to Settle.

Engine starts and runs great, but as you can see it needs a lot of work to be done...
