Title: Ducati tour in Italy
Post by: ODrides on March 28, 2011, 02:29:16 PM
Who wants to ride Ducatis in Italy? I'm going the first week in June -- the 7-night Tuscany Tour.  Check it out and let me know if you're interested. They're running a deal if you book before the end of the month. http://www.ducatitours.com/ (http://www.ducatitours.com/)

You mean from Monday 6th?

I'll probably be in the Alps or Dolomites then.
Not really close, but we might head down to Bologna as well....

I wasn't planning to, but now that you mention it ......

Thinking back from World Ducati Week '10 and my experience with Italian logistics [bang] this part of it isn't very tempting.

I took a tour last year with those guys could only do a day trip out of Lucca but Rob still took me to some awesome places just outside of Bologna. I got the 848 and the Hyper 1100S he picked me up from the train station, sadly I had to ride two up with him back was totaly non- homosexual. Cool guy though out of the UK his wife is super funny.

Cuz we all would think you were a raging fag for riding two-up with a dude.    [roll]



[cheeky]
I had to ride two-up with this Italian guy just outside Mugello.  I never had time to think about if I looked gay doing it because he was popping wheelies the whole time and scaring the pizz out of me.   [laugh]

They just managed to upset a few thousand Ducati fans by spending almost half a year sorting out the ticket
sales and shipping - still didn't get it right.

For all the other stuff I had my own personal travel agent ;D
(thanks again Geoff)

I'd love that [thumbsup]
The only Alps alternative for me is a local 4,400 km trip to the northern parts of Norway.
Any talk about a Red Planet return for 2012/13?
