So I ride over to visit my friend Ken in Brooklyn.  He has his friend Astrid, a German girl living in Rome, visiting with him.  Ken's all "Yo Astrid!  He's got a DUCATI!!!"  She has no response.  As soon as Ken leaves the room I turn to Astrid and tell her I realize that she's in Rome and sees Ducatis every day.  It's like if Ken came out and was all
"DUDE!  HE'S GOT A FORD!!!"  [roll]

Astrid was quite unimpressed and assures me she sees Ducatis every day in Rome.  Ken was DAZZLED by my baby and rides the subway.

Last June I spent a week in Rome and I think I only saw two Ducatis.

Mostly just millions of scooters, and handful of Sportsters, a couple of Aprilias and a Monster or two.

Tangent: I have cousins in the midst of spending a month in Bologna (retired teachers, non-riders). In their postcard they said that "Ducati's are everywhere".

I guess being the home team counts for something.
Nobody said that I did. Everyone says that I would.
