Ducati Factory Tour report

[Raux]

I asked all of the questions I could think of...Is there going to be a new ST, a new liquid cooled, all that stuff.  Our guide basically said "I find our when you find out, now take a look at those pretty cam shafts over there...."

yeah i asked the same question... got a "really i don't know anything about that", but i'm pretty certain the woman i asked is the test rider in the spy photos that's super petite. did you meet the woman who's father's bike is one in the museum?

Thanks for the lengthy post . I was very intrigued .

Sounded like you got your money's worth so to speak.

I think we all would like to take that tour.

Killer..nice little write up.

So cool to see this...
Bummer about no cameras allowed.

You can snap a few pics.     I've been there a couple times and got a few.  You don't need to take them anyway since there are plenty of threads/websites to see.  You can snap all you want in the museum.  That's where the good stuff is anyway!   

The tour is pretty quick.  Stay close to the guide so you can hear.  Hope you get a chance to go.  It is well worth it! 

Reminder about the "great deals" at the store in front.  Remember..the markdown price is still in EURO!!  It was nice when I went in '06, we had a (rather large) additional percentage off the lowest price!    Ducati sure treats the Ducatisti right!!

The wife took me there last year for my 40th birthday. Here's my write up  on BARF. A must see for any Ducati owner.

was indeed a memorizing tour for me. Erica she was. quite petite. we had no reservation. Was sort of an on the spot decision on my Italy tour. But the staff was kind enough to let us in, thanx to a few booked members who didnt turn up. .
Killer; your writeup gave me a live flash back. g8 job.
a few pics from the museum....

Ducati was the inventor of electric razor....even before Philips, can u imagine tht.
