I finally had a close up look at the mouth watering Ducati Diavel. It sat quietly on the front nature strip of my local Ducati dealer in Ringwood. I really think there needs to be much more excitement about this bike. As I stood in front of it, I looked around and wondered why there wasn’t a crowd gathering around me. I feel like standing on the street and screaming out “Do you understand how amazing this bike is?!”. As I sat on the bike and lifted it off it’s side stand I was amazed at how light it was and it was clear that this would be a nimble ride despite the massive rear wheel. This bike is faster than it’s own 1198 and pretty much anything on four wheels, and some call it a cruiser! Every bit of it oozes quality and the seating position is embarrassingly comfortable for something this mean looking. This is a machine of pure passion and I can’t wait to test ride it.

Broadford Bike Bonanza 2010
My first time at the Broadford Bike Bonanza and my last ride on my Honda VTR 250 before I trade up to my 09 Triumph Bonneville SE. There was a fantastic display of cafe racers and classic bikes, and not just for show as the owners had the opportunity to race them on the track. Here are some of the highlights for me. Wish the pics could be better but I only had my mobile phone camera on me. A great day and a fitting farewell for my little Honda.

Red bikes
Red bikes are nice… Left, 1960 Aermacchi Chimera, Right, Ducati MH900 made around 2000. The first one what I like to call a future-retro bike, like it belongs in the Jetsons. The latter bike, an absolute beast with a phenomenal exhaust sound. Check out the clip below to hear the roar. I love how the retro style can be interpreted in so many ways, and how good design doesn’t seem to become outdated, at least to me anyway.
