Two hours west of the Atlanta airport is a five story, state of the art monument of glass, steel and concrete generally considered to be the finest motorcycle museum in the world. We step inside for a photographic tour.

Join us for our 2nd annual Ducati.net Ducstock get together during the 2012 Barber’s Vintage Festival. Here’s what we have in the planning:
Event dates: October 11th – 14th, 2012
Location: Barber Motorsports Park, Birmingham, Alabama
Triumph is the focused brand this year at Barbers Vintage Festival so Ducstock II is taking a different approach, and focusing on the camaraderie and riding. We recognize that it’s pretty hard to top a good group of Ducati people getting together to ride, tell stories and drink cold beverages and we are not inclined to mess with that time honored formula. We decided to start with an epic ride. We can’t think of ANYTHING more fun to ride in than an Italian Motogiro style event so we are kicking off the weekend with a great one.
Here’s what we have so far:
We’ve joined up with the Motogiro-USA group and lured them out of the NE USA to do a Motogiro South at Barber’s. Sponsored by VintageMotos Museum, Motogiro South is a celebration in honor of our friend Jim Dillard, who was about as good a friend a little vintage bike could ever ask for. That’s Thursday. Friday begins the Ducati.net set up at the racetrack and the hotel gatherings (we have our own private great room for bench racing and story telling by the full bar) We have moved to the main hotel to the Hilton, in the same shopping park as last year so that wonderful curvy road to the track is still all our’s to enjoy daily….

It took 24 years, almost a quarter century, but in March of 2011, Jason DiSalvo became the only man besides Cook Neilson to ever stand on the top step of the podium in a Daytona Superbike race by winning the Daytona 200 on a Ducati 848 EVO. Jason, a privateer, as was Neilson, did it with great riding, perseverance and a huge dose of luck no one can deny. He also did it with two motors. And on that day, Jason DiSalvo’s Ducati became one of the two most important Ducati’s in US racing history.
The next morning, over breakfast in a small B&B 20 miles west of the Daytona Speedway winners circle a group of enthusiasts were mulling over the whole incredible story....Read the whole story here: http://www.ducati.net/2012/04/the-retirement-it-deserves/
