Multistrada Ride Africa DVD Launch Party/Ride

Multistrada Ride Africa DVD Launch Party/Ride | Ductalk | Scoop.it

My most recent winner of attention is the Ducati Multistrada that was recently assigned to me as a long-term test bike. I’ve been reading up on history, looking up possible modifications, and always have my eyes and ears out for cultural uses of the Multi. Halfway around the world, and three years ago, When Ziggy Marley set out to explore South Africa in conjunction with the FIFA World Cup in 2010, the bike he and his brothers (Zohan and Robbie) chose was Ducati’s Multistrada.

American Chopper Cancelled: Thank You Jesus? | asphaltandrubber.com

American Chopper Cancelled: Thank You Jesus? | asphaltandrubber.com | Ductalk | Scoop.it

Ductalk editors note: Ducati tie-in - Orange County Choppers became and not long after, unbecame an official Ducati dealer a couple of years back, during the course of the show


After 10 years and 233 episodes on the air, American Chopper is finally getting dragged out behind the shed, and put out of its misery on December 11th, 2012. It has been a long road with the Teutul family, as for the past decade we have watched the Oedipal struggle between Paul Jr. and Paul Sr., with man-child Mikey trapped in the middle, serving as the only adult in the group.
Things started out well enough, with the folks at Orange County Choppers making some interesting customs, and exposing a mainstream TV audience to the world of motorcycles…albeit in the same lowest-common denominator way that is typically found on WWF’s Monday Night RAW.

Ducati Junior Team Sponsor? Not Michael Jordan | SuperbikePlanet.com

Ducati will have a "Junior team" in 2013 MotoGP comprised of American Ben Spies and Andrea "Crazy Joe" Iannone.

It is expected that Spies and Iannone will receive essentially the same motorcycles as factory Ducati riders Nick Hayden and Andrea Dovisioso--at least initially.

This is a remarkable change for Ducati's MotoGP effort as prior to this most satellite Ducati MotoGP teams were referred to--internally--as "the spare parts teams". Motorcycles were not always, or not ever, depending on the team/rider, on the same level as the factory Ducati motoGP bikes.

IRIS Nights Lecture Series | Guy Webster

IRIS Nights Lecture Series | Guy Webster | Ductalk | Scoop.it

Many of you know of Guy Webster, because he has an excellent motorcycle collection in Ojai CA and has been really generous with his bikes over the years - lending them to shows and exhibits like the Art of the Motorcycle.  But what he is REALLY famous for is his photography and tomorrow there is a rare opportunity to hear him speak on the topic. 

"One of the early innovators of rock and roll photography, Guy Webster has spanned the worlds of music, film and politics in his 50-year career. His hundreds of album covers have included the Rolling Stones, the Mamas and the Papas, the Beach Boys, the Doors and Simon & Garfunkel.

Photographer for the infamous Monterey Pop Concert his images were used for the festival booklet and include concert photos of Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, The Who and many others.  He has photographed film legends such as Rita Hayworth, Dean Martin and Bob Hope as well as countless luminaries and celebrities including Igor Stravinsky, Allen Ginsburg and Truman Capote for hundreds of worldwide magazines."


Tomorrow at 9:29am Pacific Time 150 tickets will be given away to his Sept 13th Los Angeles lecture.  They will go fast (like a rock star concert because Guy really IS like that). 

We thought we would share this with the Ducati Community because while so many of us know Guy in the Motorcycle world, he rarely speaks of the photos and when he does the stories are, well, just incredible I can assure you......


To get tickets go to this link: http://iris0913.eventbrite.com/


If you will be in LA on Sept 13th, the show is at:


2000 Avenue of the Stars 
Suite 10
Los Angeles90067

‘Jack Ryan’ First Look: Chris Pine Rides a Ducati | screencrush.com

‘Jack Ryan’ First Look: Chris Pine Rides a Ducati | screencrush.com | Ductalk | Scoop.it
Chris Pine is in the process of rebooting his second high-profile character for Paramount Pictures, and 2013 is most likely the year he becomes a household name. We’ll see him reprise the role of Captain Kirk in J.J. Abrams’ ‘Star Trek 2‘ in May, while next winter brings us Pine take on Jack Ryan in, well, ‘ Jack Ryan.’ If you were wondering what the latter character will look like, today’s your lucky day, as the first image of Pine-as-Ryan has been revealed.

As you can see from said image (via ComingSoon.net), production has officially begun on ‘Jack Ryan,’ which will tell the origin story of the fictional CIA operative. Not a whole lot to take away from this picture, other than shooting is taking place in Manhattan (South Street Seaport, it appears) and Jack has expensive taste in motorcycles – that’s a Ducati, baby....

Can't argue with his taste in bikes, or that he seems to have a Ducati in every town he spends real time in (he has been seen riding an upgraded white 848 EVO in LA as well)
