U.S. motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson (HOG.N) is lining up a takeover bid for Italian rival Ducati, potentially bringing together two of the most famous names in motorcycling in a deal that could be worth up to 1.5 billion euros ($1.67 billion), sources told Reuters.
It's just a rumor of course, nobody has confirmed it that's with any of the companies involved...

Ducati rider returns to the top in Italy
Marco Melandri (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) secured his first victory since returning to the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship in front of his home fans, dominating race two in the Pirelli Riviera Di Rimini Round.
Marking Italy’s 100th victory in the championship, Melandri was able to turn around a tough star t to the weekend for Ducati following a race one crash for both himself and his team-mate Chaz Davies. Starting from 10th position on the grid, Melandri was able to use his wealth of experience to work his way up through the field and fight for the victory.
Once the 34 year old was able to hit the front, he never looked back and dominated the field crossing the line 1.113s ahead of Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team) in second position.
Thrilled to secure such an achievement, Melandri explains: “It’s amazing for me, the bike was working very well from Friday morning, we improved in some small sections and today we were feeling so comfortable, so we could ride as we wanted. The race was not easy as we started from P10 and I was in the middle of the group. After 10 laps I saw Torres was doing really well, it took me three laps to catch him, but I expected the Kawasaki boys to get past me so I pushed hard. Today I think my puzzle was complete and I was very smooth. It was good to get the win in Italy in front of everyone from Ducati, and all my friends and family.”
On the other side of the garage, Chaz Davies (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) was declared unfit on Sunday morning as he looks ahead to getting back to full fitness ahead of Laguna Seca in three weeks time.

Ah, the 70’s - the golden age of motorsport, manliness and lung cancer. That trio sat at the forefront of F1 during an incredible decade that made legends and took lives. Years later a loose collection of individuals in Italy dubbed the Milano Cafe Racers have drawn inspiration from that period to craft Ciaparat - a gorgeous 1995 Ducati Monster built to kick ass at the strangest racing series we’ve ever heard of.

Dreams can't be forced, they evolve and as much as we might hope that the object of our desire appears instantly before us it rarely if ever eventuates. Instead dreams take a series of twists and turns and only time reveals if they will live up to all we had hoped for; too often we awake disappointed. So to ensure total satisfaction Gregg Miner, Co-Founder of Speed Craft Co, decided to control his subconscious trance and lay his hands on mechanical metal. From the bare bones of a 1974 Ducati 860 GT comes this Bologna beautiful cafe racer crafted in Southern California.

Official Statement from Gabi Toy,
Nicky’s final project with Gabi Toy was the Nicky Hayden Limited Edition teddy bear, originally slated to go on sale at the upcoming WSBK round at Laguna Seca on July 7-9, 2017. So now, and with permission from the family, we have decided to release the final batch of teddy bears. As a tribute to the generosity of spirit that Nicky Hayden showed to everyone, all net proceeds from the sales will be donated to the Hayden family.
Words cannot describe the emotions we're all feeling right now. However, I personally will never forget Nicky’s charming accent, his infectious smile, his humor, and of course his generosity, from the first time we communicated to the last time we met up. I, and everyone here at Gabi Toy send our prayers and heartfelt condolences to the Hayden family. Godspeed Nicky.
