Saturday 5:30AM.....

A lone Ducati Multistrada rider departs Devore, Ca and is trackside at Laguna Seca 370 miles away before 12 noon.

OB's 2 wheeled transport. 2008 Ducati Multistrada 1100S. Pretty confident it was about the nicest Multi @ Laguna

I've had it for exactly 30 days today and have put more miles on it than the last bike I owned for almost a year and a half.

Took the superslab up to get there in time for qualifying. Mission accomplished! The ride home would be Coastal, twisty and cool.

Tent camped Saturday night. If you haven't done bike camping I highly recommend it!

Got a Ocean view room in Morro Bay last night as well as a VERY nice dinner (filot Mignon & Alaskan King crab)

Watched some good racing, ate some good food, hit some killer tarmac coming home, 822 miles trip total.

Here's a short video of the first lap of the GP race @ the "corkscrew".....

Enjoy the pics too!

Kenny Roberts.. On Any Sunday II.. I love it when he smokes those Euro fagz and won't take their trophy.. fuken-ay brotha.. They wouldn't sell him rain tires so he cuts groves in his racing slics and kiss their azzes.. if you've never seen/rented On Any Sunday II, I highly recommend it.. I bolded the best section of the old film.. it's all online on youtube..

That was one of "Extremely trick custom" bikes I mentioned.

Thats as far as the "explanation" you'll get from me because I have no clue. Never seen one before

All I can tell ya was it was a 2 valve, dual spark Duc motor

Lovin the Nicky Hayden 848 and the NCR Sport Classic. Lorenzo is on a tear this year. Major props to Vale for his effort to get on the podium . Watch out for Ben Spies next year if he gets the factory M1.

It's a bimota tesi 3D. Crazy expensive and crazy exotic. Bimota has been building some really interesting designs for quite a few years now. The riders who have thrown a leg over these bikes rave about them.

OB, is that King Kennys TZ750 two stroke triple cylinder flat tracker?
