Chuck Smith - Sun Valley, Idaho

Some of the finest expressions of two wheeled automotive artistry are manufactured by a small company located in Bologna, Italy, the home of Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. With a rich history based in racing, Ducati is famous for it's desmodromic valve system, L Twin motors, sublime design and great performance. I purchased a Ducati many years ago and haven't looked back since.....Well occasionally, to view objects in the rear-view-mirror, rapidly getting smaller.

2007 West Coast Madness, June 8-10

About 50 Ducatisti gathered in Torrey, Utah for a weekend of riding, chicanery and camaraderie. Torrey is a great homebase for touring Capitol Reef National Park, Bryce Canyon, the Manti-La Sal National Forest, Grand Staircase-Escanlante National Monument, Lake Powell, etc., etc. This annual event, organized by the Honorable Gary "Hobatz" Eagan, celebrated its 5th year by retuning to the location of the first "Reefer Madness". Motorcyclists from around North America rode in on ST2's, ST3's, ST4's, Multistrada's, Monster's & the new 1098. Cheers to all who attended, kudos to the generous sponsors for the "schwag" and many thanks to Hobatz and Colonel Blood for their hard work. Below are some images from WCM 2007......
