truly wonderful

After a couple of weeks of non-riding related travelling it was truly wonderful to get the Ducati out from the school were it been stored away safely for Easter and 1st of May holidays. Unfortunately, a bit too safely since there was a locked gate between the bike and the street and no key was to be found when I was leaving school after working late.

Few got to see when I crossed the school ground and grass and exited through the main gate. Possibly some heard it, though, since I had to rev the engine brutally to be able to overcome a small obstacle on my way.

Finally on the street I enjoyed my ride home with all my heart! And tomorrow I can once again sleep long and surf the queues going to work.

I will have to get back with the story of the MotoGP, it just has to sink in first. This is a capture of the post GP feeling:

Loving Ducati has many dimensions

Today I have done some updates on the blog, there is info to read about my travel preparations in my To-Do list and on my packing page. (This info is no longer availible)

But for the upcoming weekend there are other things to focus on. For me Ducati is synonymous with many things it’s not just riding a bike, any bike. Being a ducatista means so much more!

This upcoming weekend I am going to dedicate to another aspect, cheering for the Ducati riders at the Moto GP in Estoril!

Forza Rossi & Hayden!!!

Tucked away & making connections

Awesome! The other day I got contacted by my WIMA friend in Estonia. She is thinking of going to England for the rally and if so we might be able to meet up along the way. If this is possible it would indeed be so cool!

But now it’s Easter holiday and and I leave my planning for a bit. While I travel by other means I left my Ducati safe stored away and shielded from any occasional rain. Many people laugh at me for covering my bike, and indeed it is unusual. Few people do this, but then most people have the possibility to park in a garage for most of the time. I don’t enjoy this luxury and I have bad experiences from having my bike parked out in heavy rain. My first Ducati got a soaked water filter and coughed for a long time. My second one got a problem with the electric making the oil lamp light up in heavy rain. I find it hard to ride on with it lit, it cold be an actual oil pressure failure, how would I know? So this caused a lot of hassle and I like to avoid problems if I can.

So to keep my third Ducati safe and happily cover it when raining heavily and let people laugh!
