The New Bike

A few more from Gilmore

The a few of the ones that caught my eye at the Gilmore show yesterday

Lots of fun!

One of the cool things about working at a dealership is riding all the new bikes!

Progress on the Bonneville

All that is left is to wrap the headers and install the British Customs sleepers.

Owner said it was running fine...

Crappy cell phone pic but you get the idea.

Coldwater car show.

I have a bunch more that I will post later.

Another day at work

My work space

We have been to busy for me to have time to get it set up the way I want it.

Some crappy camera phone shots from around the shop today.

I really like the new Tiger. We are a smaller shop so it some times takes a little longer to get the new bikes in. This is the first one, came in today and I was the lucky sucker that got to bust it out.

6 scooters, 4 bikes makes for a busy afternoon.

Everything came at once today so it was a mad dash to bust everything out. Best part was breaking out the new Ducati Black Streetfighter, so bad ass! I forgot my camera again today otherwise I would have some great shots of the mountain of bikes and cardboard. Come down and say hi and check out that Streetfighter.

Tuesday night dinner rides

Every tuesday. We leave from Life Cycle at 6:30. The ride will be an hour or so then we will stop for dinner. I may help plan a few this year so come on down!

Come on down and check it out.

I give you the Diavel... Come on down to Life Cycle and check it out.

Don't miss it!

Life Cycle is offering another free educational seminar on Saturday the 26th, at the shop. This will be a morning class at 11:00 am. Geoff Maloney of GP Tech will pass along his vast knowledge of motorcycle chassis, brakes, and weight distribution. This will help you better understand how and why your motorcycle does what it does. This seminar will last about an hour and will include a question/answer session.
This can really help improve the handling of the bike when you understand how to use your body and brakes. Any questions call Life Cycle. 269-388-5590

Tonight

Join Life Cycle for Diavel night at Bennuccci's

America!

This fine example was done by my friend Nick Serrano out in SoCal. Wish it was yours? Too late some other lucky sucker already took it off Nick's hands. Pictures robbed from Chop Cult.

Some Better pics of the latest look

Still have a few things I would like to do but have to wait for my tax return...

Latest version of the Speedmaster

I didn't have my camera with me so I took these with my phone. Not the greatest pictures but enough to give you the idea.

A Ducati Scrambler? Rad!

In an exclusive interview with Italy’s Motosprint magazine (you can read it also on their website) Ducati’s general director Claudio Domenicali revealed that the Italian marque is seriously thinking of developing a scrambler style motorcycle and a maxi scooter to add to their line-up, confirming the rumors we’ve been hearing lately.

While the interview concentrated mainly on the controversial Diavel, despite the many rave reviews we’ve read by journalists who tested the bike at Marbella last month, when it was shown to the international press. Domenciali admitted that Ducati wants to up their production to 60,000 bikes a year, thus needing to branch out to other production segments and markets.

Ducati has already laid down the first stone in their new plant in Thailand and Domenicali confirmed they will build another in South America, specifically in Brazil, in order to get around import taxes that are strangling their sales in these two important areas.

So far reactions to the idea of new scrambler have been met favourably, but a scooter branded with the iconic marque just sticks in the craw of Ducati purists, while everyone is worried about eventual job losses in Italy.
