Bike Magazine contacted me about six weeks back and asked if I'd write an article for them about my cross country trip on my S. Though I wrote an article for RideApart several months back, I'd never written anything for print and never worked with an editor. Great experience, but also quite a bit more stressful than posting online.
In college I read Bike and Fast Bikes for years. Their journalistic style is a refreshingly different than what we typically see out of the moto mags here in America. If you've never read anything from the UK, pick up a copy sometime (if ya can't find a Barnes and Noble, you can buy in iTunes Newsstand).
In any case, hope I've represented us in a positive light and have done my part in helping to change the negative perceptions non-Ducati owners have of Ducati and Ducatisti (misconceptions about rideability and reliability, Starbucks/Poseur jokes, etc.).
(Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for the inaccuracy of the map or for the edits that led to a couple of grammar/punctuation oversights!)
