This is a re post but I thought about this trip recently as I am hoping that Phillip Is is back on again this year. Tell us your story of a favourite moment on a ride. Does not have to be a Ducati.
Recently I went on a trip to Phillip Is to watch the MotoGP. I was in a group of six and not one was a Ducati let alone a Panigale. There were 3 Kawasaki GTR, 1 Honda Blackbird, 1 Kawasaki ZX14 and my K1300S Beemer. On the first day on a quiet road we were all riding along at a good pace, in a staggered formation about 1 bike length apart going into a right hand bend which crested a hill. The view in the background was distant mountains and the ocean. I had some nice music going and mated with exhaust note of the bike in front of me made the nicest music to me ears I have heard in a while. Coupled with the rush of wind and the feel of the road through the Metzeler tyres on the beemer gave me a real rush.
One of those times when you remember why we go motorcycling. Does not matter which bike you have, they are all fun.
