The coast-to-coast 1199 Panigale Journey of AntiHero

CaliDuc · Jun 21, 2013

Folks,

Over the past 4 months the forum membership has significantly scaled up.

I consider AntiHero to be one of our most valued members in our community. His amazing coast-to-coast journey is chronicled here : Coast to Coast (and back?) with an Italian Supermodel - ADVrider

I trust for those that are not aware of AntiHero's efforts that you enjoy his journey as much as I have.

Who is this AntiHero fellow you speak of? Never heard of him.

lol what was the point of starting a whole new thread on this again? Perhaps we should start another thread to discuss Rich and AR

Thanks, Caliduc! I and a few others here try to do our best to mitigate the damage that Frosty inflicts on other forum members.

I had to post it twice in the repost thread.

What is your writing background? You have a gift obviously, just wondered how it came about.

Thanks! Most of my writing developed in prison, where I wrote a lot of "look at what society has done to me!" letters (when I wasn't stalking the people responsible for locking me up). Once released I secured a job at an elementary school under an assumed name and taught creative writing to blind ESL students (until my parole officer found out). Ok, I kid, I kid!

I read a lot growing up I suppose is the short answer. Went on to get a B.A. in English Lit & Philosophy, and then grad school. I wrote a lot of difficult-to-endure fiction, a lot of critical Lit/Philosophy essays, and perhaps a few unrequited love letters. Always wanted to be a writer, but it took the responses from my ride report to overshadow self-doubt and make me think that perhaps I could choose an activity worse than writing. (And by 'writing' I mean "bleeding in front of a typewriter.")

I'd love to know how many Panigale sales you're responsible for.

Thanks, D

Answers in due course :-D

On a separate note and un-related to the origin of the helmet bag.

I have been fascinated with the design of the Supermono (which now goes for $100,000.00). A friend of mine has an old Ducati model designed by Pierre Terblanche and as such when I first meet him, he stated "I know Terblanche designs invoke different reactions .. but I love his work". So, it was with quite a sense of irony that I brought them both together over a curry near my home. The banter was highly technical and some what emotional.

There are some fantastic future bike designs to emerge as Pierre's contributions are far from over.

Ahhh... the Supermono is such a beautiful machine! I was lucky to see it in person.

Thanks for the great ride report Antihero! That was an awesome journey with sweet pics!

I thought he was a white supremicist that got shot and killed in SA. Just joking but similar name

Let me jump in

All it took was a simple PM and Anti and I have struck up a electronic friendship via email and PM. He has ordered stuff thru me and kindly sent me some of that red paint used to mark the Ducati emblem on the rear seat cowl, and a bunch of stickers, out of the kindness of his heart-free.

I too spent a lot of time writing over the years. Thousands of police reports and investigations & condolence letters for Marines killed in combat. You did a super job on the article Anti and I think you should drive out across the US again and stop by thru the DC area for a Starbucks member meet up!
