These items, collected over the years, all have a story that makes up the history of the Ducati company. What they are, how we aquired them, all part of a love affair with the Ducati brand. This gallery is a work in progress, items will be added as I get them protographed/scanned or come across new and interesting things.
1972 Imola Pit Pass, signed by Paul Smart from the year that he won. Interesting note - the pass is really more like a badge, it's made of thin metal
2500 lire and this ticket got you in to watch Paul Smart make Ducati history
Berliner Motor Corporation drinking Glasses, 3 of a set of 4 found on eBay
"Dream Team" Grappa - 1990 Produced in limited edition by the Bikers Resturant in Bassana del Grappa Italy. This was the day ride of choice in the 80's and 90's, Italy's Rock Store or Alice's - Maurico, owner of the establishment was a fine cook as well as a major enthusiast and club organizer. This bottle was a gift from Mauricio, I've never seen another one. The label is a photo of all the great Ducati racers of the day including Lucinelli and Falappa. It was likely taken during the once a year "reunion party" held at the resturant which everyone attended including Taglioni and the Castilioni's by MV Agusta helicopter
