Ducati.Net Photo Gallery - Vicki's View
The first thing you have to get used to (OK, this part is easy) is that everywhere you look, and everywhere you listen it's nothing but Ducati's. Every stop light, gas station, and cafe has them scattered any way you turn. Welcome to World Ducati Week 2007 where the passion is Red and the Rev's are high!

The Heritage exhibit organized by Livio Lodi and the Ducati Museum was an excellent display of rare and special machines from singles to superbikes
In Italy a bike wearing one of these means it's in the historical registry, something quite a bit more than symbolic
Along side the museum tent was a whole line of vintage vendors.
Some things were just for show like this line of single cylinder motors on loan from Enea Entati, a noted restorer in the Bologna area.
That's an Indiana sidecover, not exactly something you see every day!
You would have been in luck if you needed Siata parts as well (Siata's were the original Cucciolo's in 1946)
Something for everybody - this display of vintage performance bits was well stocked with "gotta have" parts for the well dressed Motogiro rider who likes to go and stop as well. The old Duc singles went like the wind but stopping, ehhh, not really a specialty without some help from the builder)
That's Giuliano Maoggi, the winner of the Motogiro d'Italia in 1956 with John Paolo Canton from Ducati North America. You might remember Giuliano from the famous poster of the guy with the cigarette in his mouth. John did and that's how this photo came to be.
