Round Three of the Ducati Superbike Concorso was the toughest one so far, at least the judges thought so. Because of the high concentration of truly great "vintage" Ducatis in this area of the country round three was the shootout of the "Originals". Add to that the stunning modified entry's and it was the perfect recipe for some really hard decisions. Join me for a tour....

The Motorcycle as Art . Take it to it's highest form and you're at round three of the Ducati Superbike Concorso, the search for the best Ducati Superbike in America.
Mid Ohio Ducati Island opened on Friday to a bustle of activity with lots to do and see in the cluster of tents and displays.
A small historical display was organized under a tent in the entrance to the "Island". That's a Ducati Cucciolo on the left, a Ducati radio, a 125cc Sport, a 5hp Ducati Cucciolo outboard engine and a 450 Desmo "disc brake". (On loan courtesy of the Lambrechts-Smith Collection)
The Cucciolo belongs to Jim Dillard. Sourced in Italy last year, it's a really nice example of the reason Ducati became a motorcycle company.
Lot's of DOC clubs come out and help make the weekend more fun. On the left is Ducati ROC DOC, Ducs Unlimited DOC is in the middle and Desmohio DOC on the right. Quite a few Ducati.net members as well. If you were at Mid Ohio this weekend and had a smiling Ducatisti check you into hospitality or hand you a kickstand pad for your bike you likely have a DOC member to thank.
Ducati only parking in the front...
and back of the area filled up quickly
In the center is the Superbike Concorso tent. 19 of the best Ducati's in the country came out to compete for a new 1098 or a Dream Ducatisti trip for two to the Milan motorcycle show and the Ducati factory
