Laguna Seca AMA weekend. The culmination of 5 rounds of heavyweight Ducati Superbike prize fights, the finalists of the richly contested Ducati Superbike Concorso have now come to town. 10 finalists representing superbike models from the original Ducati Superbike, the 750 Sport, to the latest contender, the 1098 lined up for a winner takes all final round. Join me for a visit to Ducati Island, a history lesson as well as a visual feast since these machines, brought by their owners from all over the USA literally represent the full spectrum of Ducati Superbike history over the years. One lucky owner goes home with a new Ducati 1098, and two runner up's with Ducatisti "trips of a lifetime" to the Ducati factory and the Milan Motorcycle show. Let the contest begin...

That's "New Blue" bringing up the rear.
Big smiles and plenty of discussion, there's lots of impressions to share. Several of these guys had never been on a track before, Laguna's a heck of a place to start!
New Blue. They don't call it that because of it's beautiful titanium but they could. :-)
