Ducati TT Symposium

For the second year, Lou Saif, Ducati TT guru, and Ralph Stechow, noted collector, held a private gathering of some of the most important Ducati race bikes Ducati ever offered. As expected, the turn out of both motorcycles and the people that appreciate these special machines was outstanding. For those that weren't there but wished they could have been, the 2011 TT event will be held at Barber's Motorsport Park during their excellent Vintage Weekend. Hope to see you there!

This bike belongs to Jon Slocum, President of DESMO in NY. The story is he bought it (maybe I should say rescued) and the paint job that was on it was really, really bad, so the fast solution was to rattle can it so he could ride it. Ted Gooch called it an F1 "Arrrrrrgh", a name which I am certain will stick :-)
