Ducati Superbike Concorso 2008 Round One - Daytona

2008 Ducati Superbike Concorso. In 2008, each round is a stand alone shootout. With new rules, new classes and more prizes, this year each of 5 rounds produces a winner of a trip for two to Italy. It's a Ducatisti trip of a lifetime to the Milan motorcycle show and the Ducati factory and with prizes this good they came from far and wide, Maine, Kansas City, Colorado, all for a shot at the trip and prizes. Join us for this years challenge. Photos by Vicki Smith and Steve Leukenech. Story by Vicki Smith

That's John Avelluto's 2005 999, all clean and fresh off the 1600 mile Iron Butt from Kansas City to Daytona through temps as low as 17 degrees. Here's his bike card:<br />
1 of 31 yellow 2005 999's imported in 05. This one was treated to what should have been done from the factory. All of the components that were once silver or gray are now blacked out, by methods that are factory correct. Also there are painted number boards and tri-color stripes that represent the colors of the Italian flag, birth place of this beautiful machine. Every square mm of this motorcycle has been gone over. Most of the work was carried out personally even though I am not a m/c shop owner or a high performance parts vendor/dealer, just a pizza man with a great passion for Ducati! and I feel like this shows. This machine is ridden daily and was rode here to Daytona from Kansas City non stop for this event.
