Ducati Superbike Concorso Mid Ohio 2008

Mid Ohio Sports Car Course. Located halfway between Columbus and Cleveland it's one of my favorite stops on the schedule. People here love motorcycles, in fact Ohio is third in the nation in retail motorcycle registrations I have heard. It's easy enough to believe and Ducati has rewarded all that 2 wheeled enthusium with a round of the Ducati Superbike Concorso contest two years in a row.

Tom Perko's ultra rare 1997 916SPS. Considered by many to be the most collectable version of the 916 (it was the homolagation bike for the first use of the 996 cases and the basis for the most successful racing Ducati in history). This one was rewarded with the Troy Bayliss Award.
