SanDisk Teams With Ducati For USB Flash Drive

The Alfa Romeo 147 Ducati Corse Edition Live Shots
In between chatting up the bella donnas, our man Spinelli managed to snap some shots of the Alfa Romeo 147 Ducati Cosre Edition. Seen here in lovely Rosso Giulietta, the 147 gets Ducati-inspired decals/logos as well as some nice 18-inch alloys. On the inside, you get the bi-zone climate control (just like a real motorcycle!), upgraded seats and aluminum pedals. This is Europe-only, so most of you will just have to enjoy the gallery. We'll take one in nero, and throw in a couple of brunettes while you're at it.

Michael Schumacher Rides Ducati At Valencia, Throws Down Stellar Lap Time
Schumi's got to have one of the busiest retirements we've ever seen. When the seven-time Formula One winner's not testing the 599 GTB on the Nordschleife, or spending time as the consigliere to the Ferrari F1 team, he's apparently having a go at other forms of racing. Like this past weekend when the legend of the prancing stallion brand took off two of his wheels to take some laps during a special guest ride on Casey Stoner's world championship-winning Ducati in Valencia. Although Schumacher's no stranger to MotoGP, he rode a 990cc Desmosedici at the Mugello circuit in Italy back in 2005, one still wouldn't expect the German F1 star-of-stars to have times approaching that of a MotoGP winner. Wrong. Schumacher completed 58 laps, including a fastest lap time of one minute, 37.89 seconds. That's just over five seconds outside Dani Pedrosa's new lap record, which the Spaniard set in winning the Valencia MotoGP on Sunday. Want to know what made

The latest episode of the Beeb's other driving show saw Tiff race the new Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera head-to-head against Brit superbike racer Leon Haslam on a Ducati 1098. It's similar to an earlier match-up Final Gear ran between the standard Gallardo and a Ducati 999. That time the Ducati won by a hair. We won't spoil the ending for this particular run.

Jalopnik Reviews: 2007 Ducati Superbike 1098
Riding the 1098 away from Southern California Ducati came with a warning. Three busted-up 1098's sat in the repair queue outside the shop. As the foreman explained, the monobloc brakes could very easily pitch you right over the grips or low-side you onto the tarmac. With those images fresh in mind I rode around the shop a few times, through a few intersections, and up onto the freeway. There I found riding the 1098 in a straight line is an exercise in torture. With each passing mile a thousand other Ducatis cried out in pain. Turn, they said.More »

Beverly Hills Ducati Hypermotard
Sunday night was the first time we had ever been to the Beverly Center, and the first time anybody stateside had officially seen the 2007 Ducati Hypermotard S. Oddly enough the Supermotard craze grew out of the Superbikers series on Wide World of Sports. Superbikers brought together road and off-road motorcycle racing, and a Supermotard melds elements of a dirt bike and a street bike. Ducati has taken the idea one step further and produced the Hypermotard, which melds elements Streetfighter and Supermotard motorcycles. An air-cooled 1100cc Desmodromic twin supplies the hyper in moto. McDreamy, Mini-Me, the Rampage and a Dane were also on deck to check out the motard action. More »

Hunter S. Thompson on Ducatis and the Cult of Speed
We love motorcycles, but we admit that we will probably never own a Ducati. They, like their four-wheeled bretheren from Ferrari and Lamborghini, make an absolutely glorious noise. But after years of crashing BMX bikes and having managed to flip a quad, we will most likely buy a vintage Britbike to putter down to the beach on, rather than something that goes really freaking fast on two wheels. Harry Callahan's famous adage, "A man's got to know his limitations," rings true with us when it comes to sportbikes. However, the late Dr. H.S. Thompson suffered from less in the way of two-wheeled fear than we do, and as such, he hooned it up on a Ducati 900SS and scared himself pantsless. And then he went back for more.
