Sooooo… having Kraai work for
Ducati has been quite a schlep! We
are often asked to ride the
motorcycles in, test ride new
models and show off the latest
ware.
Where does a busy girl fit in all
these time consuming activities?
How many bum-in-a-seat hours
constitute a health risk? Could the
Ducati’s become contagious
spending too much time bonding
with these machines?
Blagh… so our arms got twisted.
YeahYeahYeah, we’ll ride these
Ducs the whole weekend again.
It was a short weekend (only 2 days – that’s NOT
normal in SA). We could only get the bikes at 12pm
on Saturday and we had a lengthy highway to
devour before we could get to the good stuff.
Kraai got to ride the first DUCATI SCRAMBLER FLAT
TRACK PRO in SA. It is the latest addition to the
Scrambler family, the cousin that likes to race (or at
least look the part). It is basically the same as the
standard Scrambler, but with a few cosmetic make-
me-look-faster changes: It’s got the exhaust from
the Full Throttle, a new seat, number plate, grips,
mirrors, bars, flyscreen, footpegs, and front
mudguard, and it lost the rear fender.
Listen… I do not have to convince you about the
total awesomeness of this bike. I fell in love with
the Scrambler the first wheelie I popped and if it
was in my arm-gat budget – there would be one
standing in my garage (…kitchen …standing in my
kitchen – I wouldn’t leave it outside).
