Ducati hoolaganism in the streets of Indy

Just up is a video of Randy Mamola with Antron Brown riding monkey on which sounds like a Ducati D16 Biposto. Don't let this guy borrow your bike! Mamola is a 13 time MotoGP 500 champion so it goes without saying that the man can ride... But man, I'm not sure I'd like to be Mr. Brown during all that angry bike piloting. Enjoy the video!

KTM.. uh.. Dance?

Just found this and thought I'd share it so I wouldn't have to suffer alone. Actually, it's pretty funny.

I think.

IDM racing: KTM starting to make waves

Well, starting to make waves isn't exactly appropriate as the Austrian manufacturer KTM and it's RC8 superbike have podium finishes already this season. However, for the Assen race, there were 5 RC8s on the playing field and three finished in the top 10! That's impressive for a company that most folks here in the U.S. still don't realize make road-bikes. Now that I think about it, most folks never even heard of KTM here, so... SURPRISE! You can read more about the Assen race on KTM's site.

Current standings in the IDM league:

1. Joerg Teuchert, Germany, Yamaha, 248 2. Stefan Nebel, Germandy, KTM 175 3. Werner Daemen, Belgium, 150 4. Gabor Rizmayer, Hungary, 149 5. Arne Tode, Germany, 141 11. Kai Borre Andersen, 60 12. Didier van Keymeulen, Belgium, 59

MotoGP: Indianapolis on Deck!

The 12th stage of the premier international motorcycle racing theatre known as MotoGP is happening this weekend at Indianapolis for it's second time in as many years. Nicky Hayden, home-favorite, former world-champion and Ducati pilot will be wearing a special one-off Make-A-Wish Foundation helmet which will be auctioned off afterwards to benefit.. Well, Make-A-Wish.

Let's hope he doesn't use the helmet before they auction it off!

Mika Kallio, Hayden's temporary team-mate will be at Indy in his first U.S. race with Casey Stoner still recuperating in the wings. Ducati says that they believe Stoner's recovery will have him back in the saddle by the time the Estoril stage arrives.

Personally, I kinda enjoy having the untested Kallio on the field as it brings a level of excitement and mystery (not to mention anxiousness!).

Make sure you wear your Ducati GP Red this weekend, and if you're like us and can't make it to the MotoGP extravaganza, you can buy your Ducati shirts here at Letko and support from home :)
