The Ducati Girls!
filed in Motorcycles on Feb.24, 2010
We have finally been having some glorious weather here in the Wairarapa and Sunday was no exception and dawned clear-skied and still. Having been abandoned by the dearly beloved for a few days while he did some bike riding of his own some quick networking was surely needed to see if I could gather up my friends and head off for a girls own bike ride on our Ducatis. No trouble at all….they were as keen as mustard and we agreed to meet in Greytown to plan our assault of the ‘Rapa roads’ and have the first of a few coffees for the day – we then headed off on our merry way. The fact that the three of us ride Ducati Monsters is sheer coincidence (it does show that we do have good taste…..:-)) but it does attract attention as we pull up on our red, yellow and white Ducatis – do we enjoy that attention….yes of course!! We had a fabulous day with lots of fun and laughs finishing back in Greytown again for a wine and pizza at the famous Cuckoo Cafe…..very much needed after 6 hours of riding around the fabulous Wairarapa roads. All good things have to come to an end though and I now have to knuckle down and get all your Fiona Bassant Cushions made and sent off to you. That’s good fun too……

Great to see you at the beginning and the end of your ride.

Great to see you too! Who knows, maybe we will get you on two motorised wheels one day!! Sure beats slogging it out on the push bike.

Couldn’t get enough of riding with the girls and have a good chin wag during our coffee/lunch stops. Lets do this again soon. x x

Hi fi,
looks and sound like you had a neat time! lucky you!
how about asking Bianca and Carla (she has helped in the past) if they would like to perhaps marshall for one day at the hillclimb?? twist some arms maybe.
Will catch up soon i hope
take care Dina

Thanks Dina, it was lots of fun. I’m sure they would love to marshal at the Gladstone Cliff Hanger Hill Climb on the 20th & 21st March 2010, but I have heard a whisper that these two girls are going to be racing it themselves….you have a couple of serious speed demons here and I think their rightful place is on the race track!! Me, I stick to the speed limit…..yeah right!!
