Ducati Week has always had a special WORLD place in my heart. Not only because it is one of the world's largest motorcycling get-togethers and a heck of a spectacle at that, but because of my association with it as well.
I have been in attendance at this spectacle several times, met my idol Valentino Rossi here, and have ridden with thousands of the most passionate motorcyclists at World Ducati Week. Needless to say, it was special this time as well, for more reasons than one.
The very first time I was a part of World Ducati Week was in 2012. I was invited by Ducati to attend the event but I decided to give it a little twist. I proposed that I ride to the event and not just ride to the event, but cover 10,000 km in the process! I rode from Dubai to Italy, covering 10 countries in between, before finally attending the World Ducati Week 2012.
Those 10,000 kms on a Ducati Multistrada were a few of the best that I have ridden in my life. The motorcycle was fantastic, yes, but from the desert to the alps, it was a heck of a journey. That was the journey that added meaning to the name Multistrada for me- Many Roads.
After riding such a distance, arriving at World Ducati Week was a matter of pride for me. And it was a heck of a welcome too. Literally thousands of Ducatis from Panigales to 918s to 999s to Monsters, and Streetfighters; thousands of Ducatis ridden by as many passionate Ducatisti was a sight to behold.
