Ducati Dream Tour
Just finished the tour. I can't describe how good it was. 3 days of full-on riding the best roads, ten thousand twists and turns, no worries about speed limits. Beppi our tour leader has done 10 Paris Dakar races and also runs the Ducati off-road school as well as being one of their main bike testers. Choice of 5 bikes including the SS. I chose a Monster 1200s for a change. Limited to 12 riders. 2 from the US, 6 crazy Brazilians who all work for Ducati dealerships and won the trip as a prize for best salesmen, young couple from Australia who rode 2 up extremely fast (he races), another 2 up couple from NZ, a Frenchman who has a Panigale and only rides on the track because there is too much traffic in Paris, and I with my wife who doesn't ride and relaxed in the beautiful hotel we all stayed in set in a beautiful vineyard south of Bologna.
If you want to ride flat out on the most challenging roads, eat great food and drink the best wine and coffee, do this tour.

Will try and post pics if I can work out how to do it from my iPhone otherwise it will have to wait until I get back to Australia in 3 weeks time. It will only make it worse for you seeing the pics. It was the last tour for 2017, they run 4 a year starting in May I think. Check on the Ducati website.
Sounds like a great holiday..... looking forward to seeing pictures.
Lucky lucky bugger!! - and here I am in dreary old Melbourne suffering 12 degrees and wind and rain. Half your luck Stavros enjoy!!
Dude, we can wait. Gotta see these pics, for sure! :grin2:Will try and post pics if I can work out how to do it from my iPhone otherwise it will have to wait until I get back to Australia in 3 weeks time.

Great choice with the 12S Monster! Have ridden the R version and it’s an impressive machine. Your thoughts on the S?
nice pics. this is on the bucket list for sure. I'd do it next year, but I'm doing a bike trip to Alaska over the summer. Maybe the following.
The Monster is a big brute with huge power and torque but I still prefer my SSS. Had issues with false neutrals with the 1200 S going from 2nd to 1st round some very steep, sharp turns which was a bit disconcerting. Probably needed firmer pressure on the lever.Great choice with the 12S Monster! Have ridden the R version and it’s an impressive machine. Your thoughts on the S?
...And some trouble keeping the front wheel down(?), if you had the same type of experience I had with the R...The Monster is a big brute with huge power and torque but I still prefer my SSS.
