Ducati Monster Day 2012
Ducati Monster Day, October 13, 2012, Burgos Circle, Bonifacio Global City.
2012 is the 20th Anniversary of the Ducati Monster-the best of all naked bikes. Miguel Angel Galluzzi, designer of the Ducati Monster said: “All you need is a saddle, tank, engine, two wheels and a handlebar. His minimalist design is both aesthetically appealing and structurally efficient. (Ducati Website)
It was my first time to attend a Ducati Philippines event. I am definitely looking forward to future Ducati gigs! I left Quezon City at around 3PM and arrived at BGC around 3:30PM. Traffic along EDSA was moving almost at a glacial pace in Cubao. Splitting lanes was almost made impossible with all the cashew nut and cigarette vendors!
It was so nice to see so many Ducati and Ducatisti in one place!
The group rode around BGC after a short assembly. I mounted my GoPro camera on my helmet and recorded the motorcade. The sound of screeching tires, roaring engines and clacking of the Ducati dry clutch all together was like a symphony orchestra playing a motorcycle rhapsody.
Here’s a a short video clip of the assembly.
After short ride around BGC it was time for drinks and fellowship.
All lined up after the motorcade.
Awards for the day.
There was also a post-ride raffle but too bad I could not hang out for long. I saw Alpine Stars gloves and a Suomy helmet up for grabs.
Bugsy’s packed with bikers.
Met new friends who were very passionate about bikes. I hope I could get to go ride with them on the track or even on a breakfast trip, schedule permitting.
About
Raymund G. Martelino
“Self-assured and multi-talented, it is easy to see why he is often misunderstood. He succeeds where others falter. While most of us procrastinate, he gets his tasks done. And he makes sure he does them well. While most of us panic, he stays cool. And he finds means to calm our frantic souls. When most of us shut up, he speaks up. And he almost always makes perfect sense. For this he may strike some as over rational and void of emotions. But believe it or not, he isn’t. He cares deeply for those whom he considers friends, willing to go to great lengths for them. This may not always be apparent, though. After all, he is and will continue to be a mystery even to those who are closest to him. But then again it is precisely this that makes him the disarmingly endearing person that he really is. A shot at love, a picture perfect family, a passion for football and running, a gift for music, an eye for photography, a genuine concern for others, an above average intellect, an intact set of principles, a pure understanding of who he is and who he should be — some guys just got lucky.”
