Greetings from il CapoI am sure you have noticed the last issue of Desmo Leanings is a little different. I am also sure you will notice that many of the bikes are owned by the same rider. Unfortunately, some folks who agreed to have their bike photographed either moved or were out of town when the photos needed to be taken. We had to resort to fill-in bikes. Actually the same model bike was used, just a different owner.

We plan on doing this again next year, and if you have a bike you would like to have considered, now is the time to start planning your photo shoot. Be careful to have a good background and not have a tree growing out of your gas tank. Also, make sure the lighting is even so that one side of the photo is not over or under exposed. Studio shots are fine, but Ducatis live to be ridden, so outside shots are great. Hopefully, the calendar will fill you with wonderful ideas for a nice photo shoot.

If you’d like your pride and joy photographed semi-professionally, feel free to contact Terry Wyse ([email protected]) and make arrangements to have him shoot your bike (Terry shot several of the bikes for this calendar). As long as you’re in the greater Charlotte area, he’d be happy to take the photo...and even if you’re outside the area or the state, he might be willing to travel to accomodate you if it fits his schedule.

It would be best to have any submissions to me by no later than March 1, 2011. Earlier is fine, but we need a lot of time to do the calendar—this one took about three months longer than planned.

If you would like additional copies, they are available for a postage and handling charge of $25 for up to ten. The reason for that is ten comfortably fit into a flat-rate Priority envelope.

For “full enjoyment” of the calendar, please remove the center spread so June’s photo and calendar can be viewed correctly.

Specifi cations subject to change without notice. ©2010 Arai Helmets.The Offi cial Helmet of the Daytona 200.

In the entire Arai Helmet Company, only 15 men make helmet shells.

only 15 men.Imagine the knowledge, commitment, expertise, and fanatical attention to detail it must take to earn that right.

only 15 men.You’d think there’d be hundreds of men and machines cranking out Arai shells for the world. But that’s not what a rider who buys an Arai expects. An Arai rider expects handmade care and attention, and that’s what you get. You can get mass-produced helmets anywhere. You get handmade ones here.

only 15 men.Understand that these 15 have to make every shell for all of Arai’s F-1, Indy car and NASCAR helmets, motorcycle racers and riders helmets for the whole planet. One at a time, by hand.

only 15 men.It gets even better. Arai’s obsession with excellence is so extreme that the composition of the resins used to bond the shell components can be changed several times in a single day - just to compensate for changes in ambient temperature, humidity and barometric pressure inside the factory that could affect the bonding properties. Yes, we’re serious. Because a rider must be able to trust what’s under Arai paint.

Finally, every single Arai shell is measured for thickness and weight to conform to Arai’s rigorous tolerances. (No easy random or batch testing around here.)

The result of all this is that you get to wear one of the ones that makes it.(Put a price on that.)

There’s a reason whywe own the word Superbike

Combining our MotoGP and World Superbike technology, the 1098 Ducati Superbike is the most powerful twin ever produced, with thehighest torque to weight ratio of any sport bike in the world. There’s a reason why we own the word Superbike.

The new 1098 boasts the latest technology throughout, including first of its kind on-board data acquisition USB port and radial mount Brembomonoblock brake calipers gripping 330mm rotors. At 381 lbs. dry, with 160 hp, 90 ft lbs. of torque, the broad and accessible power band ofa twin, the $14,995 Ducati 1098 speaks for itself. Find your local Ducati dealer at www.ducatiusa.com.

The brand new Hypermotard 1100EVO further enhances the original concept of ruling the road. A new super-light dry weight of 379lb and an increase of power to 95hp is the result of an intense program of redesign and refinement. With a riding position that ensures total control, the exceptionally slim and incredibly light Hypermotard is ready to dominate every inch of asphalt.
