Making a journey to distant lands, meeting new people and touring unknown roads is one of the greatest pleasures in life. Every curve in the road can reveal a new adventure, but riding through that curve on a performance motorcycle can be the best part of traveling............

2007 West Coast Madness, June 8-10

About 50 Ducatisti gathered in Torrey, Utah for a weekend of riding, chicanery and camaraderie. Torrey is a great homebase for touring Capitol Reef National Park, Bryce Canyon, the Manti-La Sal National Forest, Grand Staircase-Escanlante National Monument, Lake Powell, etc., etc. This annual event, organized by the Honorable Gary "Hobatz" Eagan, celebrated its 5th year by retuning to the location of the first "Reefer Madness". Motorcyclists from around North America rode in on ST2's, ST4's, Multistrada's, Monster's & the new 1098. Cheers to all who attended, kudos to the generous sponsors for the "schwag" and many thanks to Hobatz and Colonel Blood for their hard work. Click on WCM 2007 for images and the blog.
