Just left Ducati headquarters here in Bologna going through some things. I can say that they really do work over there, its really a small group compared to what ya may think but they make up for it with long hours . When I left in the evening it looked like most of the boss's were grabbing another gear and still hard it. It was very impressive for a Tuesday in November.

Anyway its on to Valencia in the morning for the last go round of the year, I am kinda bummed the season is over, but also looking forward to starting over fresh. We need to go out strong and start building for next year.

I love the Valencia track and just that race and atmosphere in general so lets cross the fingers for a solid result.

I got a few random photos for yall, one is from on the way home from Malaysia in Tokyo airport hanging out with Ivan Basso and his liquidgas cycling team. They're good guys and we had some pretty funny chit chat 'bout their racing and mine.

And had to throw in the McDonald's delivery scooter's. I dont see that everyday around the OWB!!! ciao Nicky

Hey,

Here are a few photos from my visit to Ducati. I came by yesterday to check in with the fellas and to see my new weapon for the 2010 racing season. There are a lot of changes that have gone on at Ducati in the last bit, but the one thing that never changes is the passion.

We also had a lil toast for Christmas with all the Ducati Corse guys, everybody was dressed in red but I didn’t see Santa! But I guess I could say Santa came early for me this year, because when I got to see my new bike it was kinda like Christmas morning, but looks like I will have to wait to till February before I get to take my new toy out and play with it. Well, anyway, I better go, we are off to the wind tunnel later today to find some top speed and then to India for the opening of a new Ducati store, but it’s all good because then I get to go home and spend Christmas with my family….

Happy Holidays guys!
Ciao, NH

grazie!



spero che riesca a passare un buon natale!

Well, I'm stuck in Chicago airport on my way home from India thanks to some great weather. When I was going thru my phone I saw a few photos that I wanted to share with you guys.

They pretty random but here's the run down:

My favorite one is from when I was at Ducati headquarters last wk checking in with all the crew and checking out my 2010 weapon. Watching them test engines on the dyno was cool. I'm happy to report they're doing their home work.

Also had a few pictures from when me, my bro Rog and a few of our boys went to watch the university of Kentucky basketball game. They beat north Carolina in a thriller that went right down to the buzzer in a instant classic for sure. Freshman John Wall took over, he is a bad dude!!!

Also got a picture from me and all the fellas at one of my best friend's wedding from a few wks ago which you could also could say was a instant classic!!

HAHA And last some pretty interesting pictures from my latest trip to India where we launched a new Ductai dealership. It was my first time there, prob wouldn't go back anytime soon on my own time, but wow didIi get to see a few things I cant say I see everyday and meet some nice people.

The biggest thing was seeing cow's in the middle of the road, yes I said cow's in the middle of the road in the middle of the city. Turns out there some people actually worship these cow's and the locals told me you better off to hit a person in the road then a cow!!! No wonder they didn't let me drive!!!

Last but not least there is a photo of me training in the dirt
