RIP Claudio
Claudio Castiglioni the man behind 3 -CAGIVA, Ducati, MV Agusta- of the best Italian motorcycle brands passed away yesterday at the age of 64.
The man founded CAGIVA and with his brother took the company from manufacturing combination locks for briefcases to motorcycle manufacturing he then purchased Ducati and later on sold it to Texas Pacific Group. He recently bought back MV Augusta from Harley Davidson and was very happy about it.
Claudio was the man behind some the most successful models in the history of motorcycles , the 916, the Monster and the MV F4.
Friday Rides Thriller
Friday morning rides are very exciting when racing fellow riders, and the laugh we enjoy after the race is unbelievable …the above video was subtitled by one the riders, he did a good job in twisting the story to his advantage, but it describes what happened last Friday in a hilarious way.
Enjoy.

Love at first sight
By our friend and blog contributor Jerry.
That was the feeling when I first set foot in the modest showroom of MV Agusta KUWAIT, seeing the all new 2011 Brutale 1090RR setting in the corner looking for a new bike fanatic owner…..could it be you? i hope not, coz i like to have it for myself…if not lets hope the owner will be a friend and as a result i can take the bike for a spin and write more about this nice peace of art on wheels.
Yet another rumor
BMW to buy MV Agusta.
I wouldn’t be surprised, they are the only company with loads of cash while all other bike manufacturers are in the red.
A sneak peak on the 2010 MV Agusta F4
Nice…it still carry the essential Tamburini styling, the reveal will be onNov 10 at Eicma.
Is the Bestiale in production?
Based on the Brutale 910 engine and chassis the Bestiale was first introduced at Yacouba in Paris as a concept bike, a body kit followed later which can change your Brutale 910 into this beauty.
