Sadly, Rino Caracchi the 'C' of NCR has passed away this morning. Another legendary figure, who will be missed. Lou

Rinos contribution to Ducati history and survival can’t be overstated. Just as important to me is how gracious and humble he stayed. His nickname for Lou "la Montagna” was endearing. It seemed Rino was just as exited to meet the “the mountain” as Lou to meet him. Many interesting stories told that weekend from the quiet one.
