Neptune doing the full monty in the centre of Bologna! Take a close look at Neptune's trident, do you recognise it? Its shape was acquired by a famous Italian marque.

Found these Jousting sticks at the Bologna Museo Medievale. What do you reckon they are worth?

:D Yup! 'Just one more sleep until I feast my eyes for the first time on a real F1 750! :D

I may even take time out to look at the other models.

WOW! What a great day! :D

My pilgrimage is complete, I have now toured the Ducati factory and Museo! Wow! I even have a 750 F1 T-Shirt :o

AND pictures! You should see the pictures I took. I now have the world's largest collection of photos of 750 F1 factory race bikes - from every angle I could squeeze my camera into. I even got a frown from Livio Lodi after I moved the Perspex stand from in front of one of the F1s ;) so I could get a clean pic!

Sadly it is not permitted to take photos from inside the factory, but you do get to see the entire assembly line. It is a great tour - watching as engines are assembled, then married to the frames and tested on the dyno. Cool!

Awesome photos. Keen to get as many photos of the Daytona bike in the background of the last photo. That's the paint work that I am using on my replica.

Great photos! Too often all we see is from the sides, and that leaves a lot out. MikeV
