A Ducati as a pace bike?
« on: May 06, 2016, 08:54:14 PM »
Here's what happened last week in NYC at the Red Hook bicycle races when a Ducati was used as a pace bike... it stalled and wouldn't start! https://youtu.be/4aITv6RWLPU

Sounds like he got it running but didn't dare move after the first couple-three passed him.

What a mess. Some of the very strange vocalizations during the event were very curious.

Right - a bicycle race in Brooklyn during the day time would be a hell of a lot greater draw for its inherent entertainment increase.
