California Dreamin'

By Sarah Lahalih, November 7, 2009 at 12:31 pm

Since winter is upon us in Chicago, I decided to head out to California for a little bit to extend my riding season. Instead of a red carpet, upon my arrival I was given a red 2010 Ducati Monster 696 to use while I am out here. Thanks to Michael Lock, President and CEO of Ducati North America for making that happen. So far the Monster is fun and nimble, and the perfect bike to navigate though LA traffic. I will be riding Pacific Coast Highway tomorrow and will be sure to write about it. Stay tuned.
