Day two of Ducati Xpeditions is in the bag and it didn’t disappoint with more amazing scenery and awesome roads to ride. Loving the DesertX Rally in this terrain.

More NZ goodness

Oh New Zealand you are so beautiful!

Ducati Xpeditions kicked off on Friday in Lake Tekapo and the weather couldn’t have better for adventure riding. A fleet of DesertX and a couple of Multistrada’s took on Danseys Pass and the mountains of Central Otago.

The views were absolutely stunning making it a challenge to stay focussed on the road. For some riders it was their first real experience off road and they were loving life!

The number of people this bloke in the middle has inspired to get out and explore the world on a motorcycle would be immeasurable.

Can you believe it was 20 years ago now that Charley Boorman and Ewan McGregor set off on a big mates adventure, riding around the world and filming it all for a TV series - “Long Way Round”

Partnering with a global brand like Ducati has given us some incredible experiences and opportunities.

Charlie recently completed a tour of Tasmania and southern Australia on a Mulitistrada V4 Rally. Nick had the opportunity to meet Charlie when he returned the bike, he is very easy to talk to and his passion for riding and travel is clear. His mate Billy Ward is a right character too!

Charlie and Ewan have just finished filming a 4th instalment of “Long Way Home” with a more classic vibe to it so look out for that on Apple TV in 2025!

Hands up who was inspired to ride by Long Way Round?

It’s only when you travel across the other side of the country that you realise how bloody big Australia is! 🛩️

Nick is over in Perth this weekend for the final Ducati DRE Adventure Academy for 2024.

The good folks at Ducati Perth had the trusty DesertX there waiting to be picked up. Damn impressive showroom too. It’s clear to see why they just won 2024 Asia Pacific dealer of the year with Ducati Australia & New Zealand.

Gotta love an Aussie success story!

Quad Lock have just inked a deal with Thule from Sweden to acquire Quad Lock brand for $500 mil!

We’ve been using QUAD LOCK products since about 2017 and absolutely love the simplicity and reliability of their system. Phones are such a ubiquitous part of lives now we would quite literally be lost without our phone clipped to the ‘bars on a Quad Lock mount.

Well done lads!

Thule will acquire Quad Lock from Quadrant Private Equity and co-founders Rob Ward and Chris Peters, building its brand offering.

TransTerra South Coast NSW kicked off yesterday from Batemans Bay heading for Merimbula. Great mix of tracks with overgrown tunnels through tree ferns, some skatey granite roads and heaps of erosion humps to launch off. The coastal views were pretty damn gorgeous too!
