World travelers from the 1950s…two well-worn Ducati 175s.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The story, Tempting Fate: Around the World on Ducati 175 Tourismos<\/a> , is about two young Italians (Leopoldo Tartarini and Giorgio Monetti) who went around the world on Ducati 175cc motorcycles in the early 1950s.\u00a0 The tale appealed to me immediately because it involved a long journey on small displacement motorcycles, and the writing and the photography sealed the deal (Hamish Cooper penned the story and Phil Aynsley did the photography).\u00a0 The details made it come alive, like this one: Ducati actually issued these guys handguns as part of their kit (Steve Seidner, are you getting my drift here?).\u00a0 And more.\u00a0 Lots more.\u00a0 Trust me on this:\u00a0 You’ll enjoy this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n
