Since Giacomo came into this world I’ve had little free time or riding time more to the point, so I was delighted to hear from Mr Gabriele Mazzarolo the owner of Alpinestars who had got the Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 to ride and a few hours spare on Sunday morning to test, ride and play on it.
The timing was perfect as I was just about to pick up the Ducati Diavel for my next video, a few hours of riding the Canyons would be a great way of getting to know this distinct looking beast while going out riding with Gabriele is always a joy as he just loves his motorcycles, rides great and has lots and lots of road riding experience from all over the world.
Before most of LA had got moving I was already at Alpinestars HQ, soon after Gabriele and I were out on different makes of Italian bikes and riding the relatively quiet LA roads, heading North to Malibu where we’d then take PCH and soon after turn off on one of the many canyon roads, which always seem to provide the rider with non-stop corners, unpredictable road surfaces, stunning views and are just a thrill to ride on whether you are going up or down on a motorcycle....more
