Viva Italia!

This site is completely non-commercial. I only mention what I like and, when it comes to hardware, mostly use. But it would be churlish to deny one of the classic motorbike shops in America its due. That store, Munroe Motors on Valencia Street in San Francisco, has been around for over fifty years which says all you need to know. Actually, there’s just one more thing, as Inspector Columbo might say.

G1, 29mm, 1/640, f/6.3, ISO 100

Is it the cavernous interior, the near total lack of lighting or the whispered tones of the worshippers inside, or is it simply the overpowering and glorious smell of oil and grease as you enter?

You see, Munroe Motors sells and repairs Ducatis. A Ducati is to motorcycles what a Ferrrari is to cars and Sophia Loren is to women. No more need be said.

My ride is a tad more staid, but in keeping with my modest skills.

BUGR indeed!
