What is the best thing that you like about your ride?
NOTHING sounds like a Ducati. No Harley, No Honda (insert any Japanese bike) even comes close. The engine, and clutch make a unique sound.

Do you like to take road trips on your bike? Describe your favorite road trip -- where did you go? What did you do?
Yes, every year I ride to Monterey, Calif for the MotoGp at Laguna Seca. It's a great time and there are TONS of great looking guys when you get there. The ride up Hwy 1 is fabulous once you get above Morro Bay, and the scenery is spectacular all the way up to Carmel. I usually spend 5-6 days on this trip with friends from the club. We rent a house and have a chef now who comes with us (he is getting a Ducati now!) to cook. Cute guys, fast bikes, great food and wine (but not when we ride)...what could be better?

What is the best thing that you like about your ride?
I like the fact that if I'm on the line with someone else thats trying to either get in my lane, beat me to the next light, or even just show off, my ride will dust them. Not to mention that its comfortable enough for the speedy take-offs and the smooth enough for long rides.

It's great to drive in the country, down the old two-lane roads. A night drive in the summer is great to clear your thoughts, also.

Do you like to take road trips in your car? Describe your favorite road trip -- where did you go? What did you do?
Yes, a couple of friends and I went for a trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway through North Carolina. We stopped and looked at the scenery, and the curvey nature of the parkway made for a fun filled ride. The friends still talk about how much fun it was to speed through there, and how many times they were surprised that we didn't end up flying off of a cliff. My lil Mazda surprised them. :)

What is the best thing that you like about your ride?
I've always desired the sophistication, the handling, cabin quality and design of European cars. I think the subtle sensibility combined with a bold look reflects my personality a great deal.

Do you like to take road trips in your car? Describe your favorite road trip -- where did you go? What did you do?
I've been on many road trips with it. I enjoy driving up to Toronto with it, especially. It's a nice 9 to 10 hour drive from suburban Chicago. With my CDs or Siruis radio cranking, a good road trip is like a form of meditation.

MY RIDE: 1956 Packard Executive PS/PB/AT/WWW

The Executive model was introduced in March of 1956. It was the last new model from Packard Motors of Detroit. The Packard plant closed down forever on June 16th of that year. This car was made within a few weeks of that closing.

Packard had bought Studebaker in 1954 and moved all operations to South Bend in the summer of 1956. However those cars were essentially Studebakers with more trim. So this car can be considered as one of the very last Packards produced.

This beautiful two door hardtop glistens' with Turquoise and White, (the most favorite colors of the fifties). I believe the car was restored in 1998 with a basecoat/clear coat finish. The interior looks like new. The chrome is as smooth and as bright as the day she left the factory.

Recently took her to Australia for a 60's Rock 'n Roll and car festival; that's a day boat trip for the car and 4 hours for me in the plane. The roads in Oz are much wider and more suited to big American cars than the roads her in NZ.
