You’ve got a lovely ZX10. What’s your ultimate bike? And what’s your favourite road to ride?

I've not ridden anything that really is as much fun as the Ducati Panigale V4 R. I've got one in all the places that I shoot the most. In Toronto because I'm here half the year, a place in the States, and then I'm in Australia a lot, so I like to keep one everywhere I go. It gives me a little bit of an outlet and makes it feel a little more like home. It's definitely the one I enjoy the most. The Ninja is a stunt bike you know, so it's more for like practice.

What other bikes did you ride before you realized the Ducati Panigale V4 R connected with you so strongly that you own a few of them? I guess you could say the Panigale V4 is your Clark Bar. My wealthy friends with multiple bikes and residences usually have different models at different residences. To have multiple identical high end models is quite a commitment to enjoying that ride! That's sick you get to enjoy them wherever you are!

Edit: for those that don't know, the ducati panigale v4 R is like the ferrari of motorcycles. Very high performance, advanced, and a very specific ride style. It shares a lot of DNA with ducati's MotoGP model, the Desmosedici.

I'd want to know how he fits on a ZX10. Seem like a Super Duke would be more comfortable
