DUCATI DIARIES; SCOTT COWDRY ’ S 899 PANIGALE

MEET SCOTT

This self-employed builder hasn’t been riding bikes as long as some, but what he lacks in experience, he makes up for in enthusiasm. A self-confessed Ducati fanboy, his 899 takes pride of place in his garage, but there is an R6 track bike in there too; an R6 that he plans on racing with No Limits Racing this season. Good luck Scott, we’ll see you there!

I’ve always found myself drawn to Ducatis. It’s not really intentional, but there is just something about them!

I remember seeing them when I was a kid and loving everything about them, it’s like they are the Ferrari of the bike world and that’s probably why I fell in love with them. They are just a bit more special than your run of the mill Japanese bike, I think.
