FEATURE: 2012 Ducati Riding Academy

Learning how to ride, Ducati style. The 2012 Ducati Riding Academy is accepting enrollment.
Let’s see, what would be more exhilarating than taking classes in Italy for the 2012 Ducati Riding Academy?
We’ve come up with a few suggestions:
- Hooking up with a Victoria’s Secret supermodel
- Driving a 599 Ferrari GTO in Modena
- Skydiving (naked)
- Trying to put a great white shark to sleep by grabbing its nose
- Hooking up with 2 Victoria’s Secret supermodels at the same time
Yeah, that should be comparable.
According to the most recent press release from Ducati for their 2012 Ducati Riding Academy:
Ducati now opens subscription for the 2012 Ducati Riding Experience (DRE) events, the excellent riding courses suitable for all levels, from absolute beginner to race track specialist. Held at some of Italy’s most famous circuits and offering the expertise of highly qualified professional instructors, the courses provide a complete fleet of Ducatis on which to perfect riding skills or simply take the very first steps into motorcycling in complete safety.
2011 saw the introduction of the Troy Bayliss Academy and, by overwhelming demand, the 3-times World Champion and global racing icon returns for 2012 for his advanced track courses aboard the brand new 1199 Panigale S. Ducati’s incredible new Superbike, which scooped the “Most Beautiful Bike of Show” award when it was unveiled at the Milan show in November, is now awaited around the world and its use in both the DRE Master Racing course and the Troy Bayliss Academy means that DRE is sure to be sold out fast.
Troy Bayliss, Ducati 1199 Panigale S, Italy. A threesome which is only a close second to the aforementioned Victoria’s Secret fantasy.

Think you've got the stones to train with Troy Bayliss? Sign up for the 2012 Ducati Riding Academy and find out.
So you ready to do this?!?!?!
