Ride review and magazine article???

[Porkchop]

So recently my friend from college contacted me. He found out about my bike purchase and wanted to know about it. I extended him an offer, that if he came back down from upstate NY, I would throw him the keys on the Duc for a test ride. He is from Nepal and adventure touring is big there. He currently runs a blog called Yeti Adventures and is hoping to open a business for adventure touring. He also is a content submitter to 2 magazines, one in Canada, and the other in Nepal. He is also an avid photographer and puts some great shots on FB, so I knew I wanted that lens shooting my bike.

Fast forward to last month. We found a weekend with some great weather. He made a touring trip from NY to WV, KY, and into OH where he met me. His adventure to get here was quite something. It went like riding through pouring rain for 4 days, blowing his headlight fuse and having to ride at night without them, hitting a fox, having his phone fly off his bike, getting lost and almost getting raped by a burly mountain man. :lol: It was some story....

So we met up in downtown Columbus. Got some good "urban" shots before we hit some back country for the afternoon. Went back downtown for some drinks and on to the famous Grandview food truck block party. It was a great day, and turned up some good pictures. One picture made it to print in this month's Autolife Nepal magazine. His review on the Dodge Challenger R/T also made it to print this month, so he has a great feeling that the review on my Ducati will make it next month.... Fingers are crossed!!!

Here are a few highlights of our pictures. Me in white, him in black...
