2019-May-CDDC-Newsletter-.Pdf Keep up to date at www.canberradistrictducaticlub.org.au - Tipping Comp - Upcoming Events - Rally Report from Autumn Leaf - Boorowa Ride Report - Constitution Update Ciao Members, I would like to start with the constitution, and thank everybody who came along to not only the meeting but also to vote. It passed almost unanimously (excepting one peanut who decided to vote no after not reading it). This is a good thing for the club bringing it into line with the model rules and protecting the club and its members. Recently nine club members attended the autumn leaf rally as part of a fundraising and catering occasion. Taso has said that after all expenses that there was a profit to the club of $2,100.- which will really help the club with paying for the essential items like insurance and getting some nice bits in too, like new stock for regalia or otherwise. Without the volunteer help, none of that fundraising would be possible. Thanks again to those who helped. PO BOX 1282 CANBERRA CITY ACT 2601 www.canberradistrictducaticlub.org.au Still plenty of events in the calendar. We have asked Desmo Harmonic if they would put a Sunday aside to help the club out and run a service day. DOCNSW’s Italian bike swap meet is on, and some great rides too over the next month. Michael << VP Dribble #6 >> G’day to the great unwashed, what an awesome month we have had. OK, Auto Italia was last month but being on the cusp we didn’t get to talk about it much. I reckon the venue is a much better location than last years, but then again anything is better than that paddock. Being the first time at EPIC there were some teething issues but, on the whole, it was a good turnout for both the bikes and cars. A big congratulations to Grant Fuller for getting best in show for his only just finished latest build. Also a big thank you to all the volunteers for their time and efforts in making our display so good. You have to wonder though, there were three trophies available for scooters and only two scooters turned up and still our esteemed ex editor still managed to go home without a trophy, I reckon it was pay back for forgetting to adjust is clocks for the end of daylight saving which saw him sitting at EPIC from around 0430hr in the morning., silly bugga. Another big one for the club was the Autumn Leaf catering effort, but you will have to read my story on that one further in the newsletter. Ciao for now.

Thank you! ☺ PO BOX 1282 CANBERRA CITY ACT 2601 www.canberradistrictducaticlub.org.au Magnificent 7" has to wait another year Something for everyone at COTA! -Suzuki wins for the first time since Silverstone three years ago, -Rossi fans start talking about another championship title, -Miller stakes his claim for the 2020 factory ride and -Dovi comes out leading the Championship. Everyone has Marquez to thank for an exceptional error, crashing out when the race was again his to lose, meaning none of the three 2019 Hondas finished the race. But for Ducati fans, it was all about Dovi and Miller. After a horrendous qualifying for Dovi, he made amends on the first lap getting up to eighth after the first corner (thanks to Gino's very effective "tyre cooler") and while managing to pick up a few spots afterward, attrition did the job leaving him in fourth at the end to lead the Championship. No doubt he still can't believe is luck. Miller also rode a fine race, despite him telling reporters about 6th gear, lock to lock tank slappers at 350kph on the back straight! How's this for scary? He told reporters later that his "feet came off the pegs and when I got to the end of the straight the brakes were gone.

  • Ducati: in Pursuit of Magic (A)
    DG-1507-E Rev. 2/2017 Ducati: In Pursuit of Magic (A) On the first business day of January 2006, Federico Minoli pulled up and parked his Ducati Multistrada motorcycle in front of the Ducati headquarters in Bologna, Italy. As he looked up at the complex, which housed offices, the assembly factory and the Ducati museum, he reflected back on the company’s history. 2006 would mark several anniversaries: 80 years since Ducati was established to produce electronic radio equipment; 60 years since Ducati had been producing motorcycles; and ten years since Minoli had become the company’s CEO. Minoli joined the then near bankrupt Ducati in 1996, and led its turnaround by creating the “World of Ducati,” a world that involved superior engineering, Italian heritage, slick design and an undeniable attraction for racing enthusiasts to “join the tribe” and become “Ducatisti.” See the video: Ducati’s advertising (length: 1’50”) Revenues moved from €195 million to €380 million from 1996 to 2000. EBITDA improved from a loss to €60 million in the same period. However, in the five subsequent years, business results stalled: revenues fell 2.3% on a compound annual growth rate from 2000 to 2005, and EBITDA fell to -€273,000 at the close of 2005. In late 2005, an agreement was signed by shareholder Texas Pacific Group to sell its 30% stake in Ducati to InvestIndustrial Holdings SA and a syndicate of other investors, with the understanding that Ducati would pursue a capital increase of €80 million. Minoli was certain that the new shareholders would demand certain changes to cut costs and get the company’s growth back on track.
