Fancy a perve round the Ducati Museum but can't be arsed to move off the sofa? Then here's the answer! http://maps.gstatic.com/m/streetvie...,,0,0&gl=IT&t=m&z=17&cbll=44.515963,11.268778
I'm shit on computers, I got stuck in a corner, twice, so I've given up :frown: Can I have my admission fee back? (what I did see was good tho' )
This is very cool. There are copyright libraries in the UK (4 of them I think) which automatically get a copy of every book published in the UK. What you'd want is the Ducati equivalent. It would be a museum where they kept one example of every bike they make. Seeing all the pristine road models would be marvellous.
The British Library automatically gets a copy of every copyright book published in the UK. Five other libraries are entitled to get copies of all copyright books, if they want them.
It would be great. However nearly all the exhibits in the Ducati Museum are racing bikes or specials. There are hardly any road bikes at all, so that would be a different type of museum entirely. The Ferrari museum at Maranello, by contrast, is mainly road cars with a limited number of racing cars and engines.
Yes, they would need a whole extra museum. I always thought it was disappointing, in my last job, that all the magnificent consumer promotions we made (often with special glasses and various nice printed things) were never kept. So you never had any real brand history. That isn't strictly true, as there is a brand museum in Scotland for staff, but it's rare that you can wangle a trip to go and look at it. In the markets, things were just slung mostly. It's not good to think that Ducati hasn't got an original 750 ss, or a Paso, or any one of a number of interesting bikes they have released over the years. They should be buying up from collectors (if they can afford it).
