Audi 2015 Annual Report Download - page 121

Everything in my life revolves around motorcycles – and has for
over  years. From the very fi rst time I rode a motorcycle
I just knew it was the thing for me. A lot has happened since
then. I set up a motorcycle school in Chicago, trained soldiers
on two wheels for the American military and taught celebrities
and famous sportspeople how to ride a motorcycle. I’m now
living in Los Angeles, where I do a lot of stunt work for the major
Hollywood fi lm productions and TV.
Everyone is always talking about the feeling of freedom that
we bikers have when we’re riding. But to be honest, it’s much
more than just a feeling. It’s my attitude toward life. You’re
right up close to your environment. You’ve got to be fully fo-
cused all the time – because you never know what’s around the
next corner. Nowhere are the boundaries between risk, sheer
happiness and absolute freedom closer to each other than on a
motorcycle. But you can only ride at your best if you’re at one
with your machine.
The Ducati Scrambler makes it so easy for you because it’s just
the right size for most riders to cope with. But that’s not the
only reason why I’m a Scrambler fan. Virtually all motorcycle
riders that I know are just like me, out-and-out individual-
ists. And the Ducati Scrambler with its timeless post-heritage
design o ers the perfect base for customizing it exactly the
way you want it.
But how does it feel, this absolute freedom ? It’s something
you can’t describe. You need to experience it. That’s why I’m
going to take you on a trip with me to visit my very own free-
dom hotspots. Just you, me and the Ducati Scrambler Icon.
Let’s kick o at my favorite café. The perfect place to meet up
with friends for a cappuccino or a smoothie before we head o
on a motorcycle tour. It’s in the Arts District, one of the rough-
er but also one of the most popular districts of Los Angeles.
The blend of industrial architecture and creative scene simply
puts you in a good mood.
