Well - some new Ducati Scrambler testing going on = http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0QTS9JsNv1E
Talked to Woody at Welcome to Woodys Wheel Works and quite a few custom wheel options to get larger wheels like 18/19" and make them fit with a few mods and $$$'s of course.
One day might find a small Monster over here in China that has been crashed and cheaply available for a project bike.
Leaving the MTS as is but still try out the Conti TKC80's one day on the MTS....
Came across this whilst looking for other stuff
Alpina tubeless wire spoked wheels
Thanks for the info and web link, fully aware of the ALPINA wheels and a small group of recently launched BMW RnineT owners here in Shanghai contacted them for a group buy of tubeless wheels due to all the crap on the roads of the motherland...
Definitely checking the wheels once they get them into the country.
thanks for info, import not a problem on my side....Got some prices back from Alpina and Faba, direct, not through a distributor
Nice machine Forest...though dirt tires on it...hmmm...its like putting a granny into a school uniform, it works for some but well not the right thing to do.
I love to see when original ideas and great craftsmanship come together..but a coat of paint and off-road tires on a purpose built racer isn't either of those two...but some like it excentric ...
Tune in soon to see our incredible ride up the extremely challenging and dangerous Dalton Highway, with the most beautiful sights so far. I'm very excited to share the photos of that ride and the stories, as it was the most fun I have ever had riding a motorcycle as well as some of the most beautiful parts of the planet I have seen in my life.
Nice pics...I see you did the not-to-be-missed "Top of the World Highway"....definitely one of the 10 best rides ever in my book.
How did you like Emerald lake and Carcross desert from Skagway to Whitehorse?
Pricing as per source = http://rideapart.com/articles/2015-ducati-scrambler-unveiled-2014-intermotLooks like they'll go for around $10k in the US, I suppose that equates to ~$14k here ?
I've been back and looked at that website half a dozen times. I love the Urban Enduro, but I'm a sucker...
However it would pain me to get that beautiful air cooled v twin motor caked in mud, and the finned front horizontal cylinder is a grime magnet. Most of them will never see dirt though......
Some of the most fun I've had on a motorcycle and motor-vehicles in general has involved taking inappropriate machinery places I probably shouldn't have taken it....
More great pics via Cycleworld magazine....

Looking forward seeing one sitting on a Ducati dealership floor sometime in 2014 / 2015 and a test ride is definitely in the plans....
The article finishes by mentioning the bike will be built in Thailand as well as Italy and Brazil. Hopefully that would keeps costs reasonable here.
