the finest ever make by italian .....a class of its own...like lambroghini and ferrari
has been very famlous for street bike, but not off roader and tourer.....came one day...the engineer managed to put 4 bikes into one .....came birth of Multi-strada

the day came when the rubber hits the road...abroad in China

a 23 days of adventure covering 5,168 kilometres. The expedition is to prove the reliability of the Ducati Multistrada to survive the gruelling task demanded of the famed Italian brand. The trip will start from Tianjin, from which the convoy will travel to Shenyang, Harbin, Heilongjiang and ends at Inner Mongolia.

My aim is to correct the hurt and heal the wounded ...................protecting for many many years and trips to come
i have to face with soft paint...but not that soft over all.....plastic parts....mostly unpainted and clear shield ....
many many engine parts, comprises of allow and stainless steel

Hurdle
I did A 4 series in the morning for 10 hours and come another mini giant!!!!!!!!!bearing of tired body, aching muscle and tired eyes....(detailing a white car & strained eye sights)

Menu for the day!
1. wash and clay and QD and Dry
2. Paint correction - Compound by M101 With Cutting pad! step down and finish by polish by M205 with polishing pad
3. Protection - obviously coating
