Tuner, Team Owner and now Team Advisor Eraldo Ferracci (the little guy with white hair in the middle), just like the old days when he won the World Superbike Championship back in 1981 with Doug Polen - 32 years of still kicking ass in Superbike! As you know, it's a huge advantage to be pre season testing the Panigale V4RS in Spain with Danilo Petrucci and such a big crew and a factory bike. I expect these guys to steamroller the 2022 Moto America Championship this year. Good Luck!
MotoGP Race Winner Danilo Petrucci is Set to Move Stateside for 2022 Danilo Petrucci in MotoAmerica Superbike Debut for Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati New York
Sunnyvale, Calif., February 4, 2022 – Ducati North America is delighted to announce Danilo Petrucci has signed to race for the Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati New York outfit for the 2022 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship. Petrucci is a long-time member of the Ducatisti, having competed with the brand in MotoGP from 2015-2020, culminating in two glorious victories at the 2019 Italian and 2020 French Grand Prix races.
Petrucci’s return to the Ducati family will see the 31-year-old Italian make his Superbike debut on the Ducati Panigale V4 SBK machine built to factory specification by Ducati Corse in Italy. Universally popular, Petrucci will relocate to America to be close to the team’s base in Pennsylvania and will undoubtedly be a huge hit with the passionate MotoAmerica fans and Ducatisti across the United States.
Danilo Petrucci: “I’m so happy that I am coming back to race with Ducati, and I would like to give a special thank you to all the Ducati people who made this project possible,” Petrucci said. “I spoke about this project with Eraldo Ferracci (Advisor, Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati New York) at Circuit of The Americas last year and all the management starting with Claudio Domenicali, Gigi Dall’Igna, Paolo Ciabatti and Davide Tardozzi, and they were really happy to have me on board again. I want to continue to have fun and to keep riding my bike, so I have chosen this project to make a new experience on the human side. I will live in America, this is something new and exciting for me, so I am very curious and eager to start.”
Bobby Shek, Team Principal, Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati New York: “For 2022, we are coming back with another super-talented rider and ready to build on 2021,” Shek said. “We are thrilled we have Danilo on board and look forward to the challenge and opportunity.”

SNEAK PEAK! Shooting with Playboy Playmate Monica Simms at
Thuner Road Classic Cycles for the 2023 Iron & Lace Calendar
Los Angeles, January 22nd 2021 - Calendar photographer
Jim Gianatsis was excited to begin shooting this month the next Iron & Lace Calendar with returning Calendar Kitten and Playboy Playmate Monica Sims. The location was Thunder Road Classic Cycles, 7252 Santa Monica Boulevard, Hollywood, California, where store owner and builder Max was quite accommodating and gracious to arrange for us to shoot a number of his shop built custom bikes.
The bike pictured with Monica above is a Thunder Road built Zero Engineering Kit Bike featuring a new V-Twin
Evo engine dressed to look like an older Pan head. The bike was brought to the shoot by the proud new owner Peter Lewis.
Two other cool bikes we shot with Monica included a fully Blacked-out custom built Sportster Desert Scrambler, and the classic British BSA Scrambler custom shown here. Because the upcoming new 2023 FastDates.com Calenders are already at our Printer in China for July 2022 release, you will have see these again bikes with beautiful Monica in the next 2024 Iron & Lace Calendar. But in the meantime, pictures and a story of these bikes they just might show up in one of your favorite motorcycle magazines and in the Calendar Bike Garage on FastDates.com. - Jim Gianatsis, Editor

Fast Dates goes to World Ducati Week!! By Jim Gianatsis and Elia Mirashi

The Adriatic Coast and Misano World Circuit, Italy, July 20-22nd 2018 - What better way for a hard core Ducatista to spend their summer vacation than attending the 10th edition of World Ducati week for 2018 at Misano Adriatico on the north east coast of Italy at the famous race circuit Marco Simoncelli. This was my 3rd visit to a World Ducati event weekend which normally takes place every 2 years, having last attended when the event was less well known back in 2004 and then in 2012 when it had really grown. Needless to say, this year's 2018 event was even bigger and offered up more activities and sights than you could handle during the expanded 3 day weekend. Making it even more enjoyable, i always fly in a few days early from my home in Los Angeles to Ducati's home in nearby Bologna, Italy, to tour the factory, its museum, its factory retail store for bikes and official apparel, and now a cool American 1960's diner restaurant named Cafe America with a full menu of American burgers, diner food classics and drinks.
