My dad is one of the owners of Pro Italia, a motorcycle shop in LA that specializes in Ducatis (basically the Ferraris of the motorcycle world). For those of you who watch Entourage, the shop was where Vince bought four motorcycles for himself and his boys. Last year, if you recall, I worked the Cafe Desmo event for Pro Italia (and met Steve Jones, who allegedly asked my father last week how I was doing, ahem ahem); I’m planning on going back this August to help out again.
Anyway, my dad just told me that Pro Italia is raffling off a Ducati Desmosedici D16RR (pictured above) valued at $72,500 (!) to benefit the Los Feliz Charter School for the Arts (a parent-initiated, non-profit, public elementary school located in Los Angeles), so I thought I’d share. If motorcycles are your thing, news doesn’t get more exciting than this. Tickets are just $40, and no more than 2,500 tickets will be issued.
