ROAD TRIP
THE DUKE OF HAZARD
As I disembark fromthe Eurotunnel shu le train
in Calais to pick up my ride for the weekend, a
Ducati Multistrada, the first thing I notice about
the Duke is its stature. “Imposing” is not a word
generally applied to motorcycles, but it’s cer-
tainly apt here. Parked amid a li er of its peers,
the Multistrada stands a head above. Even with
a specially fi ed lowered seat, the bike is like a
penny-farthing compared with the others. I get
on and my feet barely reach the ground.
