| 2014 multistrada problems: Going the Wrong Way CHRIS. DONALDSON, 2025-04-23 I was 21 and wanted to go 'somewhere' for 'some time' and, well, for 'something'! Driven by a desire to break free from his mediocre, middle-class existence and escape the Belfast (IRA) Troubles of the 70's, Chris Donaldson strikes out on his café racing Moto Guzzi on a cross-country road trip of self-discovery. But when the Iranian revolution stops the planned motorcycle trip to Australia, he switches gears and begins a 33-country, 50,000-mile odyssey across Europe, Asia, and the Americas including 10,000 miles on an ocean-going racing yacht. As Chris leaves the Belfast Troubles behind, he creates his own trouble. Along the way, there are formidable roadblocks: trigger-happy soldiers with AK-47s in war-torn Africa, getting bogged in the Sahara Desert, waves the size of Everest that threaten to sweep him overboard, hepatitis E in South America, and PTSD when he gets home. A 'coming of age' road trip like no other... Going the Wrong Wayis raw in its exposure, thoughtful in its deliberations, and revealing about the regimes and cultures it passes through. What an amazing adventure in the days before Google maps, mobile phones and social media. Chris encounters a near-death experience around almost every corner, and a cast of characters that will change his life forever. All told in an honest style with the best of Belfast humour. This is not just a solo travel memoir. It's a story about finding oneself in the midst of chaos, and about the transformative power of travel. As Chris navigates the challenges and joys of the open road, he learns important lessons about perseverance, friendship, and the importance of following your dreams.

| 2014 multistrada problems: Riding in the Zone Ken Condon, 2009-02-15 Riding motorcycles is fun but Ken Condon maintains there is a state of being beyond the simple pleasure of rolling down the road, this book was written to help other riders find that state of being. It's the experience of being physically and mentally present in the moment, where every sense is sharply attuned to the ride. Your mind becomes silent to the chatter of daily life and everyday problems seem to dissolve, you feel a deeper appreciation for life. Your body responds to this state of being with precise, fluid movements, you feel in balance, your muscles are relaxed, and it seems as though every input you make is an expression of mastery. This is the Zone. Condon has identified all the factors that affect entering the Zone and addresses each one individually, from the development of awareness and mental skills to mastering physical control of the motorcycle. At the end of each chapter are drills designed to transform the book's ideas into solid riding skills. A companion DVD is included to demonstrate each concept and technique. |

| 2014 multistrada problems: The Art of Ducati Ian Falloon, 2014-07-01 Celebrate more than 60 years of Italian motorcycle mastery. Over 60 years ago in Bologna, Italy, a small company called Ducati began manufacturing simple, inexpensive 50cc motorcycles--really no more than two-stroke-powered bicycles. Since then, Ducati has evolved into one of the most storied names in the motorcycling world, its lineup of beautiful machines revered for their technical excellence and extreme performance. In The Art of Ducati, Ducati expert Ian Falloon teams with renowned British photographer James Mann to present a gorgeously illustrated, wonderfully curated review of more than six decades of Ducati excitement. From the single-cylinder bikes of the 1950s and 1960s to the bevel-drive twins of the 1970s and early 1980s to the high-performance bikes of the 21st century, The Art of Ducati showcases a motorcycle marque that has never rested on its laurels. Ducati's style and technology have constantly evolved, engineering timeless classics like the 900SS, Darmah, Mike Hailwood Replica, 851, 916, Monster, and ST sports touring series, bikes that laid the foundation for today's cutting-edge models: the Panigale superbike, Multistrada adventure bike, all-new Monster, Hypermotard, and Diavel power cruiser. While there's no end in sight for Ducati's dominance, The Art of Ducati pays homage to their past six-plus decades of masterful motorcycle engineering. |

| 2014 multistrada problems: The Gendered Motorcycle Esperanza Miyake, 2018-06-14 What happens to gender at 120mph? Are Harley-Davidsons more masculine than Yamahas? The Gendered Motorcycle answers such questions through a critical examination of motorcycles in film, advertising and television. Whilst bikers and biker cultures have been explored previously, the motorcycle itself has remained largely under-theorised, especially in relation to gender. Esperanza Miyake reveals how representations of motorcycles can produce different gendered bodies, identities, spaces and practices. This interdisciplinary book offers new and critical ways to think about gender and motorcycles, and will interest scholars and students of gender, technology and visual cultures, as well as motorcycle industry practitioners and motorcycle enthusiasts. |
| 2014 multistrada problems: Ducati 999 Alan Cathcart, Marc Cook, 2003 How do you replace a legend? For Ducati, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer worshiped by racers and riders all over the world, the answer was to start from scratch. When the company decided to produce a successor to its immensely popular 916/996/998 series, it allowed designer Pierre Terblanche to create a completely new bike built from the inside out. This approach resulted in a radically styled motorcycle whose improved ergonomics offer greater comfort and control, with more agile handling at all speeds.Ducati also broke with tradition by allowing two of the worlds top motorcycling writers, Alan Cathcart and Marc Cook, to document the birth of the 999-from the earliest design ideas through final production. In an industry where product plans and manufacturing techniques are usually guarded like state secrets, Cathcart and Cook were given complete access to the designers, engineers, and technicians who worked to make the 999 a superbike sensation. |

| 2014 multistrada problems: The Good Boot David Schulman, 2019-12-16 Not long ago, my mom got into coloring books. She loves the patterns, and the peacefulness of bringing them to life with color. One day when she was low on designs to color, I drew her a few myself. They were not like the others. But she colored them in anyhow, and they became much more beautiful that way. My first designs were soon joined by more. Then it was as if they had called their friends, and suddenly there were a lot more -- curious creatures, succulent vegetables, long-legged waterbirds. Some with extravagant footwear.So for those who (like us) enjoy coloring books, but see the world a bit differently, I thought I'd make some of these designs available as lemonsipper coloring books. The designs are printed (mostly) on one side of each page, for a more satisfying experience if you are coloring with markers. This book -- The Good Boot -- is the first in the series. It includes 26 full-sized designs to color, with a few small surprises along the way. Take a look inside to see some of the designs for yourself. I hope you enjoy! -- David Schulman |
