120,000 people gathering from all over the world for a single brand is already culture in itself. That heat at WDW goes way beyond any talk of specs. Including the fact that the Daijiro Kato Street name still remains, it really feels like Ducati is loved 'story and all.' I bet standing in that atmosphere in person would hit you right in the chest.

Day after day of traffic jams must be rough on the local residents though...

A brand pulling in 120,000 people for its 100th anniversary, the passion behind it is just insane.

Even with all those days of gridlock, it really has that pilgrimage feel, want to go at least once.

Factoring in travel costs to get there, this is a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage.

A street named after Daijiro Kato quietly gets to me.

Happy that Ducati still remembers Daijiro, with the 'Daijiro Avenue' and all.

120,000 people is basically a full-blown festival, wish I could've gone...
