ROAD NEWS DUCATI CROWNS CUSTOM RUMBLE WINNER D ucati has crowned the winner of its third Custom Rumble contest, with a stunning Scrambler 1100 FT build by Italian outfit CC Racing Garage. The jury of experts, composed by the actor Nicholas Hoult, Ducati Corse riders Chaz Davies and Andrea Dovizioso, the founder of BikeShed Dutch Van Someren and the Italian customiser of Officine Rossopuro Filippo Barbacane, came together to choose the winning custom motorcycle by voting among the five finalists. The winning bike customised by Marco Graziani of CC Racing Garage is part of the Bully category, the open category which was dedicated specifically to builds based upon the Scrambler Ducati 1100 without any restrictions on the type of bike or style of the final motorcycle. The Italian builder took his base in the form of a Scrambler Ducati 1100 Special of which he customised the colour, graphics, exhaust and seat. Rather than throwing away many of the factory Ducati styling cues, Graziani decided to keep the headlight, the rear end and the fuel tank similar to the original Ducati design as he considers them as the key elements of a Scrambler Ducati. CC Racing Garage’s Scrambler 1100 FT was a strong contender throughout the competition, attracting the highest number of votes even during the qualification phase when almost five thousand members of the global motorcycle community voting for it on Scramblerducati.com.
