The soundtrack sounds like it is also from down under (Pete Murray if I’m not mistaken).

Here you will find Falappa’s factory Ducati 888, Haga’s 999 amongst the almost ubiquitous Fogarty, Bayliss superbikes. And then we move to the MotoGP machines. I am officially jealous....
YouTube Gems: Ducati 999 vs. Lamborghini Gallardo Fifth Gear is the poor relation to the Top Gear car show sensation, but ex-racer Tiff Needell sure can drive. Here he pitches the Lamborghini Gallardo around the track vs. Kevin Smith on a black Ducati 999. Who will win?...
