Ducati Cape Town

Ducati Cape Town opened its doors at the popular V&A Waterfront on the 27th of February 2009. The Italian Style, passion and sophistication synonymous with Ducati are all on show.

Neil Myburgh is the lucky person who beat entrants from 75 countries in a competition staged by SanDisk, the world’s leading producers of memory cards.

For his effort Myburgh will ride off on a Ducati 1098 Superbike, which was handed to him at a special event on top of Table Mountain.

The Ducati Superbike winner is originally from Zimbabwe and the MD of a steel company in Johannesburg. On a recent visit to Zimbabwe he had left his flash drive with his mother, and on return needed one urgently for himself. He dashed to his nearest store, bought a SanDisk flash drive and entered the competition. Neil was overjoyed at the news of winning as he is an avid biker and enjoys the outdoors.
