Gear up, gearheads – the annual Ducati Roadshow is back, and it’s bigger, better, and bolder than ever! With a thrilling line-up of two-wheeled legends, this is hands down the best biker event in the country. How do we know? Because the show recently rolled into Leeds, and trust us, it wasn’t just the engines that brought the heat. Hog Roast Shipley was right there in the thick of the action, adding serious flavour to all the high-octane excitement!
Whether you’re a lifelong Ducati devotee (or just bike-curious), this full-throttle celebration had everyone buzzing. Riders got the rare chance to test ride icons like the Panigale V4, Streetfighter V4S, DesertX Discovery, and Multistrada V4S – basically, the rockstars of the motorcycle world. From high-speed thrills to off-road escapades, there was something for every kind of rider.
And the action didn’t stop once the kickstands were down. Inside the Ducati mobile unit, things got seriously competitive. A PlayStation 5 loaded with the latest MotoGP game saw guests battle it out on the virtual track for Ducati prizes – and, of course, eternal bragging rights.
But let’s be honest – no epic ride-out is complete without something delicious to sink your teeth into. And Hog Roast Shipley delivered the goods!
We rolled up and transformed the Ducati Leeds branch into the tastiest pit stop on the roadshow route. From the moment we fired up the grills, the mouth-watering aroma of sizzling meats and smoky marinades had bikers drifting over in packs – helmets off, appetites on.
Our menu was built for hungry road warriors. Juicy handmade British beef burgers, chef-crafted gourmet sausages, sticky BBQ-marinated ribs, and punchy Thai-spiced chicken kebabs kept the carnivores coming back for more.
And we didn’t forget our plant-powered pals. We dished up hearty veggie burgers and chargrilled veg skewers (halloumi optional, of course), all wrapped in warm flatbreads and served with zingy tzatziki and spicy chilli sauce. With crisp seasonal salads, gourmet slaw, and your choice of sweet potato or classic fries, it was a biker’s banquet in every sense.
From forks to forks (see what we did there?), it was a day full of smiles, sizzling grills, and shared stories – and Hog Roast Shipley was absolutely thrilled to be part of it.
Already counting down to next year? Hopefully we’ll see you there!
