This week’s custom cocktail includes a Looney Tunes-themed Ducati, a no-holds-barred BMW R18 and a fine-tuned Triumph Scrambler 1200. Plus details of Europe’s first all-electric bike festival.

Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled by MotoCorsa If anyone’s going to send us a Looney Tunes-themed Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled to feature, it’s the Ducati dealership that gave us the Manigale calendar.
