TUMI+DUCATI LUGGAGE COLLECTION
TO CELEBRATE THE LAUNCH OF THE TUMI+DUCATI LUGGAGE
COLLECTION, THE DUCATI XEROX WORLD SUPERBIKE RIDERS TROY BAYLISS
AND LORENZO LANZI TO APPEAR AT HARRODS IN CENTRAL LONDON
The Ducati Xerox Team’s World Superbike riders Troy
Bayliss and Lorenzo Lanzi are to make a special one-off guest
appearance in the famous Harrods department store in Knightsbridge,
Central London on the morning of Thursday 25 May.
In an event organised in collaboration with Ducati Corse’s
luggage partner Tumi, the two riders will be present in the
store from 10 o’clock until 12 noon before they head
off for the fourth round of the World Superbike Championship,
which is taking place at the Silverstone circuit in Northamptonshire
on May 27-28.
Troy and Lorenzo will be greeted by representatives from
Harrods, Tumi and Xerox prior to the store opening and will
then pose for photographs in front of the Harrods shop window
where the luggage collection is on display. They will be escorted
by the store’s security guards through Harrods to the
Tumi concession in the luggage department to sign autographs
and stop for more photographs with fans, customers and employees.
Finally the riders will extract lucky names from a helmet
in a prize draw to see who wins a pillion ride on the Ducati
Xerox 2-Seater Experience at the Silverstone weekend as well
as some items from the high performance Tumi+Ducati luggage
collection.
World Superbike makes its first annual visit to the UK for
the Silverstone round, this year with Ducati Xerox rider Troy
Bayliss firmly in command of the championship. The 37 year-old
from Australia, WSBK champion with Ducati in 2001, has won
the last five races on his Xerox-backed Ducati 999 machine
and will be aiming to increase his winning streak on UK soil.
His 24 year-old team-mate Lorenzo Lanzi from Italy, is chasing
his first glory this year after two outstanding wins in 2005.
Tumi, the leading international brand of prestige travel,
business and lifestyle accessories recently signed a three-year
licensing agreement with the Italian manufacturer of high-performance
sports motorbikes. The exclusive Ducati Collection by Tumi
includes a range of eight racy black and Ducati red travel
and accessory bags that feature the company’s logos.
The collection, which includes wheeled luggage, backpacks
and messenger bags, is available through 500 Tumi retail stores
and Ducati’s network as well as top specialty and department
stores worldwide.
