Jason Samaniego-Krant Parts/Service

I was born and raised in El Paso, Texas.  I spent a majority of my childhood and early teens in the deserts of west Texas, riding anything with two wheels on it.  I gained a lot of knowledge from spending time with my Grandfather, who taught me from a very young age to work with my hands while learning respect for hand tools, power tools, and machinery. 

Upon graduating from high school I spent a couple of years as a music recording engineer, only to find my way back to my one true passion, riding and wrenching motorcycles! I received formal technical training for nearly two years in Florida before returning to Texas in 2005 where I started my career here in Austin.  I have been working professionally in the motorcycle industry ever since.  

I ride every day.  I am proud to call Ducati Austin my home away from home!  I would love to help you out with whatever you are trying to achieve with your Ducati. From accessories to cosmetics to Ducati Performance modifications, I'll help get you make your Ducati one of a kind!

I was born in Milford ,MA, but quickly made my way to the South by the time I could remember anything. I spent my youth playing a variety of percussion and string instruments and all kinds of music, but by the time I was an adult my interest had turned to all things internally combustible. After my stint at tech school, I spent the next three-and-a-half years working on Italian road and race cars. I tinkered with my own Fiat and Alfa Romeos when I wasn't wrenching on everything from Abarth to Zagato. It was at this time I caught the DUCATI bug. My boss had a Darmah that got fired up once a year and the sound stirred my soul. Soon after I purchased my first of four Ducatis, a SuperSport. Since then, I have worked in motorcycle parts and service for a number of brands, but feel as though I have come home in working for Ducati. I ride a Sport 1000 every day that ice isn't falling out of the sky. Call me anytime to talk Ducatis!
