 Michael "Bull" Ables Parts & Service Manager
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!

 Anita Thomas Parts & Accessories
I was born and raised in beautiful southern California where I began my love for motorcycles. At the age of 6 I was given my first taste of motorcycling and started out on a Honda ATC 70 that my brother modified from a thumb throttle to a twist throttle. After terrorizing the neighbors on my ATC 70 I graduated to a Honda CR80. I didn't get in to road riding seriously until about 3 years ago when my sister took me on my very first long distance road trip in the south island of New Zealand. I took the Basic Rider Course prior to my departure from the states and practiced all my newly acquired road skills in the 10 days of our trip. When I returned to the States I was officially obsessed. With a little help from Jon Elliott, Total Rider, I became an MSF certified Instructor/Rider Coach and became involved in as many motorcycle activities as I could. I was introduced to track days and was determined to hone in my skills and take that love for horsepower to the next level. In February of 2009 I attended a Lone Star Track days race school and received my CMRA Race License. Deputy Chris Gray and I started Centurion Motorsports and competed regionally and nationally in CMRA and WERA events. With a barrowed bike and a lot of help from friends I finished 24th overall in the Superstock C class, 23rd overall in the Superbike C class in the CMRA. I also attended the Michelin Invitational Nationals and placed 10th overall in the women’s class.
Between teaching MSF Classes and racing I have been involved with Ducati Austin for the last two years. I was drawn in by the incredible allure of Ducati precision and craftsmanship. I started by doing special events and promotions and recently started working part time behind the Parts counter. I hope to help Ducati Austin grow and continue to provide unmatched service to all of our loyal customers
