Ducati Monster Forum

Join the good folks at Munroe Motors on Saturday, December 13th for cafe and biscotti in the morning while Dave Moss from Catalyst Reaction gives his suspension seminar, a great opportunity to learn what your bike is doing beneath you whether on the street or race track.
 
If you can't come for breakfast, come for lunch and drinks provided by local favorite Beretta at 12:30pm.
 
Ducati gear will be raffled every hour with the final raffle for a leather Ducati Historical jacket at 3 pm!!
 
Pre-register for the raffle at www.munroemotors.com (http://www.munroemotors.com), but you must be present to win.
 
As always, demo rides will be available throughout the day, schedule and weather permitting. We look forward to seeing you!
 
A presto.

For those of you who haven't been there, 15th and Valencia looks nothing like Italy ;D

not true amico ... there is one block in milan that kind of looks like munroe's block ... minus the crackheads and ho's. :o

Both locations feature gentlemen enjoying a sip of wine in the great outdoors.

Except our wine is fortified. In your face, Italy!

For those of you who haven't had a chance to work with Dave, he's excellent.  I haven't heard his seminar before, but he's an amazing resource at the track.

and our wine comes in a brown bag liner.  [wine]

...and with a name like Ripple(TM) it's GOT to be good.

come on dq ... you KNOW that all good wine is packaged in a box, and ripple is NOT one of those. [thumbsup]

I think a screw-top plastic bottle is far superior to packaging in a box.

I love Beretta!  And Eric Johnson, Tequila Guru and Mixologist there is awesome (and rides an S4R!)  [bow_down]
In for the seminar and most definitely Beretta afterwards!  Thanks Johnc!  [thumbsup]

+1 and his seminar is excellent too. [thumbsup]

so, will there be a bunch of mobsters @ the event?  perhaps a set time to ride over and hang out?

would be cool to meet some of you who i have not had the pleasure of meeting yet. (well, cool for me ... perhaps not so much for you  [roll] )

John, would you know what time Dave's seminar starts? 
Looking forward to finally meeting you - I think someone pointed you out to me at Tigre's pit at the AMA race he participated in...
Let me know what time and where!  [thumbsup]

Super +1  [bow_down]

Calamari Pimp Daddy is coming to SF!!!! Yeah!  ;D ;D :-*

Ahhh, Munroe's (where I got my monster). Too bad I am out of town. I seem to be missing everything these days!  :'(

they are still working out details for seminars ... at moment, they are looking at 10am and 1pm for the seminars.

a presto,
johnc

ciao again ... this just in from matt @ munroe's:

It looks like we'll have two sessions of Dave Moss... A morning seminar geared more towards street/everyday setup at 10AM and another more sport/track setup seminar at 2PM.  Both of these will be classroom style with a video presentation and examples on current Ducati models.  Dave will also be hanging around in between to set people's bikes for $20 per setup.

ciao amici -

who is planning on attending, and @ what time? 

would be cool to see the mobsters @ this event.

a presto,
johnc

Me and a friend (Meltz) will be there for the 10am session..

In for the 10 am seminar!  [popcorn]

I'm hoping to make it to the 10 am seminar.

i'll be at the 10am seminar... unless i stay out too late on friday.    [drink]

bt

so it's starting to look like a 10am mobster meeting @ the event ... cool. 

i will adjust my schedule accordingly, to be able to attend.

a presto,
johnc

I plan to swing by while I will be in city tomorrow .

You lucky __*^%$#__. You won a raffle.

Good seeing you guys.

I showed and was hoping to see some DMF signage or something so I could have met you guys. I didn't even win a Duc mug, but my friend did. He doesn't even have a Duc, but I'm glad he got something.

SEE! I told you guys we should wear our MOB t-shirts where ever we go. [cheeky]

sfarchie, sorry we missed you. Don't feel bad I tried for 2 raffles and got zip. I don't know who it was who won the leathers but in my narrow-minded self obsessed view she didn't look like she deserved them either.  ???  Of course, everyone who has nicer gear doesn't deserve it right?  [laugh]

[plug ahead]  [moto]
If you want to sip from a Ducati mug they serve an exquisite cappuccino in them at MOTOJAVA (http://www.motojava.com/) located at the corner of 9th st and Bryant.
One of us is there like a fixture and others show up from time to time as well. Look for Duc's out front.  [coffee]

Hey there, I was there at 10 am and then had my suspension tweaked by Dave Moss.  It does feel like I have a new bike! :)
Sorry, SFArchie, I'm afraid that I don't know what you look like and I also couldn't find johnc...maybe we could make DMF baseball caps to help identify ourselves?  [cheeky] (ummm, DTM???)

i dropped by @ about 12:30 and caught some of the cool food and drinks being served. looked to be packed when i was there.

left to ride home just as the sky opened up ... got soaked the whole way  :o

Good to see everyone there , raffle help me have what I need for and suspension seminar was a great adding  knowledge

Very informative session.. My forks were way too stiff (which explains my stoppie problem). Much improved now.


I never realized that my bike was so holiday festive, did you?

I am thinking of putting it in a mall and letting hot chicks sit on it... I wont even charge for the pictures.  [beer]

So to not scare anyone, but this is pretty close to how I look.

And thanks, Desmostro for the info on where to get the cappucino!
