I sure will miss Dave and DucSea. It seems like they have something going on at least once a month and then this month there are a ton of events!! [thumbsup]

Scottsdale had a good opening event a couple years back [evil] and a few "by invite only" premiere events.
That's a nice gig!!! that's a good way to get people in. [thumbsup]

As in the Philippines? I was there this past Christmas visiting family and all they had was those weird motorcycle/scooter hybrids. Had a debate with my bro-in-law on what they should be classified as. We never settled it... [laugh] No Ducatis those, otherwise I would have sh!t my pants in excitement.

Wow, I really like the new keys... Cool photo too. And your keychains are WAY cooler than Pro Italia's...
thanks guys ! the key is similar to what many high end cars manufacturers are using.. Makes it harder to get past the lock and turn the tumblers.. One more step to keep the thief's from riding away on your Ducati.

Wow!!! Too bad you didn't get to see any ducatistas when you were here,in fact our group DUC( DUCATI UNLIMITED CLUB) is one of the most active ducati club out here,we usually go out on what we call city rides once a week at night and just hang out at diff local scenes in the manila area.Then on weekends we hit the twisties or out of town rides,next time around you're here PM me and let's hook up.Ciao
those weird motorcycle/scooter hybrids that you see are what we call underbone bikes.
I hope you guys have a better route for the test rides than Ace Motorsports in Concord did. Their route would have been just about right for testing a Goldwing or Victory Vision. Still, I was able to learn most of what I needed to about the bikes I rode.
Sounds like it will be a great time.

Dave, you are the man and your shop is fantastic. I've been their once, and now I work for BMW-Ducati in Colorado Springs. I think you've met Connie and Jack. They love you, always talking you up after your Denver meetings!
Sweet pic, keep up the great work...
