Stopped over to visit the old spot(DML) and saw this post by sailor22 not sure if he is on here but some really nice photos of Ducati Island from Daytona.

yep that worked

I was there, mostly stayed in the CDC booth. There were some cool bikes. Someone should have donated sandwiches to the models. The Shift Tech bikes were sick. The sound contest was lame, after the events of the day before.
Thanks for the fix. sorry about that.
Mmm... there are some tight, exposed bodies and sexy curves in those pics... ;) ;)
The women aren't that bad either...
Nice photography work my friend
But I think I'm going to [puke]
when did motorcycling become about fashion shows?

[laugh] When I first walked into the area, I turned to my wife and said that someone needs to feed those poor girls some twinkies fast.
It takes less than five seconds to comment on Harley guys branded head to toe in HD gear to see all those people soaked in Duc. I know the factory people but the civilians come on over the top. I refuse to walk out of the house with a Duc hat and t-shirt they do not sponsor me.............yet ( i wish )
If you're going to put a flag on your bike, make sure it's on right.
The italian flag is Green-White-Red.

The Ferrari finally looks right with a proper set of slicks. [thumbsup]
The fashion show seems kind of lame. Sammiches are definitely in order!

yup, just a mockup.
it's noticeable on the "regular" sized pic, but if you view the original, you can see the faux-carbon fiber all over the place.
Carbon fibber. Sons of pregnant doges.

Fashion show my @ss. Just an excuse parade around some scantily clad young ladies. And, well, I for one am perfectly O.K. with that. [beer] Just wish someone would have bothered to feed the models.

When has motorcycling ever not been about projecting an image? That, is fashion.
Does your gear match? If so, how dare you.

So...
the Italian flag is displayed proudly on a flagpole with the breeze holding the flag out straight from the pole.
The pole is on your left...as is the green.
You walk around to the other side so the pole is on your right.
Where is the green?
It's just a question. ;D

Yeah, you made that pretty clear in your previous post ;)
Nice pics. You got 2 great shots of my S4R in the sound off. Being the only monster in the final, I think I got railroaded since the guy from Italy was in love with the 1098s. Oh well it was a lot of fun!!

You should have made it down to the dyno shootout. There were no 4V Monsters (WTF?) so you would have taken it, plus judging based on reving while in neutral is lame compared to the sound under load.

at LDD a few years ago, i was the loan monster (s4r w/ arrows) in the finals against two superbikes. i came in 3rd, but i know i sounded better than at least one of 'em.
QuoteDoes your gear match? If so, how dare you.
Hmph, my gear doesn't match so I dare - and I buy a bike for the fun and thrill it is capable of delivering me, never as a fashion statement.
OK I have a few bikes that I lusted after as a kid and no longer perform up to today's bikes...
But none of this will convince me that all motorcycling has whittled down to merely a projection of taste.
Obviously the cruiser/HD segment has and I want no part of that crap either.
You can keep the gay-ass fashion shows, if I want to see strange titties I'll go the strip club.
If Ducati wants to be the Calvin Klein of motorcycles I want no part of it.
So eat [bacon]

I never got the fashion show thing either. next year we're gonna step up the CDC Dyno Shootout and have a portable stripper stage for entertainment purposes while people are waiting to get on the dyno.

I wanted to, just could not get over there on Thursday. But sign me up for next year!!
Next year will be sick. This was the first year and we had a great turn out. If we can get a larger area and some more stuff to keep people entertained while they wait, we should be able to get around 50 bikes.

That's the second person that gets that warning. Ducati.net is Vicki Smith's website. Vicki coordinates all DOC events. I'll let her know that some people are getting this error.

Most likely they are displaying ads that inject malicious software... unless the server itself has been compromised by hackers... :o
Thank you sooo much for posting up the pictures.
I felt like i really missed out since i had to leave on Thursday :( my ride couldn't stay any longer..
I had my s2r 1k monster parked over there all by herself most of the day on WED. and it was totally dead.
about 4 other bikes parked over there but.. not next to me.. i was all alone. till the guy who rode from VA on his 1098 showed up and started talking to me in the Fashion Tent.. I think he liked my backpack!
But i did run into some of the desmodromi crew from FL in line to get a corn dog..
they weren't all that nice to me :(
guess they didn't see my Ducati wrist band? I tried to compliment their matching club gear.. but oh well. [bang]
even being in the club i'm kinda not part of the club. lmao
maybe i shoulda "hooked up" with people on here earlier.. then they'd have known i existed. haa haa haa.
anyway.. i LOVE the new pearl white Monster.. GIMME!!

I rode a Guzzi over and no one beat me up, so I figured anything Italian must be OK.
I was a little disappointed with the DDD event in general. There was a lot of the same old stuff: fashion girls are always nice, but the whole city had a pretty nice selection; listening to people rev their bikes get's old fast; and I've seen a Ferrari before. Autographs always seem to be a big draw, but how old do you have to be before you stop getting thrills from someone's autograph (unless it's on a check)?
Norm was also spoiled by the dyno shootout.

Well, it depends on which way the wind is blowing. Clearly the green is the pole side, so if the flag in the pic was blowing the other way, i would be correct. So, it appears that the flag is correct, it's just blowing towards the rear of the bike which makes sense because the bike is supposed to be going forward. Think about it. If the rider was holding a flag, or if a flag was actually flying from the bike, if you were on the starboard side of the bike watching it go by, the flag would be red, white, green no?
