Title: Florida Monsters
Post by: IZ on January 21, 2012, 06:01:35 PM
Spotted a few Monsters in Destin today.  The only model I got a close up of was a gunmetal grey/red frame S4Rs.  I'm living in the area for the time being.  Anyone else in the Destin/Fort Walton Beach/Niceville area? 

I know there's a South Florida owners section.  Maybe it's time to add a Florida "Panhandle" riders section.   [thumbsup]

duccarlos was the driving force behind the sfl board.

maybe you could get it going again.

I can try to get the page to blur a little so you'd feel more at home. [thumbsup]

Hey!  I'm in Tallahassee and ride with one other duc around here.
I like the idea of a FL panhandle section!

Not much movement up there. Your best bet in North FL would be to look at the Jenning GP crowd. Various Ducs on the track, but not many on the rode. JGP is a great place for a trackday, specially for Ducs since it's not really a high speed track. Sebastian, owner of Melillimoto would be your go to dealer in FL. The Georgia dealers are mostly found way north, close to ATL, and east (NPR). DucShop is also up there, but Sebastian is The Ducati guy in FL. If he can't fix it, then you'e definitely in trouble.

There are also some guys, around 10, up in Jacksonville. They are pretty active in that area if you don't mind driving all the way east.

Destin/Panama City is like a dead zone for Ducs. Good luck with the Harley crowd. Send me a PM or message through FB if you want me to get you in contact with the Jacksonville or JGP folks.

Dood. Denstin is to far north. I hear it's cold there. You'll love the sandbar inside the pass though. Good times.

I'm even further north than Destin too YD!  30 miles from AL border. It's cold, rain and fog every morning.  This is a different world compared to that of SF. Just a pit stop though while visiting the in-laws with the new grand baby.
