Ducati Monster Forum

Since there's already a laguna seca topic started why not Indy too.

I'm in the Louisville areas so my wife and i be driving up again and staying overnight. Who's going?

I was under the assumption that MotoGP Indy was moved to TX due to contract issues with Indy.  Hmmmmm   

Indy has motogp til 2014.

I heard Austin, TX has it's first MotoGP race 2013.

Sorry sir.

Here's the link from asphalt and rubber's site about the US motogp contract.

Indianapolis rules during the Moto GP week, lots to do and see. 
 Indy mile, bikes on Meridian St.  Ducati Island the best one in the USA, Ducati Tribuna (Ducati Grandstand-Project Mugello)  Red Snake ride, and lots more.

I'm going again, always lots to do, Indy mile is always a hoot, lots to od downtown, Ducati Island, and this year I'm going to take one day and take my GF for a tour of covered bridges, turns out there are quite a few still standing, especially down in Parke County. Right now I plan to ride the ST3 over, lots fo good riding VA, WV, and OH, but might take the Paso in the back of the truck. - Gene

I'm headed out with a buddy on his 999.  Will be there from the 17-19th.  Not sure of the route we're gonna take, first time to Indy.  Looking forward to it.

Where are you coming from? - Gene

My wife and I have gone the last 2 years from the green bay wi area. Downtown is a blast.

DC  [thumbsup]

Then we'll have to meetup and let me give you some ideas for a nice trip over to Indy, trust me I know some good routes to get there. - Gene

I live in Indy, so I will be there.

Never been to an event like this - what do I need to know to go have a great time with a minimum of hassle?

Most anticipated event on my moto calendar!  So many memories every time....King Kenny ripping the 30  yr old two stroke 750 on the Mile, Rossi watching Kenny in awe (like a 10yr old), Nickey bending the Ducati Flat Tracker sideways for fun the night before the GP, and if you never heard a GP bike at full note...it sends chills up my spine every time I hear it! 8)

I'll be there. Went last year. Its great. Ducati has the best setup overall. We should pick a night and have everyone from DMF go to Rathskeller in downtown Indy. That place was amazing. Great food, great beer selection, not pricey, beer garden and it's been there since the 1800's.

The Rathskaller rules... whole Mass Ave area is pretty cool.

Indy has a million great off-the-beaten path restaurants (http://www.iariasrestaurant.com/), bars (http://www.thesinkingship.com/), music venues (http://music venues), local breweries (http://sunkingbrewing.com/scripts/age_verify.php?return=/&x=-1), cultural (http://www.discovermassave.com/)/nightlife districts (http://www.discoverbroadripplevillage.com/), etc...

if you guys twist Grifo's arm, maybe he'll get the Hoosier Hooligans to set up something...

My husband and I are going...I can't wait.  Hotel prices downtown are insane this year, though.  We've stayed downtown for the past two years (year before last we were in the Sheraton and our room was actually overlooking the Circle!) but so far everything we've found is at least three times what we paid last year.  Regardless, since we're in Kentucky it's a nice little weekend trip for us - about a six-hour ride taking back roads.

Get a room while you can.

mmm Another broad ripple party...

I'm about 2 miles up College from Broad Ripple, BTW.  Let me know if you need any help with planning.

Okay.
I need to find that hooligan with the Rock Lobster connection. I'm sick of the Landshark..

I know pretty much all of the staff across the street at BRT.  You'll often see my yellow Monster parked in front of there, actually.

Yo.  Same guy.

What's our budget, and exactly how many go-go dancers are we talking about here?

ok lets discuss this on our forum, then we'll post the final plan here.

Come joins us for the red snake ride 2012

 Ducati Day at Moto GP at Indy 500 Track (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2NUU5LxELg&feature=youtube_gdata_player#)

the Indy Mile is a huge highlight of the weekend. Wish I could go! Post lotsa pictures please and Grifo, get me something signed by Rossi!!

How about my underwear?

My Dreamtime Replica was signed by Vale in 2009. Even have pics with him holding my helmet.

Got DiTR the week before...will have to see what happens. May just take the week between off and take backroads between Ouray and Indy.

The ones with the skid marks? I would cherish them forever  [puke]
