Ducati Monster Forum

Ciao a tutti -

The reason for getting these events started was to provide a fun, social atmosphere for Ducati owners, folks that want to become Ducati owners, and folks that don't yet know that they want to become Ducati owners, to sit, eat, talk, walk around and look at other Ducatis. All brands and models of motorcycles are welcome, so please don't be put off by the event name ;-)

John (johnc) will be your host ... and if he is not in town, look for Matt Farnetti or Alex Marzano ... the usual suspects;-).


Please come and join us from 6:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on the second Monday of each month.

The next San Francisco South Bay Area Ducati Bike Night is: Monday, May 12, 2008.

When there are no more places to park, put them on the sidewalk, at least if it's a Superbike

Thanks John,

I think these may be too pretty for my bike though.

I recognize my helmet right smack in the middle.   [cheeky]

yup and the back of my head  :P

...and my lamborghini gallardo spyder in the background.

we can scuff them up a little, if you prefer  [thumbsup]

next month's bike night will feature more door prizes, so please make sure to attend.

also, a shameless plug aimed at ducati owners in the bay area ... we are starting a new DOC (desmo owners club) that is regional based (northern california), NOT model specific like the existing DOC's in the area (e.g.: sportclassic owners club, ducati monsters of bay area, mh900e owners club, vintage ducati club, st owners club).  SO, if you own ANY ducati, and are interested in track days, racing, wrenching, riding schools, destination rides, social events and charity events ... PLEASE check out the NorCal DOC.  the web site is still under construction, and is @ http://www.norcaldoc.com

btw, i am NOT trying to steal members from the ducati monsters of bay area DOC (heck, i am not even sure if this still IS a DOC) ... you can be a member in BOTH clubs.  fwiw, all of the MOBsters i have gotten to know over the years are mondo cool people and hard core ducatisti, and would be great additions to ANY club.

a presto,
johnc
