Ducati Monster Day

[DarkStaR]

This is probably old news/idea but I just saw a video on youtube about some town in Belgium having set the record for the amount of Monsters in one place at the same time.  The new record (at the time of the video)is 405.  Now I know the US of A is just a little bit bigger but I think it may be time for a ginormous event here.  Any thoughts.  Am I just dreaming?   

That one place is the U.S. of A.  We should just have meet-ups in our respective areas at the same time (taking time zones in to account), and call it a day. 

Do YOU guys REALLY think WE can get THIS group TOGETHER in a country this BIG.     

[DarkStaR]

Sure.


Hows January look for you?

Well, if the place is the entire country, doesn't that mean that the meet-up's going on right now with our bikes parked in our garages?

I think it'd have to be a little more specific geographically in order to qualify.

I talked with the guys from Ducati MOB (not SF MOB, but rather Monsters of Belgium) about their event.  In order to qualify, all the bikes had to be in one location for a certain period of time.  They did it in a town square.  People came from all over Europe. Once in the square and "counted", the bikes had to ride like 2 or 3 km, just to ensure they were running.  That's how they qualify for the Guiness count.  They actually had more monsters there than were counted, but a bunch arrived late to the "count."

How about January 31st, 2008 Noon at the top of Palomar Mountain in San Diego? I figure, keep posting dates, count who shows up, post pics of those who do show up, count, and keep posting dates until we pack the mountain and voila!

I'd shoot for '09....

but that's just me.

what about the center coast... of beautiful lake michigan! 

what's funny is that at any of the Harley anniversary parties in milwaukee could have organized a group of whatever popular harley model and absolutely smashed the 400+ count.  in fact i have a friend who works in marketing at harley, i should mention this for the 110th  lol

I like the idea of Barber Motor Sports  in May.

That way it should be warm enough for the folks in the Northern states to be warm (like say Memorial Day ) enough to ride and as they ride south it would be getting warmer as they went.

I've seen pictures of the Museum and it had at the time over 1000 bikes and race cars  displayed. What a treat.

If we could pull it off and ride around the track that would be the berries .

It's 1200 miles round trip for me and that's a long way for an old man.

Another way that might have a chance would be like " Live Aid ."

Have bikes meet in 4 different places around the country and get TV to cover it at the same time sort of like the way New Years is celebrated in each time zone on TV.

If we could get 4 local TV stations to cover us live maybe it would have to be on the 5pm news in each time zone, that might count.    Dolph
