Really enjoyed meeting all of you this morning, Erin, Chromo John the other John, Spidey etc etc.
Group ride, my first with such a crowd, was kick- ass, even if my definition of parade speed differed from the actual  Grin  Shocked

Look forward to seeing some pics posted and  sharing a beer with you all @ next get together.

That was excellent.  Good to see old faces and meet some new ones.  Sorry to those of you I didn't get to meet.  And everyone arrived safely.  Woot!  Nothing like looking back on the freeway and seeing a massive line of Ducs behind ya.   waytogo  Tigre and I ended up doing a loop over Pescadero and then took PCH back to SF.  It was absolutely gorgeous. 

Did I pick up the pace and make it less than comfy?  If so, sorry.  The right hand doesn't always obey the big head.   Evil

Hey Spidey - Wanted to say great job on your leading the group... This was my first group ride and first La Ducati Day, I was about 5-6 riders back behind you and and I gotta say an excellent pace!  It was so very cool looking back and seeing that many Duc's on the freeway behind us all.  Again, Great job!

The ride down was nice, a little chilly. 

I waited around all day because I wanted to ride a Hyper...   Shocked  I WANT ONE!  I couldnt really rip it up too much because of how they arranged the group test ride, but I can imagine what the thing is capable of.  I jumped on my bike right after so I could have a good comparison.  The turn in on the Hyper is insane, and the suspension felt top notch.  The 1100, well lets just say that it has a tad bit more pop than my 620!   I could see myself jumping curbs and doing wheelies all the time on that thing. 

There were some cool bikes, met some new people (thanks again BP!) and had a great time.

Damn Desmosedici RRs....with their loud exhaust and crowd-pleasing overtones during the music contest.

Still...DESMO Q was louder than the D16 Grin

Good to ride down with everyone!

you were robbed dq ... i would have voted for your bike.
