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?   ???

There were a couple of threads here about trying to break the record.

Not sure if they went anywhere besides idle chatter.

I believe the problem was location

The right coasters wanted it there...

and the left coasters wanted it there...

You set it up, I'll be there.  I have no problem trying to plan such a thing, but I'd really botch it up.

AFAIK... Luca is still putting this together.
Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

I like the idea of doing it at Barber Motorsports Park outside of Birmingham Alabama because George Barber would love to host an event like this and would probably have us do ceremonial laps around the track in succession for to celebrate the event....and that is just my initial gut reactive feeling on this....

be nice to get a regional breakdown from Ducati NA of Monster sales over the last 5 years to see where the majority of these bikes are initially sold despite where they end up long haul wise...
99 Cagiva Gran Canyon-"FOR SALE", PM for details.
98 Monster 900(trackpregnant dog-soon to be made my Fiancee's upgrade streetbike)
2010 KTM 990 SM-T

I could check on that. Plus, everyone needs to see that Museum.

Just one lap?

We should get a whole day for the press the track would get.   :P
