OCC now a Ducati dealership...

Wilsons in Fresno has done more Duc damage than OCC could ever do.

I beg to differ

WTF?!?!? I can not believe how ulgy the "spider web" monster is.

All in all, we are bikers for one reason, we love riding in the wind on two wheels.  I am sure OCC Team loves bikes just as much as the next guy.  I appreciate all types of bikes, look at the Barber Museum, all sorts of wild flavors in there.  I think they will do a great job hep marketing the Ducati brand.   

Common, if people were going to give million dollars contract to act silly and build a bike, and gain sponsorships, everybody will jump on it like vultures on a carcass.  I've been to OCC, and the roads up there will be great for performance bike like Ducati's.

Peace. 

BTW I like that seat cowl, imagining it on my bike..

I hate to say it, but it look to me like they did a good job of stocking a killer inventory for opening.  I would kill to see that many bikes at my local shop.  If they were the closest dealer, I would buy one from them.  Doesn't mean you have to ride with them every weekend.  (although you might stand a better chance of making it on TV)

Any theme ideas for the next Ducati chopper?

Thanks for posting that link!  Some nice pics.

I completely agree.  They definitely did a nice job with the inventory and the in-store merchandising displays.  The Desmosedici on the showroom floor is a nice touch.   

OCC isn't going to hurt the Ducati brand, unless your definition of "hurting the brand" = "reaching a wider audience". 

What remains to be seen is how well they can provide after-sale support and service for the Ducs they sell.
