World Ducati Week. Anyone?

[stopintime]

If you have an extra set of stock pipes you want to bring just in case, you can send them my way and we can truck them down. We should have a truck with a small shop inside.

Stock pipes  Thanks, but I'd rather walk

Ok need to rework this. apparently in location 1 the doubles are queen beds and the triples are a queen and a twin. sooo unless stopintime is sleeping with goby, need to rearrange a bit.

I'm finding out more about the other locations as well as checking on a few more places in the same vicinity.

I've been unable to locate a large hotel closer than 3.5 miles away so i still think these B&Bs are the best option. so far the 3 we have are no more than 3km from the track.

You mean - like - ehh 

We'll just tuck in the covers real hard and hope to wake up before the other party goes too far

No need to rearrange at this point.

i'm asking if they really are two beds pushed together...
you could use the tried and true birthcontrol method. one sleeps under the sheet the other on it.

here is from the Ducati listing for hotels... interestingly enough i couldn't find a hotel closer than the B&B we have reserved already, so not sure what hotels they are quoting.

so since some of us are coming from the US it's free to get in all 4 days? am I reading that correctly?

I guess they feel sorry for you, not having a bike there

You'd still have to pay for my drinks though (fine print)

That's an idea - better hurry up though - must be a few with the same thoughts....

(my guess is that Raux will provide links within an hour )

crazy thought...

Considering every rental joint w/in a few hundred miles will be booked, has anyone considered renting a little further away and making a 'bit of a road trip out of it?

I will be flying in from either Nigeria, Colombia, Honduras, or the US (depending on where I'm working the week before)... and I kind of thought that would be a neat alternative. Come in a couple days early and leave a couple days late...
