Ok just a few informational things. Welcome kits should be on the way soon. Ducati Clubs cut off the first shipment of Kits on May 15th. So all of you who signed up or were already signed up by May 15th, will receive a 2010 Welcome Kit. I have told Ducati to send them directly to you in the mail. If they don't..........well we will cross that bridge when we get there. The next shipment of Kits will occur in September, so if you know of someone whom has not signed up officially then they need to before September 1st to get a 2010 Welcome kit. Sign up here.......

I think I have given everyone from last year enough chances to pick them up. I can't ride with a bag full of stuff so as of this next meeting I will not be carting those around anymore. If you still want your 2009 Welcome kit please send me $1.55 to my home address. Email me at
monstergirl@mnducati.com for it. It costs this much because I have to put it in a mailer for the pin so it doesn't get bent. Italian night is June 7th at the Gnome and the Manager has assured me space for our group for June.
As for rides this summer. I regret to inform you all that rides cannot be arranged by me or any other official representative of MN Ducati or Ducati Owners Clubs. Ducati requires insurance for all DOC sanctioned rides. This also includes any arranged by me. So if you are looking for organized rides I suggest you check the following website for details this summer.........
http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=29.0 or other chat boards around the internet. I also would like to know if anyone is interested in a Ducati Track day. This we can do and have been approached to do in collaboration with Zalusky Performance Riding Schools but they need to know interest before they will hold any dates. Please email me if you may be interested in this.
Also as for the new Ducati Store here in MPLS. I have still not been in contact with the owners or with DNA about when they plan a grand opening. I assume that they will be contacting us. They are open.
WDW or World Ducati Weekend is also approaching fast. I know it is far but if anyone is planning to go to Bologna please let me know as we have hotels and perks that you should take advantage of. This also goes for travelers to Miller Motorsports park in Toole UT for World Superbike this next Weekend.
So lots going on. If you have any questions please email.
