i was pretty tame, managed a Spyke touring jacket & pants for $150, and a pair of Ducati Race gloves for $100 .. the amount of people squashed in there, brought back repressed memories of my last trip to Ikea so i had to get out of there....

[mattyvas]

Yep I was with you Oz.
Felt like a sardine, all I really wanted was gloves and got my 2 pairs.
I was in the first 30-40 people to get in and it felt like a boxing day sale.
People and hands grabbing at stuff everywhere!

Got there about 1:30 ish, still busy the queue wasnt too long, managed to get a few things, then after talking to one of my sons had to go back in and get more stuff (for the grandkids)- told you Im an old bastard, so I ended up with pair of textile pants, 3 backpacks, five hats, a thousand shirts and gloves, missed out on the last back protector and none of the shoes would fit me 9.5 was the biggest size, those ducati 2 piece suits looked sweet and a bargain at $800, oh well, at least I got something  [moto]

So, after some mucking around getting across the city this afternoon which made me double back to the cross city tunnel (anyone know what that rally was about?) I ended up getting down there around 3:30... Still a heap of stuff there and even further discounted..
I was originally chasing a spare jacket/gloves (for random cup cakes, my flat mate, etc) and some pants..

Got down there on Saturday morning (good to see you all by the way, sorry I didn't get to stick around too long) and grabbed:
Dainese Ducati Meccanica Jacket - $350 (Must have been a sample?)
Dainese Ducati Motard Jacket - $200 (Should be REALLY good come summer)
Ducati short gloves - $30
Puma casual shoes - $50
Anyway, popped down this afternoon expecting the place to be barren but surprisingly I found a Dainese two piece on the rack in my size.. Expected (and was quite happy) to pay the $750 but when I got to the counter (at 4:10) the guy said gave a smile and said it was "on special" and rang up $400.. I was ecstatic!
I had to chuck it on because It wouldn't fit in the back pack..

Got 2kms down the road and got absolutely drenched.  - Damn the lack of wet weather gear storage on my bike.. (Anyone got any solutions?).. so it's sitting in the "Drying room" at the moment (My bathroom with a little heater in there).

Really chuffed with the purchases.. I've gone from one jacket to three and a two piece and saved an absolute packet! Just gotta get some boots and a new jacket for the boss now and I'll be sorted!

So what else did people managed to grab!?

Hi there Wells, sounds like you got the deal of the century on those leathers. 
Here are a few tips for you:
Careful not to overdry it. You will ruin the leather. As long as you don't make a habit of getting your leathers wet too often, they should be OK. Once they are dry, if they look a bit dehydrated, use the leather conditioner supplied with the suit to condition the leather (if it is infact conditioner??).
Don't rub in one place too much to avoid discolouration. (Wow, that didn't sound quite right, did it?)
Only condition the leather once it is completely dry. Buy yourself some light weight wet weather gear from a bike shop. Something that folds away quite compact for just in case. Don't buy a cheap and nasty one because they leak at the seams. Complete waste of time. Another option is to go to a tradies uniform supplier to buy it. They have nice compact ones that fold up really small.
Hope this helps.

Holy Crap!
The Next Syd OzMo ride will be embarrassing  Way too much Ducati Branded stuff to bare.
This would really give the Jap Crap boys spmething to laugh about!

from page 1 ...

Well I know what the theme is for our next group ride ... something that will probably be uttered where ever we go ... "fuggin Ducati wankers!".

But first we need to actually have a group ride ... luckily now we have all this gear - we don't have to!

Another stereotype satisfactorily met

Don't worry, people may not wear it ... you know ... 'don't want to get bug splatter on my $2000 power ranger suit'

[mattyvas]

Yep I'm almost glad I didn't get anything.
The only other thing(s) I would have liked would have been shorty gloves, didn't see any.
And a pair of leather pants but oh well.

I might be the only one wear non branded, you'll see me first or last.

[suzyj]

It's okay Matty, I'll keep ya company.  I managed to avoid the place all together
