   Ok, Bonfy, Dusty,.... Spill the goods.. Lets see the Action shots, Shannon and I mace it to Fan Fest about 5:00, very cool. Didn't see anyone We knew and had to bail early. Hope everyone had a good time there and Today, see You All soon,     KRJ.

I was hanging out at FanFest (first time ever) from about 5:30PM to 9:15PM.  Rode with another Duc owner and parked our bikes on Bijou between the two race vans.  Had lots of fun and was happy to see Ducati had a large presence! 

Towards 8PM or so, we made it back to the Ducati tents to say goodbye to Jake who was working, and I commented on the jacket worn by the gentleman seated across from him.  The rider was with a woman in the IOM78 jacket, also seated. 

Not sure if anyone knows who this is or if they're on the forum (or maybe it was you, KRJ)...?  Whoever it was, sorry I didn't get to stick around and introduce myself, chat, etc.

  Good Morning, Aerofaze, Shannon and I were there but left around 6:00 or so, We both drove, and didn't get a chance to change into any Ducati appearal. We did see Your bikes as We were leaving, made Me more frusterated I couldn't have rode. Oh well, it was still fun and I should be riding soon enough... [moto] [moto]    cheers,

Mike, Phil, (Campbell) and I were all there too drooling over the bikes too.  (aka, we were the ones carrying aroud the baby girl.)  Bonfy was working the tent in the evening - she wears the IOM78 jacket at times, but I don't remember if she had that one with her or not.

Lots of fun to see so much red!

Looked like there were several Ducati people there that arent on the board. There was another gentleman there with an IOM78 jacket that stayed till after they were tearing down the Duc tent.

Hey you all, I am sorry, I have not posted pictures of the Hill Climb yet.  I didn't see this thread till now and didn't realize everyone was so interested.   I will load them into photobucket and get some up.  I did post them on facebook though for what that is worth. 

It was a great time on Friday night, especially seeing some of the SoCO DOGs out and about.  The Hill Climb was amazing.  I will post pictures soon.  I have been working so much overtime, even the simplest effort is beyond me currently.  I will get them up before DiTR though since I will have a buttload more at that point.

Very cool shop, and Carlin and his crew were awesome, if you are ever in Santa Barbara stop by for a visit, but don't worry they will be at the hill climb for 2012 also.
