From the SoCalDMC newsletter  (they still owe me bling):

Dear Members,

This is to inform you about a fellow DOC member of the Ducati Club in Naples that has taken on this adventure around the world!

He is riding a Multistrada around the globe and he is counting on the suport of his fellow DOC members to help him out in his crazy, beautyfull adventure.

He s currently in Autralia and will be in Canada and then the US pretty soon!

Paolo will be in LA friday the 5th and saturday the 6th. He will be riding to SD on sunday the 7th.

Follow where he is with his GPS and get more info on his trip, on our site or on the Ducati USA site under "events".

During his stay in LA, we are trying to organize a few events and rides to guide him around Los Angeles and to spend some time with him.
Some Ducati Dealers are/will be invlved too.

Here is the tentative plan for his stay in LA:

Friday 11.5
- Paolo meets SoCal DMC in the morning at Point Mugu - 10AM-
- Lunch with Paolo in Malibu
- Paolo rides to LAs most famous places, to take pics and videos together, to be posted on the website (i.e. Studios)
- cocktail party at Beverly Hills from 5 to 6/7 PM (TBC)
- Friday night with our Club, immersed in the LA fun !


Saturday 11.6
- riding to LA in the morning for more pictures of LA iconic places
- lunch party at ProItalia, 12PM - 1PM (TBC)
- meeting with Nino and OC DC posse to hand Paolo over to them
- saturday night party with OCDC and Ducati Newport Beach


Sunday 11.7
- OCDC escorts him on his way to San Diego and "pass the baton" to San Diego DOCs


WELCOME RIDE

Meet up is at 8:30 at Chevron Station on PHC and Sunset.
We take off at 8:45



We will meet with Paolo at around 10am. Ducati is trying to arrange for a press representative to be there and shoot a few pictures of his arrival.
We will then proceed to ride down through Malibu. Possibly a canyon or 2 (depending on how Paolo feels about riding).
We will then stop in Malibu to have Lunch at aprox 12:30/1:00.


Of course, in an adventure like this, the unexpected is always around the corner (holes in the road, kangaroos, Customs, robbers, flat tires, ...) and we need to be ready to possible last minute changes.


Regards,
The SoCalDMC Team.

Anyone here planning on doing this? Seems somewhat cheesy but might be kinda fun.

Thanks Angeleno! 

I was planning on trying to make it.

Erik i know that the Central Coast club in SLO is going to greet him as he rides by there and ride together to Santa Barbara on the  4th...

Paolo is relying only on club members or rides to help him out in this ride...he will be staying at my place in Santa Monica, at OC DC president Ninos place on the 6th...
his website is pretty interesting and shows you also videos (unfortunately only in italian) how much he has been helped out by fellow ducatisti along his way all the way to the US.
Hope to see as many of us out there to welcome him!

ciao

I never did like those guys at SB Ducati.  It took them 3 tries just to get the correct exhaust heel guard for my bike and they held onto my bike for a month while they were trying to sort out that one part before I figured out what the delay was and went to pick it up and had them mail it to me. I mean, it was cool when they picked up the bike from SLO for cheap but other than that, communication with them was a hassle.

I also made arrangements to be in Tustin for Friday night so I can get some pho and go go-karting w/ friends.  I'll catch up with you guys on Saturday.

[lawbreaker]

I'll be there

[erkishhorde]

Don't think I'll make it for the ride. Just got home from a night out with friends. Maybe catch you guys at Pro Italia or the bbq.

[lawbreaker]

Got to meet Paolo


rode in trail to lunch...


we ate, and I had to bail..... didn't make the bbq but i'm sure it went well... Nino and some of the OCDC guys are good peeps

Socal DMC DRASTICALLY outnumbered the Cen. Cal Peeps fo' sho'!!!!

[erkishhorde]

Lol, there aren't many in the central cal DOCs to begin with.
