Ducati Diavel Unveiling Night 19th Hole DC

[zooom]

I'll be there at 8:30, after work, probably drinking a Peroni by myself.  I'll knock the bike over and yell "They call me ZOOOOM!"  Probably start fight with any members of my old firm if any are there.

hahahahahahaahaha....

So Is anyone going or what? 
I think I will stop through!  [moto]

[DRKWNG]

Not I.

I'm pretty slammed at work, but might walk over for a few minutes - I'll be in brown slacks and a sorta brown/burnt orange shirt and black overcoat.

Yeah gonna stop by around 6pm and then head out to philly for the weekend.

I think a friend and I will be riding over there around 6:30.

I swung over for a while and just got back.  Pretty nice event - they even have a couple of bikes inside the bar and have the bar tenders in ducati shirts   Even met up with an old friend I hadn't seen in years there  (though I didn't see any other lawyers - lots of students and such).

they also have the shop race bike which I liked better than the diavel.

I showed up too. Decent turnout. I don't know some of you guys or I would have said hi.

Hmmm...  Guess I should re-think this whole staying in thing...

I caught the tail-end.  Free t-shirt, lanyard, pressure gage, some other stuff.  Good actual set-up - they had one outside for revving, and one inside for looking. The bike itself isn't bad; Ducati uses the flapper valve to control noise on the "street" setting.  Interesting.  Can't be good for the motor...  A nice married girl kept me company while I drank my $2 Peroni.

Harley started using those flappers on their bikes in Europe to pass noise regs about 10 years ago -- none on the US bikes.  It's a good idea but I think the regulators will get wise to it.

DucPond event was great, could have been a little warmer, test rides were on Saturday. - Gene
