Come join the Ducati North America Hypermotard Demo Truck at the world-famous Bay Area ride destination—Alice's Restaurant. On July 11-13 from 9-5am each day Ducati will transform the crossroads of Highways 84 and 35 into the only place you need to be.

I deffinetly need to go try out some bike that I can't afford! 

So how many do you think will get dropped?

Its like Christmas and the circus in town at the same time! ha ha  - I can't believe it's true.

I road one around Monroe's once for 3 minutes. It was like my childhood dirt bikes all over again.
Except the ass smell of Valencia instead of desert.  Tongue

I wonder if the cops will be pulling them over to harass them...like they've been doing to other riders down there.

Wow.  I would be curious to see Ducati's liability premium.  Hard for me to believe they have the huevos to stage an event like this.  Hope no one kills themselves.

What's the difference of having the demo's at a parking lot (Alice's) as opposed at a dealership.  I went to one of the Ducati demo events at Pro Italia 2 summers ago and flogged the crap outta a s4rs.  I did a few wheelies and a burnout.  That bike had less than 400 miles on it and had already been dropped once (that is what I was told by the rep from DNA).  The Rep from DNA said he has seen it all, accident's, speeding tickets, parking lot drops, people dropping the bike 10ft into their ride  bang head

After that, I know that I will NEVER buy a demo bike no matter how good the deal is  vomit

I say we just bring some lawn chairs, set up on some of the more "interesting" corners, and keep score.

Overall score based on a few simple criteria:
1. Form and line.
2. Type of dismount:
A.lowside
B.highside
C.over the bars
D. OMFG!! I CAN'T BELIEVE HE"S IN ONE PIECE!!!
E. Emergency service involvement.

Yeah, I know, I'm going to hell for this (among other things). Evil

But at least I'll have entertainment while I wait! laughingdp popcorn laughingdp coffee laughingdp popcorn laughingdp

Let's not forget some of the additional criteria for scoring:

3. Law enforcement presence in pursuit
4. Distance between rider and said law enforcement pursuit.

I guess that would fall in the "EMS Involvement" category, but we can make them separate ones if it'll up the entertainment aspect. waytogo laughingdp
