DESMO 8th Annual BBQ (& Swap Meet): Sun, Aug 17th

[Pakhan]

I'm tempted to go but 2 meet up Sundays back to back means I'm missing too much Sunday riding. 

I'm going to the 8/10 NYMMC meet up

[mookieo2]

Wish I could go but I will be " Extreme tubing" down the mighty Esopus River

[Pakhan]

what is extreme tubing, and isn't that a tiny river?

[mookieo2]

I don`t know why but they say it is an expert course. They recommend you wear a helmet. I guess a spare tube for a cooler of beer will be out of the question.

[GLantern]

Extreme tubing?  How can you be an expert tuber you don't steer a tube do you? Or do they give you a paddle?  You should rock a motocross helmet and your leathers i think

O and i really cant make that its my buddy's last hoorah before he goes back to school so i might be in some form of an alcoholic haze

DESMO's Eighth Annual BBQ and Bike Show will be held on Sunday,
August 17, 2008, at Thomas Bull Park (Orange County) in Hamptonburgh,
NY. Just like last year, we have a private section reserved with
covered picnic tables, a softball diamond, a playground and a
volleyball court. There is plenty of room (and shade) for you and
your family, and all are invited. It's a great chance for you to
spend the day with your family and with your friends, in a safe, kid-
friendly environment.

For the first time ever at our BBQ, DESMO will concurrently host a
(Ducati-only) Swap Meet. For information on selling, please
contact: swapmeet @ desmoducati. org. This will be our 4th Swap
Meet, and it will be a great opportunity to empty your closets and
garages of spare parts…or pick up that elusive spare part.

This year also marks our Fourth Annual Bike Show. Last year we had
about five dozen entries spanning 45 years of Ducati history and we
awarded trophies in 6 Award categories:
Best of Show
Best Superbike
Best Supersport
Best Tourer
Best Monster
Best Vintage

Not only will you get to see pretty much every model of late, but
you'll also get to see some great vintage Ducati singles and twins,
plus the occasional Bimota and Cagiva. Many of our members own some
fantastic motorcycles (new and old), and they're always eager to
share their piece of history with us.

For information on participating in the Bike Show, please email
bikeshow @ desmoducati. org.

As always, we'll host our World Famous door prize raffle (with swag
from some of our favorite sponsors, in addition to some new
sponsors). Last year we raffled off helmets, battery tenders,
trackdays, bike locks, hats, shirts, tools, gift certificates,
jackets, oil, billet accessories, helmet bags. I don't think anyone
went home empty-handed.

We've already received some fantastic donations, and we're always
very appreciative of our sponsors.

This will be our largest BBQ everâ€"please don't miss out. This is your
chance to meet and mingle with scores of Ducatisti, talk about and
show off your bike, share your trackday experiences, check out the
bling on everyone else's bike, and visit (or sell in) a Swap Meet. We
had over 100 participants share in last year's fun, and we're gunning
for lots more people and working on lining up some special
surprises.
