We get TWO this year:
May 22-24 Fay Myers Demo Rides Greenwood Village, CO
Aug 19-22 AMA Women's Conference Demos, Keystone, CO

Might have to go in drag for the second one though.

[pg_rider]

Will we see any Desmosedicis being rolled off that truck? :D

Seriously, will there be any 1098/1198 models? Or did I only see the 848 listed?

[asp_125]

848 was the only supersport available. There is the Hypermotard though.

[Sully]

:bananna: :up:

[Sean]

Has anybody gone to one of these, what's the deal? I would love to try a duc once. Is it a super long line and then you get to to take the bike on a preapproved 1/2 mile course? Just curious.

[willb003]

Sounds pretty cool to me.

[Matty]

last year was kinda cool.

Sean... you go inside, fill out some papers, and show your ID and Insurance. Give them your preference in bike. Then they try to put you on the bike you requested.

the route is through the Inverness area around the shop. about a 20 - 30 min ride. Mellow paced in a group of 12 or so.

I got to ride the Hypermotard and 848.

Mmmmm...long rides...I love loooong rides...:hump:

If you do decide to sign up. Go REALLY EARLY.. the 848's and Hypermotard slots go quick. Previous years I went the Thursday afternoon before the Friday event and signed up. Last year you could only sign up for the day of, IIRC. Did I say show up early? The other thing to do is come back at 3pm and hope somebody doesn't show for their last ride timeslot. I rode basically every bike they got, 'cept the Hypermotard.

They have ~10-12 bikes each ride, at the top of the hour. The Fay rides wind around Centennial Airport and back. The Keystone event ought to be interesting, wonder if they will go up old Hwy 6.

Look Smashburger in the background...now that is a good burger!

[GixxerCarrie]

Yup...its right across from Fay on Arapahoe and Dayton. Ride then go to Smashburger!

Nice Pics Matty...So would you do it again?

[Matty]

sure.... i'm interested to see if they bring the new streetfighter duc. i wouldn't mind trying that. and the Hypermotard again. i wasn't impressed at all with the 848. then again we didn't go over 35 mph or out of 3rd gear so....

Good luck on that one, they wouldn't even let us try the 1098. Not over 35?? You must've gone on the noob ride. ;) We went onto I-25 for a bit, IIRC.

Bump. Next weekend. Anyone heard if the streetfighter will be available? That's the only one I would like to try.

[GixxerCarrie]

Yup...They have the big Duc Semi, Tents, and all the bikes lined up outside. Looks pretty cool.

Rides start at 10, sign up starts at 9. Sign up is first come first served, but you can sign up at 9 for a 3PM ride (for example)

[Sean]

Did anybody go today? I'm curious to know what they have.

[asp_125]

Debating.. only if they have the Streetfighter to ride.

[longrider]

Sorry, the only Streetfighter is on a display stand in the showroom :( However we do have Pegram's race bike to drool over :)
