    Ducati - Duc Truck Demo Days 2009

    We get TWO this year:

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

    Re: Ducati - Duc Truck Demo Days 2009

    Will we see any Desmosedicis being rolled off that truck?

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

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

    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.

    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.

    Re: Ducati - Duc Truck Demo Days 2009

    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.

    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.
