Title: Bad News Good News
Post by: Monstergirl on August 28, 2008, 02:02:34 PM
So per discussion at the last Italian night I am cancelling September at the 331.  Due to the Republicans and Labor day I just feel turnout would be low and traffic might be a problem. 

I would however, like to get everyone together on September 12th at Grumpy's in Minneapolis.  For folks whom are calender challenged that would be a Friday night.  Let's meet for some burgers and whatever else you prefer, if you are so inclined.  So it is officially:


"GRUMPY" MNDUCATI Night
Friday September 12th
6:30-10ish or whenever you want to leave.
Ride,or cage it.
Lets meet before we have to get the bikes back into storage and get REALLY Grumpy!

Oooooh.

A friday night event?  And it falls on my weekend off?

I just might have to come down for this one.

Although, I'll probably get screwed and end up missing it ... like usual.

Well that's why there wasn't a single cycle in the parking lot tonight.  I knew you all had switched forums but I didn't know it was this one.  I've been on this one for about a month now but just now discovered the local club section. 

Oh well.

sooo...like...return your phone call and I'll tell you [cheeky]

or...like...just ride over to my house and I'll like....ride with you.


It's downtown on Washington Ave. next to Bobby and Steve's Auto World. Just get on Washington and go almost all the way to the freeway. (35W) Kind of towards the dome. It's on the right side of the street and the parking is in the back.
If the bridge was open, it would be real easy access for most people from the freeway.

So I've missed every single Italian night.  Partly because I didn't know about the night being new, and partly because I've been gone and busy.  But just wondering,  is Italian night open to new people or is it some clicky thing?  It'd be fun to meet some fellow Ducati riders. 

thanks,

Julie

There's no clique.  Everyone's welcome...don't tell anyone but you don't even have to own an italian bike.  I would imagine that the October Notte is going to be back at the 331 Club, but check back to make sure.

That's right...anyone can come. You'll find a great bunch of folks there who love to talk about bikes. Kim has been super busy so I know that she hasn't had time to work on any venue changes. I'll tell her to post it up here soon where the next one is.

It will be 1st Monday as usual. That puts the next one on Oct. 6th. Grumpy's, downtown. Now that the bridge is open, it will be super easy for anyone to get to. And yes, this may be the last one cause this is MN, and it may snow tomorrow!

October 6th 6 pm- 9 ish
Grumpy's
1111 Washington Ave. S.
They don't mind bikes parking in the rear near the door

hey there - not sure if you planning on going to grumpy's tonight or not - I have a MNF party invite too ...debating since it looks like rain.  What a beautiful morning for a ride however! Took the bike to work.  [moto]  If you happen to log on and think you are going let me know.  :)
