With the recent announcements of DIMBY AND WCDIMBY, please note that Ducatis in The Rockies (DiTR) will take place once again in Ouray, CO this year.
Details are far from final, but plan on a trip to "Switzerland of the Americas" sometime in August.

When we picking dates? Let's get this thing fired up.
I vote against August 8-9 and August 29-30 - Race Days!
How about Friday July 31st - Sunday August 2nd ??
Right now we are looking at the 14th-16th.
One thing that is a conflict is the AMA Womens Conference in Keystone the 19th-22nd. womenandmotorcycling.com/womenc/index.asp
Have not contacted any hotels yet, but DDGM has identified two others that are closer to town than the Hot Springs Inn.

What bike are you going to be racing?
my guess it is this one

Do you have new pictures up from it being painted yet?
Leaning towards something like this, somewhat similar to the 08 Xerox theme, yet different:

Biggest decision has been whether or not to paint myself or get it done. I'd like to learn to do it, but might be more practical in the end to have it done.
that would be bad ass. Painting yourself will save booku $, but painting is 10% spray gun and 90% prep. if it was me I would pay professional, unless it was too outrageous. If it is I have been know to have a mean rattle can hand [evil]
Hopefully I'll be back in CO by then ;D

Lots of room for a shiney logo on the side [roll]
Well, I want to come out from south Louisiana for DITR. Closer than either DIMBY, and ya'll have MOUNTAINS! (which I love). What are the temps like in August?
Quote from: swampduc on January 22, 2009, 09:25:58 PM

Could be hot, most likely rain, possibly snow, usually sun, hard to tell!
And I am being serious.
Quote from: swampduc on January 22, 2009, 09:25:58 PM

Much more comfortable than Louisiana... Guar-un-teed. ;D
Can dates be put to a poll? Late July, early August right now works best for me.
Oh and Munch, I know a guy who does great work and reasonable for painting if you want to go that route.... plus he owns a Duc and he's Italian:)
6 months away... we outta get a date on the calendar so people can start to plan.
i agree!!
sec weekend in august!!!!!
[popcorn]
Maybe Randimus can honeymoon at DITR? [thumbsup]

I think the consensus is the second weekend in August.
I will call up the hotels next week after my return from vacation.

You're considering this trip a "vacation"? I think we have a communication problem. You've met my family and you know the schedule my sister and mom have for everyone, right?
As far as 2nd week of Aug. are you talking the w/end that includes the 8th? The AMA is having a women's conf. / weekend of riding in Keystone (note to any of you single and looking boys out there). Chicks on bikes Aug. 19th-22nd. If you're talking the 2nd FULL w/end of Aug (meaning the week before the AMA event), then I'm likely out of the DITR.

Computer took a digger, so I've not had a chance to work on anything.
Will resume this weekend.
Randy, hey! I'll do another DiTR! Maybe posting it up on the sites here in Phx will draw more than a couple of us this year. There are a lot more Ducs getting together lately. DG
We need to get this planned, before other ideas take away interest!
Thanks for volunteering Scotty boy!! let us know the details you come up with!
Senior Randy - what's the word? Natives getting restless!!
We're ironing out the details, so look for them soon.
Dates will be August 7-10.
Will there be midget prostitutes and free weed like last year? [thumbsup]

A few beers and a long soak in the hot tub and you'll never notice. ;D
The beds were a big consideration.
Walking distance to bars & restaurants (or, more accurately, stumling home distance)
Ease of booking
Overall service
Room rate
all seemed more important.
They do still have the free breakfast, and I will make sure they have Pop Tarts.
And a race weekend ontop of that [bang]

AeroGeek and I would like to attend, if you will have us [thumbsup] We normally do an offroading trip to Ouray towards the end of August, but a Duc meetup sounds even better [beer]
We will be trailering up from DFW.
Absolutely, Slag!
The more, the merrier! [beer]

Be sure to come even if you don't have something lined out, we will make something work :)
Hi all you riders from Denver, here is a whole slew of pictures from the weekend. Randimus asked us to post them on the other boards so I am putting the link here where my pictures start on the NMMR DiTR thread. There are lots of good ones that start a page or two before as well. Enjoy! Hope to see you next year and maybe at some DucNight's in between!
