Umm...yeah. DaineseDan was telling me about that the other day.

Someone at DNA needs to be beaten for this.
OMFG...those spider web graphics almost make me want to put chrome spikes and LED knight rider lights on my Monster, then do enough speed to lower my IQ enough to appreciate it as art.
om g omg omg ogm omg omg :o HURRY AND MAKE IT!
I can't wait to get my 848 stand with "racetrack" theme!
f*ck I hope they make matching thong and underoos!
"The OCC née Ducati Hudson Valley showroom will be the first "Ducati Retail Design Project." As such it will feature custom stands for each bike incorporating elements unique to each model's character; the Monster will use a curvy mountain road, the Ducati 848 a race track, etc. While that sounds pretty tacky, we'll reserve judgment till we've seen it. "

Would it be bad if we started crank calling them?
Maybe order 300 thongs or something.

I think you've found a great first ride for Spidey's spawn! [laugh]
You know the sad thing is they gave those clowns a dealership, but Nichols couldn't get DNA to let him open his own dealership in Pleasanton...... ???

Might be because of ACE in Concord. It's only 25miles away. I think they have mileage limits so there's not too much competition between dealers.
Still, +1 on the clown comment.

Yeah, in talking to John, it sounded like DNA let him get all the way up to basically signing on the "X" and they backed out at the very last second. I'm sure you're right though about ACE being in such close proximity. Two stores that close would cannibalize each other. Oh well, hopefully the Kymco scooter thing is working out for him instead.

Maybe I should apply for a dealership?
Nah
You would be declined just for the fact your bikes are so dam tasteful [thumbsup]
I think that's a threat to the brand image. Most custom/modified Ducatis I've seen have been in line with the overall Ducati aesthetic. Letting the chopper guys bling these out is going to be very bad. :-\
Yeah, less bling more zing......
