Come see the new shop, meet the staff and see the new models (bikes that is).

Motorcyclist magazine says of the Multistrada 1200, “…the Multistrada lays down a pace no other adventure bike can touch. Its suspension, brakes and rock-solid chassis are a match for all but a handful of pure Superbikes, all of which are too cramped for extended interstate play…” (May 2010)[/i]

I am not happy with Primo right now. I am not sure they would be the place I would buy my next bike.

I thought the new store had a black 1198 on the floor... and you get a tent and tire warmers and chairs and a watch.

Cool. I think I'm just going to stop by quick on my way home from work which should be about 6:15.

John, I've never been a big fan of primo, although I did like the sales guy I was talking to yesterday. Very nice guy. Yeah I think Minneapolis has a black 1198.  Primo is also running the track day package deal on all superbikes. Tire warmers, chairs, tent, track day, watch, and pit bull front and rear stands. Not a bad package...

is there a ducati kitchen sink?  My god you need to rent a truck to bring home the bike and all the crap you get with it apperently.  Then when you get the bank loan for it you get a snuggy or a george forman grill.  I heard roumor that silverback will be doing track days as well [bacon]

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone at Ducati Minneapolis.  The Multi launch on Friday was a blast.

Vino900, the wine selection was fantastic.  [wine]

For those of you that haven't had a chance to ride the new multi....do it.  At first glance it looks rather big and unruly but it is truly a dream to ride.  The power is smooth and abundant and the suspension is spot on.  It feels like a bike half it's size.

If you're feeling like a bit of a hooligan the Hypermotard will not disappoint...cyclops will back me up on that.  [moto]
