Title: CT Duc owner get together
Post by: mdflyer on June 06, 2008, 01:35:26 PM
 I figure it is time for those with similar interest to meet and greet so I am hosting a cook out/get together for riders with easy riding distance to Simsbury, CT.
This is strictly Duc owners event and I do need to limit riders since my grill is only so big... There will be garage available if anyone wants to perform simple mod, maintenance, sag setting...etc. and after we get done laughing at your attempt [laugh], there will be competent toolhead who can assist if need.
If interested, shoot me a email to cdhwang@sbcglobal.net
Date will be June 28th and time will be 10AM til whenever I run out of food and gas.
so if you are nearby and wonder if there are other duc/monster owners around, this might be an opportunity to meet and greet. And FOOD.

Chris.

We have our trackday this coming monday up at Loudon.  And our next group ride on the 22nd.

 Wow, All the familiar names from DML and DESMO!!
I think I am going to piss off my neighbor by inviting as many riders as I can ;D since they all ride HD with straight pipes!!
Ducatini, Can you make it? You can cage it if you want to bring your future half. Would love to meet you all.
Hi! Michelle, Are you heading up to RedRoof Inn Sunday? I will probably hook up with Graham and gang for dinner Sunday night. How are your big cats? I will probably email you before I bring my kids to the Bronx so they don't have to stare at empty hills..

Like I said, more the marrier and like to be able to put faces with names..

Of course he can bring Sprint!! I didn't know he rode...After all, he is yours and your monster is needed when Sprint breaks down!! [laugh]

Both of you are more than welcome.

Hey Howie,
Are you at the track yet?
You can let me know by say Thursday before which is 26th and I can plan accordingly.

See ya.

Chris.
P.S. I don't know what each can contribute yet. it all depends on head count and right now, just bring yourself and drink plenty of fluid on the way up!

I think I am down to few more spot before I get overwhelm at my place.
So far, there will be suspension set up by tech, few oil changes, add ons and told to have my dremel tool standby ;D.
If you can make it, it would be great to put faces to those names and chill out with foods.
