so fellow mobsters ... what's the plans for an organized/disorganized group arrival of mobsters @ LDD2011?
also, as with each year @ LDD, i will have the front parking area reserved for monster parking ... is there any sort of formal/informal monster contest being planned?
i know, i know ... lot's of questions from me ... i'll guess i'll just have ... to wait and see ;D
Plans? What are those?

...for Nigel.
Enzo and I are going to be there super-early (I need to leave around 10 or 11) so unless peeps want to get a move on we'll probably miss out on this.
i'm interested in a group ride, but since i live near the I-580 and I-680, it's unlikely many people will start from here. i like group rides so much that i'll even ride to the city, then down to LDD.
A co-worker of mine from Sacto is riding down and meeting me in Concord. East Bay meet up anyone?

Blake, want to meet in W.C. and head to the city together? I'm thinking meet at 9, leave at 9:15. That gives us 45 min to get to Dainese. Maybe meet at the Shell gas station at the SW corner of Ygnacio and California near the WC BART station?
Yeah, we can meet you there and we can head over. See you then. [thumbsup]
Sounds good to me. See you then.
Anyone actually planning to ride more than just to La Honda? Lot of good roads there and the twisties to La Honda are only about 8-10 minutes from 84 and 35 intersection.
Wondering if anyone was planning on riding any more than just to la Honda. Perhaps down 84 to the beach, across Stage and back up Pescadero?
I ride cupcake :)
I'd be interested in riding more than just to La Honda and back. Probably hit LDD first, hang out for a bit, then hit some roads. Yes...No...
I'm cool with that. The pescadero loop i was suggesting brings us right back to la honda so we could hang out for a while, head out, and come full circle.
PM me to coordinate a time when we should head out of LDD for a quick 30-45 minute run.
If anyone is interested, we have a group leaving from Aldo's in los gatos, probably around 11am...
we also have a facebook page that you can join: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bay-Area-Ducati-Riders/212649932130255 (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bay-Area-Ducati-Riders/212649932130255)
For North Bay riders heading to the D-Store for the group ride to La Ducati Day; we will meet at 9:30 AM at the Buckeye restaurant located just west of the 101 Freeway at the Stinson Beach off ramp / San Francisco on ramp.
grazie to all the MOB peeps who will ride down to LDD this sunday ... weather looks to be great. [thumbsup]
just got back from setting up the branding and booth space allotment for the event ... the weather in la honda was supa-fine today. it's going to be warm and sunny for tomorrow too [thumbsup]
and ... the cafe is now under new management ... and they have an espresso machine!!!! w00t!
although not up to joe's standards for an espresso, it's still an improvement over not having ANY espresso in years past [bang]
[thumbsup] sound good , it will be great .
John should ask Joe for a loan of his killer Espresso :)

Sadly, I'll be on an airplane at that time [bang]
About time you picked a non-rainy day for this.
So how did the ride go? I passed a bunch of Ducatis headed to the event on my way out. I was wondering if it was you guys.
I think I saw bike that looked like DrunkenMonkey's on 35 on my way to at about 12:30ish...if he even went.
Everyone ride home safe & sticky rubber down.
Great day! and super sunny weather. Anyone got pics to share?
