Anyone heard the rumor that there may be a new Ducati store opening in Minneapolis? 

I hadn't heard that, but I suppose it's possible.  Surprising, but possible.

Didn't the big Ducati dealer in Wisconsin just close down a couple months ago?  I think it was near Madison.

Yeah, If I won the Lottery!


seriously though... I have heard tidbits. Currently can't even recall who I was talking to about though. I can say it was someone I met outside of the Maddog group. Lol  this is a great way to start rumors! 

 

The rumor I heard sounds like "nickel back" opening a Ducati show room at the recently closed vintage auto place on Lyndale.

Silverback!! 

The rumour is true; duly confirmed by Fred at the MC Show yesterday.  Silverback will be located on Lyndale not far from Bob's.  They will have a customer lounge area where we can get together for MN Ducati/Notte Italiana meetings etc.
Let's support this exciting new venture; we are lucky to have the combined expertise of Fred and Doug right here in our back yard.
They will probably open in March.

At 1st yes, at least as far as bike sales. I'm sure the guys will still work on anything you bring them though.

There's gonna be a cafe to! Also sounded like they'd have a fairly good selection of gear and clothing.

Sounds like an awesome spot for a hangout 

Thats a pretty big space if its gonna be both upstairs and downstairs.  And its only blocks away from the worst pet store on earth, so Mo can stop for cat squeekems on his way home from "hanging out"
