so my wife says "hey, you got a letter yesterday."  What?  I never get mail.

I see this on the envelope:



Uh.. I don't know anyone in belgium.. what the eff?

After opening carefully I find this:




nice!

I got the same thing in the mail yesterday. 

Hey, where the hell is mine? ... 

Doesn't look like there's one near Atlanta. How would someone go about forming a club?

Don't feel bad. You have to join an approved club to get that swag. My nearest is in NoVA, 100+ miles north. No WAY I'm going north of Quantico unless somebody is PAYING me good $$$ to do it.

You can buy the stickies on-line for less than a club membership, even though this stuff is free to anyone who bought a bike..., but NOT unless you join an approved club, which in my case I'd never use.

Booooooo.......

not too worried.. but getting free stuff in the mail is always nice.  haha

and i joined DESMO, the club up here... also no fee involved, just had to sign up.  but i've always heard that the DOC welcome kits are hit and miss if you get one or not.  it all depends on how up to date the club president is supposedly.

My club is also free.  And no, it's not the president fault when a member does not receive the swag.
Someone in Italy make the beast with two backsed up..

Guess I'll start a club of two with my buddy I got my bike from. He's got 4 Ducs sitting in the garage, so obviously he's in.

I know you are kinda bein funny...but in all seriousness, for a DOC to be recognized by Ducati NA and so forth, there has to be an authorized dealer for to officially sponsor said club as per Ducati's corporate requirements...

If, as it seems, several dealers sponsor this club, why are the annual dues then $20? They should be rolling in cash.

I was being funny but would also be interested in exploring setting up a club in Atlanta. We do have a dealer and I did join US Desmo when I was at DucStock at Barber a while back.

Is there a link to find out more about establishing a club?

There's a club in ATL,e but you have to pay. It's an official DOC. I suggest joining an online DOC, like Ducati.net or go full out and look at USDESMO.
