Man bags? Nevermind, I don't wanna know.

Anybody know the new shop hours? I need to bring my bike in before this weekends ride. How about the phone number over there?

I got one for my ipad. the girls think it is sexy!

what are doing - bring it over and we can tear it apart.

I've got to get my exhaust clearance issue sorted out. I'm pretty sure the chain is just a link (maybe two) short and will probably end up needing a new chain. Even tho the one on there is practically new. And I don't have a chain breaker or a way to rivet a new chain together.

They got their dealers license last Thursday and Fred posted to Craigslist that they were open. They still have allot of setup to do, but they'll do service, order parts, and sell bikes. Doug will work out St. Paul for a while.

I visited last Friday. Here are some pics.

1198 rolled onto the floor, still needing setup.



Shop area sits behind a wall of glass. I'm sure Fred, Doug and Anthony will enjoy the fishbowl effect. I for one intend to make cheek puffing fish faces at them whenever I visit. This pic is of the shop area from the doorway.



Something your not going to see at many other dealerships, if any. One of the owners, Fred, working on a bike.




The parts and accessory counter.




Anthony and Heather (parts manager - former Manley and Delano) behind the counter.





Didn't take a pic of the humungo red expresso/cappucino machine, and they haven't put together the customer lounge area yet. They intend to have a big screen and have MotoGP and WSBK parties.

I wish them luck and look forward to seeing it when their done putting everything together and really look forward to not having to haul stuff over to St. Paul for service.

Cool! I'll have to stop by and say hi soon.

That's great!  Thanks for posting the pics.  Fred looks thrilled that you're pointing a camera at him.   

I'm going to have to stop by and visit the new store.

Does anyone want to meet up Saturday morning for coffee and then head over to Ducati Minneapolis?

We can do that too.  I was thinking we should meet somewhere before hand and ride in.
