Come to your local participating Ducati dealer for refreshments, demo rides, posters, giveaways, and most importantly to see the 2005 Monster S2R! Who knows, it could be you!


ProItalia in Glendale will be doing demo rides. I might go, anyone interested?


I need the sunshine in the morning, I'm heading for the open road.

Hey, Glendale's pretty close to where I live.  So I might be interested in checking this out.  However, I'm afraid that I'm going to drop one of the demo bikes, and then they will make me buy it, and I'll go bankrupt. :-/

Don't they had insurance to cover that?


I know last summer Ducati North America did a special track day for dealers as part of the introduction of the 999R. Take a guess how many bikes got wadded up...

Yes they lost 5 majorly pricey bikes at 1 event. Anyway, I don't think wrecking the bike is likely or something we would be held liable for 8)

No way!?!?!  Hope no one was hurt, but wow!  Friend of mine back east went on the Duc demo rides last year & he had to "prove" that he had 5 years experience riding a sportsbike....he never really clarified what the 'proof' consisted of other than to sign on the dotted line that he had such experience.  

If timing were better, I'd love to go.  Hopefully, next time....if you go, take lots of pictures!   :)

I'm not totally useless; I can be used as a bad example.

I'm not your type.  I'm not inflatable.

Therapy is expensive. Popping bubble wrap is cheap. You choose.
