200 miles

Post by commotoed »

I rode her over 200 miles this past weekend, yehaw!
My CRG adjustable levers came in today so now the clutch will not be so brutal!
Now I am looking for some Ducati events to ride in, hopefully something at the Indy round of Moto GP!

I just got back from the Ducks Along the Blue Ridge Rally on Monday. I took a couple extra days off of work, so my wife and I rode about 1300 miles by the time we got home.

Typically, the rally consists of everyone getting together on Friday evening for registration and pizza and sodas that are furnished by US Desmo. Afterward, there is the general BS sessions in the parking lot with gawking of the bikes. On Saturday, there is usually a continental breakfast supplied by the hotel, and then you take off on a suggested route for a 200-300 mile ride. Most people team up to ride in small groups, but occasionally some people will ride by themselves. Halfway through the route, there is a recommended eatery for lunch. When you get back to the hotel, if there is time, you do the general BS'ing about the days ride and await dinner. Dinner is brought in, or on occasion a tour bus may be rented to take us to a catered meal somewhere, and we enjoy a nice Italian dinner. After dinner, there is a drawing for the door prizes that were donated by various businesses. Generally, there are enough prizes that everyone gets something. This past rally, my wife got a book and I got a K&N air filter. In the past we've gotten T-shirts. This one also had a brand new HJC helmet that the first winner grabbed and at a previous event, NPR Ducati donated a lether Ducati jacket that went quickly. After this, it's general socializing until bed.
