WE ARE 1000
We are one thousand Paso owners. We are now the centre of the Ducati Paso world. This is Mike Roten, who made it possible, and we thank him
here's an old pic of me and the gal that used to be my contact for clubs at ducati. this was a great day in paso history
This is a list of just over one hundred of us, who have made more than two or three posts each. You can see some of the faces in ‘Forum Faces’, (‘Off Topic’). My favourite is the one of Jake (fasterdammit) dancing with his daughter Sydney at Peggy’s Cove during their summer break last year:

We have built an interesting, friendly, helpful, and creative community here, based on a unique classic motorcycle which offers a combination of features in a road machine which is hard to match. Through ducatipaso.org, we can keep our machines on the road. We need to organize limited manufacture of some parts, like mirror pods and instrument case tops, for ourselves.
Good luck everybody

I am working on them at this minute, Rogero. I'm very sorry about the delay. I wanted to revise the attachment system a little, and when one sets out to make a dozen or so, rather than two or three, one wants to be really sure of everything. Also, with quantity, production process problems surface, and have to be solved. And I'm too old to work fast now. Once these initial orders are shipped, I'll only have to make one or two at a time, so then there should be minimal delay. Sorry again.

OK. Today I shipped out all the initial orders for Paso Pins, received between March 14 and today. They're going airmail and should arrive with their owners within a few days. I'm very sorry about the delay.
It was important to me to send out the first three, to fasterdammit, DuCMaN, and Rod Ormsby, whose orders were received within hours of the site reaching 1000 members, and for which I happened to have three blanks available, as soon as possible. The ones they got are a little special, good, maybe a bit 'quirky' (though I'm not signing and numbering the pins as faster suggested - hell, they're not that good!) but the ones I've just sent out are revised and better. The fronts are just the same, and they will sit just as trim on the lapel, but the DESMOMATIC attachment systems on the back are better - rock solid and more secure on the lapel - the very best I can do.
I will probably be sending the final quality versions to faster, DuC, and Rod, in due course.
The orders received have just about covered my set-up costs, which is great. I have a few more blanks still on hand if anyone else wants one.
