It’s a Ducati party that includes a Ducati display, girls, food, wine and a free concert of music by a mix of top Italian musicians. The concert, free for Ducati owners, is at a different venue (6 miles from the Italian Cultural Institute) named the “Music Box at the Fonda”. Ducati owners can get two free tickets valued at $50 each. When they arrive they must provide id and proof of Ducati ownership (bike registration) to pick up the tickets, which gets them into the Fonda Theater for two days, the 16th and the 17th, as well as the Ducati party.

You taking the Hyper? Better bring a gas can if you plan to take the 1.

Hit me up when you get here ... it's supposed to be beautiful on Saturday and despite having my 749S dismantled for track duty I do happen to have a Brutale in the chamber. Gimmie a call and I'll pull the trigger.
