Title: Long Beach Motorcycle Show
Post by: Mk1inCali on December 01, 2006, 11:41:01 PM
It's next weekend.  Google it, you lazy.


I'm there, along with some other Ducati.ms members.  Either Sat or Sunday.  Riding the ST2 slab-style up from SD.  Anybody is welcome to join in on the fun.

Uffda...free tix and breakfast...I might have to go for that.

Is that place downtown and pretty famous for it's breakfast?  Little greasy hole-in-the-wall?

I was born in IA, lived in Madison, WI for ~7 years, then moved to St. Cloud, MN for 8 years then realized I hate cold and came to California.


I'll be there Sunday.  Pablo, want to PM me the details of when to meet or want me to just post that I saw you but didn't say anything, again?

 :mad:   Oh I'm pissed.   :mad:


Talked to my dad/mom and they are going to be new-bike-shopping there since I mentioned it.  (Dad is turning 50 11 days after I turn 22 next Wednesday, and NEVER been to a moto trade show).

How much bullshit is that?

Anyway, no worries Pablo, it's cool, only 10 bucks.  I'll be there anyway, then take off to meet up with the folkses at the show after we grub.
Title: Re: Long Beach Motorcycle Show
Post by: pantablo on December 07, 2006, 03:59:56 PM

Post by: TragicImage on December 07, 2006, 05:12:47 PM

I love you....... but we need to ride....


don't worry about Tickets for me.... I don't mind paying.

And heads up 8 bucks to park a cage, free to park your bike.

Post by: Mk1inCali on December 07, 2006, 09:19:35 PM
Don't lose any sleep over it Pablo...I might be in college, but I'm looking at picking up a Ducati...I think I can handle the admission fee.


If you get some, cool.  If not, don't worry about it, and like Tragic said, thanks for thinking of us in the first place!


I think I'm going to run out towards Idyllwild on my way home...I hate coming back to SD on the 405 or 5.  Yuck.


Anyway, couple guys have posted up picts from the Seattle show...should be a good time with lots of pretty things to look at (and take pictures of!!!)

Title: Re: Long Beach Motorcycle Show
Post by: Mk1inCali on December 09, 2006, 06:00:53 PM
I'll probably get there a bit early, leaving SD at 7:30, and it shouldn't take more than 1:15 or so to get there if I can do ~80 whole way.

Tragic, you bastard!

it would be nice to meet in wla but I have too many other people to coordinate meeting so the only way to do it is if you're driving your own car you can meet me and my friends at my office at am...and we can caravan down. doesnt make much sense but if you're willing, there you have it.
3008 lincoln blvd, santa monica...several blocks south of the 10fwy, almost to Rose.

good to see you anthony. nice bike...chicken and waffles...yummy. 1098-YUMMY.
Title: Re: Long Beach Motorcycle Show
Post by: Mk1inCali on December 11, 2006, 01:35:47 AM
Real cool day.  Glad I could make it up to meet all you B.T.E. guys.  I think my birthday (it's this Wednesday) and X-mas combo present is going to end up being either a 2-piece zip-together suit , Lasic, or a 900SS/SP with Termi high mounts (obviously I'd need to pay for most of the last option).


Dad is set on getting the 1100 MS S version with full Ohlïns suspension, SSSA, some aftermarket full exhaust system and ECU custom-mapped for it.  Should be fun to steal that thing and compare to the 900 or ST2.



Yes, 1098=very hot.  I dig the fact that it is lighter, not heavier than the previous incarnations.  I think Ducati really needs to keep part of their attraction in their lighter weight/simplicity as compared to the Jap bikes.
