Ducati Manchester do a ride out once a month on a Sunday from their store on washway road in Sale. They meet at around 0930 for breakfast next door before they set off.

The next one is on Sunday 24th May.

I'm thinking of going along, never been with them before but should be a giggle.

Anyone from here been with them before or fancy comming along ?

I've been meaning to have ago, just not sure of who to contact and timings etc.

It would be nice to go with another newbie so I'm up for it. Just post on here or send me a message etc if you still fancy it, same with anyone else and we can exchange mobile numbers etc.

I haven't been to the new dealership since it moved either so two birds with one stone as it were.

You just need to note that the store is actually on cross street, not washway road as this caused my some confusion the other week when i went to pick up a part from them.

Its going ahead, 10am start but people are meeting in the cafe next door at 0930 for a full english :D

Apparently most people park their bikes on the pavement at the front of the store on washway road as its quite large.

Weather looks good, see you there !!!!

Well, I left the house at 8:30 this morning with a clear blue sky above.
Quite amusing, a 1098s tricolour, vtr, 998r and 1100s all made it for the rideout. I felt a bit weedy with my bike but the guys kept a great pace with excellent control. I wrung my bikes neck at some
Points to keep up, but that's a good thing. I'll be joining the group again next month - cheers chaps.

170 miles in total in and b roads
