NEC - Today - Ducati Photos

[Julie]

Well I was lucky enough to be one of the 100 who's photo was used and I got my Key Ring and Umbrella

I also Spotted Rally - JP (who you can see on the photo) And Albie

It was lovely to see 20 years of the monster

I can honestly say - Buying a Ducati Monster 10 years ago - Joining this club has changed my life! I had a very emotional moment looking at the old Ducati monsters realising how much buying a Ducati monster changed my life. My job. My friends. My holidays. My hobbies. My travels. My life. Just because I bought a Ducati monster 10 years ago and met some truly inspiring people who I can call my closest friends.

[uksurfer]

is that a foggy S4 lurking in the middle of the row?

[Julie]

Yes - ALL of the bikes were lovely (and they said one of them is for sale - not sure which one)

[slob]

Glad you liked it! It was quite a task trying to find close to standard bikes, the generosity of club members (as ever) was immense.

The S4R is for sale at Ducati Manchester.

[Pomp1]

Submitted only one picture and I've made onto the wall. Quite pleased..:)

tank decal?

[Albie]

I seem to have been lucky to have appeared and Rally kindly picked a brolly for me. I also see that Carolines which I asked her to send in has appeared but we recieved no letter in post to be able to picke up a prize with. I wonder where that letter went as must be why also not recieved the keyfob for entering. I wonder if someone chavved it as they come in Ducati branded envelopes ????

I wish I could have gone but I have to go to work. Well done Ducati UK and UKMOC etc for showing great bikes and pics to the UK

Mate,
I have your brolly and a key ring for Caroline as well. They wouldn't let me have a 2nd brolly without the letter though. A great display and day out.

[singletrack]

I can see mine. Woop

Is yours the one at the far end?

[uksurfer]

Is yours the one at the far end?

i think Doms on about photo?

Ahh! Stupid me :banghead:

Hey I appreciate the effort you made. At the end of the day its a £5 brolly so no big deal. The big deal is I never got the letter to pass on. Maybe el presidente can persuede them its genuine. Why would I lie about it. Maybe Mr Maccabee can sort me as I send him a calendar gratis.

No worries.:mand::mand:

[d8mok]

Yeh I'm on about the photo. Not the bikes. Lol

[uksurfer]

i'll have one if anybody dont want theres :mand:

Mine's next to yours! They really are very clean and shiny, all ready for Spring!

[BeePee]

why were there no newer models on display ? 1100s evo etc ?

[bolds]

The older bikes on show go up to 2008 anything newer than that is pretty much the same as the current models which are on display there also

[simon_g]

Really looking forward to visiting the stand on Tuesday. I've spotted myself on the photo board!

This one from the Mallory trackday last year:

[slob]

Jinx and Albert a top pair of blokes, the technicians at Ducati UK.

[He11cat]

Do they clean houses ???? I need some help ! :)

[scrapps]

Leaving early tomorrow morning and heading up to the NEC and check out all the bikes and bling. :mand:

[throstle]

My baby made it onto the wall to. Off to collect my brolly on thursday.

[DrD]

Mine's on the wall but I cannot make it to NEC!

[throstle]

Got my brolly :-)

Just noticed on the 20th anniversary site, the Ducati lady is pointing at my bike on the wall

Fame is mine at last.

[tricolore]

I went to the NEC today, the ducati stands were excellent, the 20th anniverary tribute impressive.

The rest of the show was depressingly poor, I was in and out in an hour and half. Its the last time for me :mad:

[singletrack]

I went today and enjoyed it.

The Ducati stand was impressive, as was the BMW stand.
I cocked my leg over the new Hypermotard and cracked my knee on the rear seat cowl. I was nowhere near as impressed with it as with the old 1100 HYM. The style and riding position were not as good, and I couldnt live with that evil seat cowl!

The KTMs and Husqvarnas were great though :hail:

The Metisse stand and the Watsonian stand were brilliant. Hand built quality, sound familiar ?

Familiar...but kinda distant.
Is this a flashback ?
Next you'll be telling me that those "Quasar" things are weird.

[revver]

We went on saturday and had a good day sat on loads of different bikes (not all ducatis) but the wife loved this royal enfield

Absolutely.
Similarly, I was quite a fan of the bikes that "Free More Cycles" used to make, though I'm not sure that they're still in business.
My Norton Commando is destined to become something along those lines......eventually.
