There have been two of these now and based on the turnout and atmosphere, I think it's going to stick and we finally have a Euro bike night and (miracle!) it's mostly Ducati's. About 35 people came out last Thursday - maybe 17 or 18 Ducs. (Guys/Girls were riding in from Miami and Palm Beach, Chris Boy's group showed up with some flipped out 1098's and the whole gang from Pure Ducati came over after work) Grumpy Gators lets the bikes park on the front sidewalk so you can eat and drink at the side tiki bar and still be only steps from the bikes and other riders looking at them. It's working out perfect for seeing who is riding what and meeting new people. 2 for 1 drinks and 1/2 priced appetizers too - I stayed 3 1/2 hours and spent $6 plus tip. Most people roll in around 7, last week the weather was nice so they were still coming in at 10, when I left (at 10) there were still 7 or 8 Ducati's out front.
