Hey guys

This year the Quail Motorcycle Gathering will have a special display celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Monster. If you’ve never been to this event, it is pretty special and this year would be a great opportunity to do a Monster meetup/ride/gathering surrounding the event. In short, I am thinking we could organize a ride with two legs (SoCal and NorCal) that come together somewhere in Carmel or Monterey in the days prior to the event. I can work on finding a host hotel, dinner spots, riding routes, etc., but wanted to gauge interest. If you’re interested, respond to this thread and as things develop, I will add details here.

Here’s some info on the Quail Motorcycle Gathering:

Date: Saturday, May 4, 2013
Time: 10:00am – 3:30pm

FYI: Ducati has organized for Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to open up the track for us to do some parade laps the Friday before the event!

Truck them all the way to Quail or just to our starting point?

I wish I knew. Our loose itinerary is leave early on the 2nd to point TBD. then play it by ear. My wife and I have to have a sit down to plan. But gosh darn it we'll be there. Sadly not bringing her bike and she just wants to putt around and relax. Again we need to plan.

West Coast Monster Gathering Update

Great news about parking at The Quail Motorcycle Gathering!

On the day of the event, Ducati Monster owners will have the most premium parking at the event, a designated area on the fairway grass directly in front of the main entrance. Ducati will provide kickstand pucks. Lets represent with an army of Monsters!

We’re one week out and have more than 30 riders planning to join throughout the trip. Would be great to have more! Right now, the group doing the trip in its entirety (Newport to Carmel) is about 10 folks. Where are the SoCal Monster folks at?
