Ciao All from Bologna!

   I have had the pleasure of viewing pre'production versions of both
the Paul Smart and the Sport today!  Both are truly stunning machines.
I can tell those that have orders in place that you will NOT be
disappointed!!

   I will get more details in the days to come ..

See Ya

Hello All,

Nice to find a group of sportclassic owners out there. I put a
deposit down on a Smart 1000 in February of '04, with Ducati Seattle.
I was told I was "first in line" locally, but from what I've heard,
they are not keeping a company "waiting list"...
My current ride is a '99 750 SS (half-faired).
As Woz mentioned in one of his emails, I've been trying to start a
club for Paul Smart owners for over a year (with the help of John
Clelland at ducatiowners.com), but was having a hard time finding
fellow owners. I've built a beta version of a website, which you can
browse at:

http://www.artificialbutter.com/psoc/

I've also been in touch with the factory. They are interested in
getting the club registered, so if there's interest out there let me
know, and I can do the paperwork. We also discussed trying to
organize a visit to the factory when production starts, though this
might be hard to arrange given the state of the dollar these days !

For those who have not seen it, the Ducati North America website has
a photo of the production run model with the green frame.

Hello all,
Sorry I couldn't write to sooner but obiligations.
I had truly Ducati event this past Tuesday when I joined fellow Duc
riders from DESMO group in NYC area for grand opening of Ducati NYC.
About 30+ Ducs running down concrete canyon in Soho was sight and ears
to hold. We really stopped NYC traffic cold! And dealership had parking
in front of store clear for us.
Inside was a cutting edge showroom befitting DUCATI motorcycles. Food
and drinks a plenty (I had H2O ;) ) and DJ spinning cool tunes turned
this opening experience something of club experience.
Of course Sport classic were on display but they weren't production
model according to Mr. Locke. However, I was able to touch and examine
many parts and realize so many parts were same as my mhe model. I was
disappointed that there weren't any race bikes but Neil Hodgson and Eric
Bostrom was there to sign autographs and pose photos with many of us.
Over all, I am happy to see DUCATI back in NYC and owner took care to
make it DUCATI NYC. Now only if I can get them to make decal " DUCATI
MANHATTAN " that I will have on my 749R.
After late dinner in the city I came back home around 2AM, 620 miles
later. I hope PS is as comfortable as my 749R is...
I will post photos as soon as possible but meanwhile some photo can be
found on desmoducati.org under event NYC.

I am in Berlin, it is just south of Cherry Hill, from
Harold and Kumar go to White Castle fame.  Exit 4 off
the TP.  I am always up for a ride.  Except this
weekend.  have fun at the opening.

Yes, unfortunately I don't want to hold on to Mhe once I get PS. I will
be taking delivery of PS from Riverside Motorsports near Boston and they
told me end of this year as possibility but I think it's going to be
more like next spring.
I am looking forward to tomorrow night's function and I will upload
photos as soon as possible. Is all the member from west coast? Anyonne
from around northeast?

--chrisdhwang

Hi Chris,

Welcome aboard.  Couple of questions:  Are you going
to get rid of your MHe (you mentioned 'replace') and
from which dealer will you be taking delivery of your
PS Rep?

Look forward to your photos.  Wonder if it'll be the
original prototype or one of the first batch.
Terblanche says the production item is almost
identical to the prototype.  The paint's going to be
the big giveaway.  In the meantime, here are some
photos I took of the Sportclassics at the NEC show in
Birmingham, November '03.

Hello Fellow Ducati Sport Classic Enthusiasts!

Here's the answer to the questions, as I'm still working on my first post.
I figured that I would get in now however and fill you in...

I started my purchase a year ago (March 2004) with Ducati of Modesto when
the first opportunity to order was available.  I met a chap in Monterey 2004
at Ducati Island, when I was with John Clelland and the Ducati Owner's Club
representative from Italy (both fellows names have escaped me, however the
guy wishing to start the Paul Smart DOC was from Oregon or Washington if I
remember correctly.  John should have his name, and we should get him on
this list)

I have received the letter from Federico Minoli (a form letter, with the
Sport Classic brochure) thanking me for my order, and telling me of a
special website with special and confidential information for the Sport
Classic owners.  I have not received any information about this website and
I can't remember my password, etc. to get in if I did find it.

Here are the answers to your questions....

Model -  Ducati Paul Smart 1000 Limited Edition (green frame, Ohlins, etc!
yeah!)
Dealer - Ducati of Modesto, California
Location - Modesto, California
Estimated Delivery Date - November 2005

Oh yeah, I almost forgot that I'll be at Infineon Raceway (Formerly Sears
Point) both tomorrow and Friday for the free practice days for the Superbike
event in May.  Friday is the media day, so that's the day to get there if
possible.

I'll also be at the Oakland HOG meeting tomorrow night in San Leandro at the
Straw Hat Pizza Parlor at 14680 Washington Avenue putting on a presentation
of Harley Owners' Group memorabilia, pins, patches, etc. with the former
director of the Oakland HOG group.   That's after I get back from the
racetrack.

You're welcome to join me anytime, anywhere.

Hello Fellow Ducati Sport Classic Enthusiasts!

Here's the answer to the questions, as I'm still working on my first post.
I figured that I would get in now however and fill you in...

I started my purchase a year ago (March 2004) with Ducati of Modesto when
the first opportunity to order was available.  I met a chap in Monterey 2004
at Ducati Island, when I was with John Clelland and the Ducati Owner's Club
representative from Italy (both fellows names have escaped me, however the
guy wishing to start the Paul Smart DOC was from Oregon or Washington if I
remember correctly.  John should have his name, and we should get him on
this list)

I have received the letter from Federico Minoli (a form letter, with the
Sport Classic brochure) thanking me for my order, and telling me of a
special website with special and confidential information for the Sport
Classic owners.  I have not received any information about this website and
I can't remember my password, etc. to get in if I did find it.

Here are the answers to your questions....

Model -  Ducati Paul Smart 1000 Limited Edition (green frame, Ohlins, etc!
yeah!)
Dealer - Ducati of Modesto, California
Location - Modesto, California
Estimated Delivery Date - November 2005

Glad to be among you.  By now you guys with orders in
will all have received the same from Ducati, but just
in case, here's part of a message I wrote to the
bevelheads group two weeks ago:

"Got another letter from Federico Minoli this evening
that said, in part:

'The great news is that the production of the bikes
will be ahead of schedule, with both the Paul Smart
1000 and the Sport 1000 being delivered the last
quarter of 2005, and the GT1000 in late spring 2006.
The development team has done a superb job by
delivering the Sport 1000 more than 6 months early and
the GT1000 more than a year ahead of schedule."

The package also contained a Ducati SportClassic
bandana in PS Rep colors.  Nice touch.

There was also a brochure describing the 2005 Motogiro
(24-28 May from Cattolica in Rimini to Gradara in
Pesaro-Urbino).

In closing, Minoli said "thank you for your trust in
and enthusiam for Ducati." '

OK, so they're not making bevels anymore and this may
be a paragraph out of HD's book - but I like it all
the same."

All the best,
