Ladies and Gentlemen...
Last year, some of you may remember, there was a get-together at Jack's Hill cafe followed by a one-hour rideout for those Ducatisti lucky enough to own a SS. Known unofficially as the "Gathering of the Clan", it was an entertaining way to spend half a day in the company of fellow Ducati owners, and put faces to two names of some more of the nice people on this site. And of course, despite the name, all Ducatis were welcome.
So the purpose of this post is to find out what interest there is in doing something similar again.

So...
The proposed date is Sunday August 24th meet 1100 for 1130 start

The plan is for a meet at a cafe followed by a roughly one-hour rideout ending back at the start point.

The venue
Auntie Ruth's Diner on the A5 at Hinckley
google map here

Open to Anyone with a Ducati, but especially Supersport riders. (Actually, there were a couple of non-Ducs last time, and that went well so I'd suggest we include those who ask, but I'm happy to leave that decision to the attendees)

If you are interested, please post on this thread and I will summarise from time to time.

Here are some pics from the 2007 gathering

Dicky If DB and Jamo want to meet up en route that's fine with me. Where is the Little chuff that DB mentioned. Or you are welcome to meet at mine.
Cheers
