Hi from Reading
 

Hi there. My name is Alec and I have just signed on up to the club. I have a Ducati 749 and this is my first Ducati after having Japanese bikes since I was a lad. Hopefully I am going to get out on the next Sunday run and am looking forward to meeting up with other Ducati bods!

Welcome to the club Alec!

Your copy of Pronto magazine went in the post yesterday (as I posted it myself!) and your account has been upgraded to full membership status.

Your membership pack should arrive shortly :)

For now, make sure you get your name in the draw for the spot on the MotoGP dinner if you're interested... http://www.ducatisportingclub.com/sh...d.php?p=801681

And welcome from a 'Monkey Hanger' :lol:

Thanks for confirming that the mag is in the post - look forward to having a read. Ta also for the welcome and I look forward to meeting some fellow Ducati riders soon. Will just have to polish down the bike and get her warmed up for the weekend.

Hi, welcome to the family. We are meeting at Popham this weekend see you there if you go. There will be a few less as most of the members are racing at Pembrey this weekend. Keep an eye out for the short bloke trying to get off his Ducati. It wont be me I'll be the one stood there laughing at him :lol:

Craig

Hi Craig - thanks for the welcome. Is there any ride out from Newbury or are the local riders hitting Popham? Either way I am up for a blast out. What sort of time? I will be the tall bloke trying to look casual peeling himself off of his small Ducati.

Hi Alec. There is usualy a group of the Oxford crew that meet Newbury way usualy Nelsons Diner at Kingsclere or Mc D's at Newbury then ride on down to Popham. But they are at Pembry this weekend. Midday onwards people will turn up. There is another ride out from Loomies cafe in Hampshire with a few peeps riding into Popham. Believe it or not I'm coming by car this week as Just had a nose job:) and I cant put a helmet on yet or else I would have meet you and rode down.

(don't forget to ride all the way down to the club house - ignore the car park sign).

Some of us meet at Loomies Cafe GU32 1JX at 11:00 for the ride to Popham SO21 3BD.

PLEASE KEEP THE SPEED DOWN WHILST ON THE AIRFIELD ROAD
