Default 20th anniversary weekend for Pro Italia

Copied :


---------------------------


Pro Italia 20th Anniversary + Cafe Desmo weekend

Join us this Saturday, September 22nd to celebrate a 20 year love affair with exotic Italian motorcycles.

Saturday the 22nd
Our annual Cafe Desmo, a custom and vintage Italian bike show, raffles, prizes and giveaways, tech demonstrations, gear vendors, custom builder displays, brollie girls, food, PI racers and as many of the old staff, founders, early regulars that we can drag off the sofa! Events begin at 11am.

Featuring
· Ducati Demo Rides (The Ducati North America Duc Truck)
· Ducati GP4 MotoGP Bike
· Italian Customs Flight Motorcycles and 13 Choppers
· MotoGP Sweepstakes (Sign-up!)
· Suspension Clinic

Check out pics from past Cafe Desmos at proitalia.com. We've got images from 2006, others from 2005 and still more from 2004 . We've been fortunate to see tons of Ducatis, many of 'em beautifully customized, vintage MV's, Moto Guzzis, Moto Morinis, Laverdas and Aprilias, heck, even a Morbidelli. Rat bikes, Frankenbikes, race reps, showroom stockers, the odd Lamborghini, Ariel Atom and of course plenty of bikes from other parts of the globe. While the spotlight is on the Italian brands, everyone is welcome.

Sunday the 23rd
Slightly calmer, but we'll be open and awash in an anniversary glow and the Duc Truck will still be around offering demo rides.

Contact Pro Italia Sales at 818 249-5707 or sales@proitalia.com with any and all questions. Mark your calendars now.

Look here for the MapQuest address and you can select "Directions To" in blue and get directions right from home.

Pro Italia has such a great selection of Ducati parts, too bad I can't afford any of them

Pro It. is really a great place if you're looking for a Duc. I almost bought one from them earlier this year. They don't over price on used bikes and their used inventory on their website is usually up to date.

They're also open on Sundays so people can come in just to watch MotoGP and hangout.

She's sleeping well. Her mom is doing ok, but she's the one doing all the feeding. I'm there for the diaper duty, burping, changing, washing, and comforting. Oh, and the baby too.

The Hypermotard is a lot smaller than I expected. I didn't get a chance to test-ride, though, since the wait was pretty long (had to pick a time-slot...most of the bikes were completely booked already).

Because it looks pretty in the garage?

Please...no Ducatisti would risk electrical failure by riding their bikes in the wet. Or, touch turn signal wires together.

I rode mine for 2 hours in the 1 torrential downpour we had last year. Now that was some **** luck....

The Hypermotard looks sweet, now I'm kind of bummed out I bought a cagemobile.
