DEMO RIDES @ GBMC --- A HUGE THANK YOU!!!

Thanks for making our Annual Triumph Demo Day event a smashing success! We had over 160+ rides during our two day event. It was great seeing some many new faces experience the latest & greatest from Triumph Motorcycles! Including the all-new Triumph Thunderbird. If you haven't had a chance to ride this bike DO SO ASAP! It is a smooth, powerful, & excellent handling cruiser with plenty of good looks. It certainly was the high-light of the demo event.

Track Day FUN aka ... Ducati Revs New England!

Track Day Fun
Ducati Rev’s New England

Track Day Round Up

June 1^st, 2009 – Loudon, NH.

We just rolled out from a fanatastic track day at New
Hampshire Motor Speedway. This years Ducati Rev’s New England was attended by
over 80 Ducatisi who enjoyed exhilarating fun on the track and camaraderie in
the pits. The event is hosted by Ducati and select Ducati dealers and run by the
great folks at Penguin Racing.

The morning was not warm and some of us actually felt cold
as we walked around the speedway on our track walk led by head Penguin
Instructor Eric Wood. The first part of the course has been changed because of
construction and now there is a chicane on the Nascar track, so walking the
track was basically essential if you wanted to understand the changes.

We went out for our sessions and most us liked the new
turns. The day alternates between classroom sessions and riding sessions and you
apply what you as the day goes along. We had an excited crew with us that was a
mix of staff members and customers. Two of our factory trained and certified
Ducati technicians Paul and Ryan, helped everyone get their bikes ready, and
provided everyone with a huge jolt of enthusiasm. We had a mix of Superbikes and
Hypermotards. Ryan riding his Hyper, did a great job of challenging the boys on
the 4 valvers, but their superior power showed itself on the tracks straights.

The time we spend together between sessions in the garages
is definitely a big part of the experience. The discussions range from the last
session, to who is faster, to the cool Streetfighter out on the track, to just
giving each other the usual hard time. One of our customers sent us the
following email, and this pretty much encapsulates what a first track day can do
for someone.

“I just
want to thank you again for inviting me to the track day on Mon. I had a great
time as well as my buddy Jason. We have some great pictures that I will probably send to you to post on the website if you want. It was truly an experience that every Ducati owner should have. I had no idea what the 848 could actually do. I would love to go again next year(maybe sooner). I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate you guys helping me out with my first track day. The bottled water, removing my mirrors, taping the bike, loading and unloading the bike.... all of this was a huge help to me. It really shows the passion that you guys have for this lifestyle. I'm starting to remember some of the guys names, but please thank them for all the help and encouragement throughout the day.”

It sure sounds like he had a great day doesn’t it? The sound of a Ducati track days is unlike anything else. The sound of a Desmosedici on the front straight is
intoxicating, and the sounds of multiple superbikes around the course is rhythmic music. If you have never tried a track day we encourage you to do so.
Check out the good folks at Penguin (penguinracing.com) for race school and the
folks at Fishtail (fishtailridingschool.com) for a great track day experience.

So if you care to join us at next years Ducati Rev’s New England we would love to have
you. If you don’t have a Ducati yet, and especially if you have never
experienced the joy of riding a Ducati come visit us at Great Bay Ducati. We
have demo Ducati’s available for helping you experience first hand why you
should have a Ducati. We can help get you on a Ducati and on the right track……
