Just got back from Cafe Desmo. The wife and I had a blast! The whole event was just awesome. Met a lot of people, a lot of compliments on the bike, which is always nice.
The only complaint I have is the bike show was a fucking joke! They had 1 judge per category and the judge for the Superbike class was a old man in his 70's that skimmed over anything that didnt have Ducati writen on it. He spent no more than 5 seconds on each bike and wrote down 3 pieces of info per bike. Then they just gave the prizes as they saw fit! Even a Pro Italia employee won a first place price........:wtf: Will not take my bike to their show again!
Other than that, everything els was very fun. Only 3 MV's in the bike show, all F4's. Wish we had a bigger turnout. There were a bunch of MV's that did the ride but were not in the show (guess now I know why......)
The ride up the Crest was amazing, I mean we had Police escorts and we got to run every stop sign on the way to Newcomb's Ranch, and they bike cops kept a very fast pace not slowing us down I even had a CHP officer in a car behind me tell me "you are going too slow, speed up or let me pass!" I was way over the speed limit too, I just didnt want to push my luck, but that comment changed that real quick
The concert at the Ranch was pretty good, the band was not half bad. The same could not be said for the sandwitches though...
Anyway, here are some pics from today
