Gary rode on his Ducati Multistrada motorcycle from the northern most point in Alaska to the southern most point in Florida;- a total of 5,632 miles (9,063 kilometers) in 4 days 5 hours!

We will have his 118k ST3 on display for this event.

In an effort to continue to bring you seminars and clinics that help you in your riding experiences, Gary will present two presentations during the day. The 10:00 presentation will be "The Three "B's"

It's a presentation Gary worked up at the request of the AMA and gave it in four seminars during last summers AMA Vintage Days at Mid Ohio. In this presentation, he will go over every aspect of preparing one's Body, Bike & Brain (Hence the Three Bs) for more effective and enjoyable riding.

Ergonomic considerations in bike preparation, physical preparation from exercising to nutrition to clothing and then mental "tuning" to make the miles flow more easily.

This isn't just aimed at long distance types, but toward anyone who rides any type of bike. All four sessions at the AMA in Ohio were "sold out."

YOU CAN"T MISS THIS! The second presentation at 2:00 is Gary's photo and philosophical ramblings about sport touring. Gary's premise is that the US is in a state of flux, and the opportunity to find pockets of the "Old America" is on the wane, especially in the midwest's former farming and ranching belts. The motorcycle is the way to accomplish this, similar to the way our old hero TV & movie cowboys roamed on their horses, from his perspective, as motorcycles seem to invite sometimes "wary" strangers to strike up communications. Gary has pictures (about 80 or so) from rides & locales throughout the US, Canada, New Zealand, South America and Europe. This is simply a moto/philosophical picture show that will be very entertaining.

Both presentations are open for random involvement from the audience. Nothing formal, and anyone is invited to ask questions, offer their own experiences and get involved in any way possible.

Gary will be be here all day signing autographs and sharing his experiences with you.

How to safely remove your wheel and tire and make emergency repairs while out.

This seminar is on March 23rd at 6:00 pm.

Light snacks and drinks will be provided. Door Prize will be drawn for. Must be present to win.

As a result, the Multistrada carves up mountain passes like a race bike, but is still comfortable for hours of two-up adventure touring. This perfect balance appeals to a wide range of riding styles, from the most aggressive to more relaxed. Capable of showing up even the most specialized of sport bikes, the Multistrada is also accessible to new riders. The bike exceeds the expectations of any enthusiast who rides it.

The Multistrada's outstanding performance is the result of more than innovative design. Its 992 cc engine and the use of the highest quality Superbike components throughout also are key. The Multistrada 1000 DS combines: the signature Ducati trellis frame, our best Superbike suspension with more travel, race-bred brakes and lightweight alloy wheels with high-performance street tires. It has a lightweight, aluminum, single-sided swingarm and a compact and narrow fairing to provide protection from the elements.

A full line of accessories -- like color-matched saddlebags, rear rack, satellite navigation system and taller windscreen -- lets you further extend your boundaries.
