[Ducati] Rent a Ducati launching, looking for feedback

[2vtwin at comcast.net]

I'm trying to start a MC Tour company here in the Mid-atlantic, Two Lane Fun Motorcycle tours. I know all the great roads and have experimented with folks I know, the local Ducati Club, and those who ride with me regularly. My target is experienced riders only for these tours. My thoughts were to start small and then build it into an almost full-time enterprise for my semi-retirement. I have confirmed the local market, found insurance, and based on a survey decided on the following initial inventory 2 Monster 696, 2 Monster S2R1000, and 2 MTS 1100, the latter for the taller riders. I would be curious to know what your survey said about interest in models, although I think a tour might be different than those that want to rent one. Thanks - Gene Hunt
