owner/rider Larry Pegram will be on  hand to sign autographs and answer questions.

On Friday, March 7 from  10am-5pm; the Island will host Ducati.net’s  annual 
DucatiDayDaytona party (DDD). DDD 2008 will have numerous activities for  fans 
to check out, such as the first round of the Ducati Superbike Concorso- a  
contest putting the top Ducati’s in the country against each other for a VIP  
trip to Italy; a Hypermotard stunt  exhibition, Ducati show and shine and two 
performances of the ever popular  Ducati Fashion Show. The Ducati Owners Clubs 
of the South East will also have a  strong presence, coordinating Ducati 
University: a series of informative  technical discussions revolving around the 
Ducati brand.    

Another special  guest of the festivities will be Roland Sands, former AMA 
Champion and Custom  Bike Builder. Roland will be attending DDD on Friday
