A&S BMW Motorcycles Events Calendar
NO THIRD THURSDAY CYCLE FEST TONIGHT
Hey Everyone,
We wanted to let you know that we're not going to have our Cycle Fests every third Thursday anymore. Instead, our events are going to rotate around, in an effort to allow everyone a chance to attend. But don't worry, we'll have just as many interesting events as we've always had and often more than one event per month. For example, since BMW is entering the World Super Bike Series this year on the S 1000 RR, and with Ducati racing in both WSB and the MotoGP series, (If you haven’t heard, A&S is now a Ducati dealer) we’re going to host every single race at the dealership. You’re invited to come and watch with friends and even participate in a 'Race Pool' that will cost you nothing, but you’ll be able to win prizes each week and huge prizes at the end of each series! (Stay tuned for specific details.)
Please check the calendar above for our full calendar for the year. Of course there may be a few events that pop-up here and there, so check back often, and be sure that you sign-up on our
local e-mail list to receive reminders about upcoming events:

Recap of Ducati Open House
Fun was had by all this past Saturday at our first Ducati Open House. It was definitely a soft-launch for us, as we still have a lot of construction to undergo, and gear to arrive. However, the M1100 was here as promised and quite a few of you took her for a spin, and all of you came back with sore cheeks from the smiles on your faces. As always, Phil reincarnated a few bikes with his suspension-tuning talents and the line never seemed to get shorter. A special thanks to the
Gold Country Dual Sport Riders for flipping burgers and grillin' dogs - in fact they were soooo yummy, we ate every last one!
Here's a really neat video Dan, an awesome customer of ours, compiled that's proof positive of just how much fun we had.
A&S Ducati Open House Jan. 10th
A&S DUCATI INVITES YOU TO THE MONSTER 1100 S NATIONAL PREMIERE WEEKEND

In typical A&S style, we're opening our doors for an open house that promises to be memorable. What's in store?
Aftershocks Suspension Phil Douglas:
Due to overwhelming demand, Phil will be here on-site to custom tune your bikes suspension to fit you and your unique riding style. Charging a reduced rate of only $20, you can't pass up this opportunity!
BBQ Lunch:
Our infamous barbeque lunch will be complementary once again. Bon appetite!
Bikes, Bikes and more Bikes:
Although we've just opened our Ducati doors, we have plenty of bikes on the floor!
Parts, Apparel and Accessories:
We're still getting ramped up in this area, but we'll have a sample of what you can expect in the weeks to come.
Debut of the Monster 1100 S
The bike that started the naked bike revolution has been reborn and is, once again, breaking all the rules. The new Monster weighs in at an astonishing 47lbs less than its closest class competitor and the power of its 1100cc air-cooled engine give it an impressive power-to-weight ratio. The M1100 S combines the carnal nakedness of the original Monster with the latest technology and styling. An icon of individuality, features like removable tank panels make the M1100 S the perfect platform for personalization.
Where:
A&S Ducati
1125 Orlando Avenue
Roseville, CA 95661
When:
Saturday, January 10th from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Motorcycle Spooktacular
Don't miss our
2nd Annual Motorcycle Spooktacular featuring the Motorcycle Costume Contest! Last year's contest was a hoot and if you remember, we gave
$150 to the first place winner, $100 for second, and $50 for third, so get creative and dress up that motorcycle!!! Also, we'll have free lunch cooked by the River City Beemers, music and treats!
OCTOBER CYCLE FEST: 10-16-2008
Hone Your Skills: Advanced Riding Techniques
October 16th Cycle Fest 6:30 p.m. -
Bill Cruz of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation will be teaching us the following skills: Quick Stop, Brake and Evade, Riding Posture for Cornering and Distance Perception for Braking. You’ll have a chance to practice all of these in our parking lot with Bill! As you know, with the rise in gas prices, we’re seeing more and more new and returning riders hitting the streets. This means a couple of things: Veteran riders are going to find themselves next to a brand-new rider, folks who used to be veterans might not want to admit their skills are a little rusty, and primarily – those veteran riders definitely don’t want to admit they might need to sharpen their skills. With that said, each and every one of us shouldn’t miss this opportunity to learn from Bill!
