Dutch 851/888 Meeting, 21st May 2011

Remquo

On May 21st I'm having a Dutch 851/888 meeting in and around my shop. Starts 10 AM and at the end of the day there'll be a barbecue. Be welcome!

In Dutch:

Op 21 mei 2001 organiseert ARAL Motor Service een Ducati 851 888 meeting. Op deze dag staat de legendarische Superbike van de hand van Tamburini en het technisch vernuft van Bordi centraal. Bij het verschijnen van de 851 eind jaren 80 was het al meteen een klassieker. Ducati was in die tijd ook oppermachtig in het World Superbike kampioenschap. Namen als Lucchinelli, Polen, Falappa en Fogarty zullen dan ook altijd in 1 adem genoemd worden met Ducati's eerste vierklepper. Niet voor niets hebben deze machines vandaag de dag nog steeds een trouwe schare aan internationale fans.

Voor een drankje wordt gezorgd en u kunt zich via email tevens opgeven voor de barbecue aan het einde van de dag. Graag zien wij u en uw Superbike verschijnen!

Cheers,
Remco

Just before this weekend I decided to organise this meeting, so few people have replied. But it's almost 3 months from now, so who knows! In the past there have been some attempts to organise a meeting like this, I hope every Dutch (or maybe an international?) Superbike owner will show up. On another forum someone suggested to add up the mileages of all the bikes that show up; goal is to reach a million. Would be great!

Remco,

International will be no problem.
My Father is German, and he will be there with his '92 851.
So the first Foreigner is in.....😁

I'll be there...

Leuk initiatief. Ik ben ook al aan het nadenken over een register oid.
Zal er in ieder geval proberen te zijn. Ik hoop op meer SP rijders.

5 More weeks to go... It's nice to hear that people are talking about this meeting and that reporters from different (Dutch) motor magazines are interested in making a fotoshoot. Emails are coming in, even from South Africa but that fellow thinks he can't make it 😄 . If you have any ideas of what you'd expect from the meeting, please let me know. I want everyone to have a good day and to remember it for a long time.

Remco

PS: anyone got the phone number from a certain G. Falappa? I lost it 😁

Remquo

Only a few days 'till the meeting! So far 30 riders have confirmed, so it promises to be a good Saturday. The Dutch (motorcycle-)prees have also picked up word of the meeting, some magazines even send reporters.

If you might have plans to show op the 21st, please email me to let me know (just for preparation purposes)

Cheers,
Remco

That isn't a real ex-Meklau bike. I have had contact with the owner regarding some magnesium valve covers and he sent me some pics of his project. The engine cases and some engine parts are ex Meklau but the rest is a collection of 851, 888 and 916 (very nice racing) parts. For example the coolant-system has a 916 racing radiator and the frame is a modified 851 unit...
