DucatiDayDaytona 2009 on Ducati Island

Best one yet? That's what I kept hearing all day. There were an awful lot of things to make me think it might have been, not the least of which was the professional stunt riders aweing the crowd and Nicky Hayden catching a snack in the hospitality tent before signing autographs. Or Barber's bringing "Deja Blue" because Cook Neilson was coming. So yes, maybe it was the best one yet. Take a look for yourself and see what you think......

Things get started on the island early in the week, it's really more of a village of tents and vendors and takes time to get organized. That's the apparel tent that Ducati Daytona set up.
