On a tip from our reader, who is a passionate ducatista, we give you this patriotic Italian post-script to the Monster Day in Belgium.

If there were 405 Belgian owners of Ducati Monster models out for the Monster Day, the Italians generally go one step further, in 2005 for example, making it 998 - what a magic number!

The event was originally developed in 2003 by MaleDucati, when the owners who attended were already at 350. After the 2005 invasion, the event was held in Rimini 2007 with bad weather, though 815 Ducatisti still attended. Where else would you expect the real Ducati fan base to be but in Italy?

Thanks to Peter for the tip.
