Subject: RE: Monster Challenge info

Dear John:

On behalf of Ducati North America, I'd like to thank you for your interest
in entering your bike in the upcoming Monster Challenge to be held at the
Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta. Your enthusiastic support for this
unique event is very much appreciated by all of us at Ducati.

I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you, as I will be
your main liaison for The Challenge. My name is Gary Eagan, and I'll be
available to you all weekend to ensure your experience at the event is a
pleasant one. I will be at the Monster Challenge booth from the show's
opening Friday afternoon, Jan. 7 through its close on Sunday, Jan 9 at 6
p.m..

To help you plan your weekend, there are a number of items you will need to
be aware of. Here is the vital information:

1. The show officialy opens at 4 p.m. Friday, Jan 7, however we will need
to have your Monster at the Cobb Galleria Centre, Two Galleria Parkway,
before 1 p.m. on Friday, or a bit earlier if possible. No motorcycles will
be allowed into the Galleria Centre after 1 p.m. Ducati will not be able to
provide any transportation for you after you drop your bike off, so please
be aware that arranging trasportation for the remainder of the weekend
will be your responsibility. When you arrive at the Centre, call
me on my cell phone and I will meet you and clear the way for your entry. My
cell number is: 801-792-2328.

2. Before your Monster will be allowed to be displayed, it must have the
battery disconnected and have no more than approximately one gallon of fuel
in the tank. So please bring adequate tools to enable you to disconnect
your battery. These requirements will be enforced by Galleria Centre
officials and Fire Marshalls at the show, and they have emphatically
indicated they will allow no exceptions.

3. Please deliver your bike as clean and polished as possible. We will have
some cleaning solutions and rags at the show site, but it would be much
easier for all concerned if your bike was show ready when delivered. It will
be appreciated if you can bring either a front or rear bike stand to make
your bike more stable and display better.

4. Your pass for the event will be waiting in "will call" at the
Exhibitor's Pass Desk in a file under "Ducati Monster Challenge" and your
name. If any problem arises, ask for either myself or Danny Carson.

5. Friday evening at 9 p.m., Ducati will host a dinner at Carrabbas Grill,
2999 Cumberland Blvd., SE, Carrabbas is within easy walking distance of the
Galleria Centre. You and one person of your choice will be guests of Ducati
North America. I will be at the restaurant at approximately 8:45 p.m. and
will look forward to greeting you and your guest at the restaurant. As
mentioned, dinner for you and your guest will be on DNA, however if you
wish to consume alcoholic beverages, they will not be provided by Ducati. A
cash bar will be made available at the location. Tell them you are with
Ducati when you arrive, and they will show you to the room we have
arranged. The restaurant's phone number is 770-437-1444.

6. VERY IMPORTANT: Rules set by Show Officials will make it impossible for
you to remove your Monster from the site before the event's end Sunday at 6
p.m., and all bikes must be removed from the Center before 7:00 p.m. They
will make no exceptions to their rules under any circumstance,and we will be
powerless to intervene. So make certain you plan accordingly. This rule is
applied event wide, and is written in stone!

7. Bike judging will be conducted early Sunday afternoon, and the winners
will be announced at approximately 2:30-3:00 p.m. A "People"s Choice" winner
will be determined by ballots cast by attendees during the show. A panel of
judges will determine the Overall Winner, as well as Second and Third place
finishers. The Judges will also choose one Monster from the entrants as a
"wild card" designation, and that bike has a chance to become one of four
"wild card" machines we will take to Daytona for the final judging during
Bike Week in early March. "Wild Card" candidates will be named at all 8
Monster Challenge venues, with four ultimately being chosen.

8. The winner and his/her Monster will be taken to Daytona for the
Ducati gala to be held in conjunction with the Daytona 200 and Bike Week in
March, 2005. If your bike is chosen as the Overal Judge's Winner, Ducati
will fly you to Daytona to join the winners of the other regional
competitions. During the Ducati party at Daytona, the overall winner of The
Challenge will be named and receive a 2005 Ducati Monster S 4R. We will
arrange return of the bike you entered in the Monster Challenge after the
Daytona festivities. If you are the winner of the Atlanta Monster Challenge,
we will contact you during the first week of February, 2005, to make
arrangements for picking up the bike and your travel schedule. Bikes
will be returned to their owners by March 25, so finalists will be without
their motorcycle for approximately 5-6 weeks.

Should you have any questions about the above information or the Monster
Challenge in general, please contact me directly. My contact info is:
