New Official Desmo Owner's Club Registration and Benefits

US DESMO is an Official Desmo Owners Club and as such it's members are entitled to any benefits offered from Ducati, both in the USA and the world. However, if you aren't a registered member you will not have access to any of it. This is a new program which just opened on the Ducati.com website. In order to be registered you need to go to this link and register as a member of US DESMO INC:

http://club.ducati.com/_layouts/ducaticlub/registration/register.aspx
(Be sure and specify US DESMO INC in the clubs list on the form).

DO NOT try and fill in the CODE number at the top of the form, it's not needed and may make the form malfunction. If you don't want to register it's up to you. You will still enjoy all the benefits of US DESMO, but you WON"T HAVE ACCESS TO DOC BENEFITS like these I have listed below which are just some of what is offered:

This is a new program starting now. I hope you will take a moment and fill out the info on the link. It's literally just a couple of minutes of your time.

Capo Update June 2, 2009

Hey y'all

I have been silent because there is really nothing to report but my wait for the PET scan date. Well, that was yesterday and the scan itself is really nothing but boring. I have to go and they inject a radioactive dye into my veins and then I wait an hour and a half for it to get into my system. Then I lay on a table and I am run through the imaging machine. Then the hard part is waiting for the doctor's appointment the following day.

Well the results are in and I passed! The hot site on my spleen is not showing at all.

Capo has set up a web site at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/capo so we can keep up with his progress. Read the rest of this journal entry there.
