2018 Ducati World Presidents Meeting Day 1 Bologna

Today is the first day of the World Presidents Meeting.
I got off the plane from Casablanca, to be greeted by Lamborghinis at the Bologna Airport.
I didn't really know what to expect, but was hoping I had Wifi to call a cab to our hotel. 
Fortunately, I stumbled on a couple fellows with a "Ducati" emblazoned clipboard, and although I wasn't technically on the list,
ushered me into a pristine, new commuter van and took me half an hour down the road,
right by the Ducati factory in Borgo Panigale.

I wasn't really sure what to expect,
but I was ready for anything.
The hotel was called the HOTEL AMADEUS BOLOGNA
Indirizzo: Via Marco Emilio Lepido, 39, 40132 Bologna BO, Italia Telefono: +39 051 403040
And I didn't really know anyone.
But there were throngs of Ducati fanatics, that seemingly knew each other for years.
After picking up some intro materials, I was quickly offered a beer,
and introduced to the world's most passionate Ducatisti.
Awesome.
