From a press release issued by Ducati North America:

THE BOSS IS BACK IN TOWN FOR EAST COAST DUCATISTI

Eric Bostrom will make a trip to the East Coast and visit Ducati dealers, do radio interviews, and mingle with local Ducatisti

Cupertino, CA — Parts Unlimited Ducati Austin’s Eric Bostrom will be back on the East Coast for a special trip dedicated to his fans.

Eric will be making appearances at two authorized Ducati dealers, Coleman Powersports in Falls Church, VA (outside of Washington, DC) and North American Warhorse in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Eric’s weekend will kick off on Friday October 22, where he can be heard live (and in the studio) on the areas top rated “Afternoon Show” on WHFS FM (99.1) along with host Tim Virgin. Mr. Virgin also happens to be a dedicated Ducatisti who owns a 749 Superbike and is a racing enthusiast. Eric will speak about his 2004 season and life in general as a motorcycle racer. After the studio appearance, Eric will visit Coleman Powerports in Falls Church, and attend what is being billed as the “Rockstar Ducati Riders night” event, which will see numerous activities centered on fashion, motorcycles, and superbike racing. The event is open to all riders, regardless of motorcycle brand.

On Saturday October 23, Bostrom will appear at North American Warhorse in Scranton, Pennsylvania for the Warhorse Rider appreciation day. During his visit in Scranton, Eric will be doing a rare ride on the street with his fans, along with plenty of local police escorts. The event at North American Warhorse will include live entertainment, free food and refreshments, hourly door prizes, a stunt show, and many other activities.

Eric is looking forward to coming back to the East Coast. According to the Boss, “I had such a good time on my last East coast trip that I decided I had to go back. The fans that I met were so knowledgeable and cool that I wish we still had a race in the Northeast to give them. (North American) Warhorse put on such a good Ducati event in the spring that I couldn’t wait to see how they top themselves this time. There were so many people there and they even put up a big Von Dutch display for me; I was just blown away. I hope everyone comes out and sees us there again. DC should be fun too. I’m looking forward to seeing how they do it there. Hope to see lots of Ducatisti at both events.”
