I just attended a charity event at this space and it was my first time being here ever so why not Yelp about it. The event I was attending was for the Carlin Dunne Foundation and he was a professional motorcycle racer who was tragically killed at the famous Pikes Peak race. It was held by Ducati Motorsports which was the kind of bike Mr. Dunne rode. In addition to the silent auction items related to the sport, Ducati had a dozen or so of their newest bikes. It was at this event that I learned that they would NOT be at the Progressive International Motorcycle Show which was going to run this
