True..when with Mansell we decided to open this section the aim was to attract foreigners,but with little succes also due to the limited number of members answering in English....

Now maybe things will get better...

I think that to attract foreigners, we've not only to talk more english, but also to give (maybe) arguments that can attract them, like tech ones.... I mean that it's good to make friends and talk whit them, but also give their valuable information that can bring them there for various interest.
I'm talking for myself, indeed, but when i join there, i was attracted at first by theese arguments, and just later for the good company.
That's just a suggestion, not a critic.
Always glad to help the growt of all this.

Suggestions are always welcomed. Bottom line is that we never really had a consistent number of people visiting this section.
One of the reason could be that since the English "flag" is not immediately visible while open the web site, a potential member just assumes that it is an Italian speaking only club.

Please feel free to suggest any idea that may lead to an improvement of this section.

well there're a lot of biker's forum where peoples speack in English maybe, talking about this forum, one unsucces reason could be the extension .it becuase if is true that a lot of italian bikers can't speack english is also true that i don't see many foreign forum's visitator.. its just an idea...

Hi there!
I'm not a biker so maybe my view is a bit like outside the real needs of bikers, but I think people from other countries can find technical suggestions almost everywhere. I don't really think italian technical "experts" can give much more than other countries' ones - especially if they aren't confident with english!
I'd rather suggest to focus on specific "italian" tips that are useful and interesting for foreign bikers visiting this forum, i.e. routes suggestions, accomodations, events a.s.o.
No-one can show the beauty of riding through Italy better than italian bikers themselves...

The above, IMVHO

in my opinion the first step to conquer public all over Europe (or whyz not all over the world) is having a bilingual website. When someone look for information about Ducati and find only italian explanation just look for another webside ignoring that we're the beste ever

See you soon!

Hi patrol, it's a real pleasure to have you there!
So do you speak also italian? Where did you have learn to?
And, sorry for my little ignorance....but where's Granger? (The U.s.a. are so BIG)
Hope that you'll enjoy us, see u later!

Hi! well Granger is in Northen Indiana two hours South of Chicago. I learned Italian in Italy, I spent twenty years there. Calabria, Lombardia, Piemonte e Toscana... I'm 31 years old my parents moved to Italy when I was 3 and moved back in the USA at the age of 23. I hold dual citizenship US and Italian. I served in the Italian Army FOLGORE!! with a stint in Somalia in 93, and now I serve as a Police Officer here in Northen Indiana.
Yes I did mention this site on the DML.. I love my Monster...

hi all,

i can now give you a very good indication as to why many people may not participate from outside Italy so much. it took me a very long time to figure out how to register because everything is in Italian. i guess it was a little easier for me because i am French but i can imagine the average foreigner getting very discouraged very fast with the registration hurdles.

that being said, i gave it a go because i want to know if there is a DMC chapter in Canada.

Peace!

Thanks a lot for your visit Ownly!

now if someone could only answer my other post... that would bee cool.

hey guys, nice to find some italian ducati fans, i too am a ducati monster owner and ducati monster list member. my bella clara speaks italian so i am trying to learn. and i love her as much as my monster!

clara, born august 1970
gloria rosso, bought oct 2005 (the monster, ottocento)

i will post some photos when i read the instucciones

ciao, james

Many thanks for your visit eyeboy, I hope thay you will get a lot of riding pleasure from your Ducati!

The only instruction you need to know to publish pictures of your iron lady (I guess Gloria will be enough, be careful with all these latin lovers... ) is to open and close the path of the picture - which should be web-resident - with the img tag in square brackets: [ img ] and [ /img ] (no spaces, of course!)

See ya!

Hi guys, I have been joining DMC from 3 days.
I'm writing from Shanghai.
No fun here....in three year I met just one M600 just once 2 months ago in HK. Strange country!!!!

I'll be back...SOON
Ciao a tutti
