I know some of you have a MONSTER in the garage, so here is some REALLY good info for you. DNA is sponsoring this event with some outragous prizes....

DUCATI MONSTER CHALLENGE
The search to find the coolest Monster in North America.

Ducati is looking for the coolest, baddest, most customized and unique
Monster in all of America. If you’ve got a Ducati Monster that you feel is
up for the challenge, then enter the Ducati Monster Challenge! The grand
prize winner will take home a new 2005 Ducati Monster S4R.

The Ducati Monster Challenge will take place at selected Cycle World
International Motorcycle Shows across the country. The Monster Challenge
will be featured at these shows: San Francisco, Dallas, Long Beach, Seattle,
Atlanta, New York, Montreal, Detroit, and the finals will be held in
Daytona, Florida during Bike Week. If you want to be considered for one of
these shows, please submit your entry form and photos for pre-screening
