This weekend, Ducati North America Hypermotard Demo Truck will set up at Newcomb's Ranch Restaurant & Bar, the only restaurant on the legendary Angeles Crest Highway and a gateway to some of the best motorcycling roads in the world.

From 9am-5pm each day, Ducati will transform the heart of Angeles National Forest into a Ducati haven offering you the chance to get in the saddle of the Ducati Hypermotard.

The Angeles Crest Highway is a two-lane segment of State Route 2, 66 miles in length, with its western terminus at the intersection at Foothill Boulevard in La Cañada Flintridge and its eastern terminus at State Route 138 northeast of Wrightwood. The majority of the route passes through the mountainous terrain located north of the Los Angeles basin with segments of the road reaching altitudes above 7,000 feet and a summit of 7,903 feet at the Dawson Saddle, making it one of the highest roads in Southern California.

Because the route passes through the protected Angeles National Forest, development is very limited (click picture to enlarge). There are few buildings between La Cañada Flintridge and Wrightwood save for Newcomb's Ranch, campgrounds, and visitor centers.

Ducati will bring 15 Hypermotards for the demo days in all styles of dress from the standard to the S loaded with Ducati Performance parts and accessories will be available to demo on a first come, first served basis. As with any appearance by the Ducati North America Hypermotard Demo Truck, riders should get there early as rides fill up quickly.

The Pike's Peak class-winning Hypermotards and the Spyder Grips team will also be on hand!
