The Ducati TT and F1 Forum invites you to Symposium 2025. Held at New Jersy Motorsport Park in conjunction with AHRMA vintage racing the weekend of June 20-22.
The forum will host a display of the unique bikes that formed this group to celebrate Ducati's racing heritage. You are invited to bring an example of these special bikes, to be displayed prominently to the vintage community. Please, let us know if you would like to participate, so that we can be sure to save you a spot in the dedicated display area. Other race bikes of this era also considered for inclusion. Special guests are expected.
Best Regards
Lou Saif and the TT/F1 Forum

The group was formed in 2009 for its first gathering (Symposium) of friends in Lou Saifs garage in Queens NY to celebrate the unique history of these celebrated machines. This loose knit group would go on to host many symposiums spurring other international events culminating at Assen Holland in 2016.

With about 3,000 members, AHRMA is the largest vintage racing organization in North America and one of the biggest in the world. The Association has grown steadily over the years, reflecting the increasing interest in classic bikes. The American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association (AHRMA) is a 501(c)4 not-for-profit organization dedicated to competing on fantastic classic and true vintage along with a wide range of modern motorcycles.

Very cool......I hope there is a great turn out, take lots of pics. I sure wish I could come but its a long trip from the west coast.

As a consolation I am going to be able to go up to the big Norton rally up by Lake Tahoe to meet a couple of my old riding buddies.

Basically, if someone wants to take part in the event, they get on the plane dressed as a motorcyclist, with their helmet well fastened, they will land 50 metres from the circuit, Lou will be there with the motorbike started and you can start by entering the track.

Only one of our major celebrities like you would get that kind of treatment Carlo. The rest of us would have to drive. MikeV

Wow Carlo, we better get busy! Things are moving along and we are starting to get some commitments from people and their machines. Please let us know if you can come and we will save you a spot. Mike is working on the tent and where it will be placed for best exposure. I am calling people to bring stuff. We are starting to get some momentum, we will keep pushing. Lou

You say I'm so famous? HAHAHA!!! I think I'll rent a motorboat and make the crossing. How nice it would be to come to you, I don't know what the future holds for me, but if I have the chance I'll come to you, I don't know when this might happen.
I'm emptying my mother's house, and I'm throwing away 80 years of things piled up in the house and up in the attic under the roof, I've breathed so much dust that now I'm having an allergy crisis, but I'll survive..... all this because my mother is in a nursing home and I have to sell to be able to let her stay there where she has decided to be cared for, she is 98 years old but she can read without glasses and can walk by herself, she can't climb the stairs anymore, but she has the physique of Volverine....Adamantium!
If I have a couple of cents left in my pocket I'll come and hug you all.
PS. The pilot has aged considerably, but I'm going very fast at the table when I eat!

As with all of us Carlo, our loved ones, and ourselves grow older and a little more tired. We wish her well. You are still very young and full of energy! We would hope you could come to join us! We will find something for you to ride so, bring your gear. I think we will have some very special racing machines . I have a friend who is bringing his genuine TT2, as well as Jimmy Adamos championship winning bikesl. He offered to bring his 125 Gran Sport! I didn't even know he owned one! Very special! I'll keep asking folks to bring their special Ducati racers, hopefully they will all come. Spread the word, and please try and join us if you can. I'll add pictures as we get closer. Lou

Hello to Lou and everyone on the forum. I am happy to read the announcement for the 2025 Symposium. I know it's a lot of work to organize so thank you in advance. Yes, I will attend and bring a
favorite bike to share in the fun and frivolity. It's always interesting to see a gathering of other people's TTs and F1s, because no two ever seem to be the same! Plus, they'll be so many other classic bikes there it will be eye-candy everywhere. Together with the vintage races, wow! Let's hope for a good time, and good weather. Rich P
