POST # 001

Who we are
Ducati Pilipinas was formally formed last May 2009 but the very foundation was laid over a year and a half ago. It is more of a neighborhood barkadahan, where camaraderie, gatherings, rides and ideas are thrown into a vortex for its members enjoyment and benefit. People have said that bikers have an instant bond with other bikers The complete freedom and independence of charting your own trail. The stories and anecdotes that individuals experience together during magnificent epic rides both to the corner coffee shop and thousands of kilometers away. The members of Ducati Pilipinas have even remained close in spite of no longer owning a ride. As you can see, with this bunch of fun-loving, no man gets left behind individuals, it is the ownership of one's friendship that has seen Ducati Pilipinas grow.

Our Mission
DUCATI PILIPINAS MC is formed solely on 3 aspects. Pride of Ownership... Passion for Riding... and the value of Friendship.

DP is, above all, about friendship
Last year, numerous activities planned by various section administrators of Ducati Pilipinas put together rides, eat togethers, parties and charity related events that enjoyed the support of members. The roar of the Desmodromic engine echoed everywhere in 2008 from the Thursday Bike night at Petron Katipunan, thru the old man's nose Club ride in Bolinao Pangasinan situated north of the Philippines. Children appreciated immensely the effort of DP riders as they lent their time, resource and hearts to support the orphants of the SOS children's village as well as join the celebration of the Down Syndrome Society of the Philippines "Happy Walk" at SM Megamall

Camaraderie at its finest when Ducati Pilipinas members showed up in numbers to suport the successful completion of their friends participation during the 2009 Ironman Challenge complete with a welcome committee that ran almost as long as the challenge time limit. Post event gatherings to show thanksgiving for the safe but exciting rides have become the norm, more recently during the club's Mt. Data trek.

DP 2009 and beyond
This year, adventure and friendship will again reign supreme as the boys and girls of Ducati Pilipinas take part in a 3day tour of Bicolandia. No preparations is spared as pre-ride briefings, maps, accomodations and itineraries are gregariously determined to ensure that it will be another Ducati Pilipinas activity; roaring fun

You will not only be a member but also a part of a family. We will also help you take care of your DUCATI but more than that, we'll be glad to be your friends.

It's been an interesting ride and experience and after a year and a half of riding, eating and drinking together, the experiences we have gone thru, the friendship that we continue to share and our love and passion for two wheels and freedom. It is my privilege and honor to announce that our small and growing riding barkadahan (group) is now officially DUCATI PILIPINAS MC.

Congratulations to us and Mabuhay :)
