DUCATI UNLIMITED CLUB

DUC was formed by a group of friends who share the same admiration in the ladder frame, sound and elegance of a Ducati motorbike. The guys clicked as a group because aside from enjoying the straights and the twisties, they all love the sheer enjoyment of being with fellow Ducatisti sharing their fun stories and adventures about their bikes and riding experiences. These guys believe their Ducati bike was their best investment! DUC Bros, as they are fondly called, has a lot of extra-curricular activities too. They are the ones seen “monkey-ing” each other in golf courses, badminton courts, especially in drinking places when it’s not “bike-night-out.” Their Ducati bikes served as their common blood-line in the establishment of a cohesive group that has grown from a bike club into a brotherhood.

These guys indeed are “Natural born DUC!”

DUCATI PILIPINAS MOTORCYCLE CLUB (DPMC)

DUCATI PILIPINAS MC = Pride of Ownership ; Passion for Riding... and the value of Friendship.

Ducati Pilipinas MC was formally launched 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 MC 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 MC grow.

With numerous activities planned by various section administrators of Ducati Pilipinas MC put together rides, eat togethers, parties and charity related events that enjoyed the support of members. Camaraderie at its finest when Ducati Pilipinas MC members showed up in numbers to support the successful completion of their friends participation during the 2009 and 2010 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. And whenever DPMC hits the road, on another epic adventure, no preparations is spared from pre-ride briefings, maps, accommodations and itineraries are gregariously determined to ensure that it will be another Ducati Pilipinas MC 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.

AJ Maralit, ATAT member and PIDO Forums creator/admin, taken during the Ducati Riding Experience (DRE) at Sepang, Malaysia.

Riding a high-performance motorcycle is a continuous learning experience. Some people ride bikes to reach new destinations and enjoy the wonderful scenery outside our congested metropolis. Others ride because of the friendship and camaraderie they enjoy with those who share the same passion. Still others ride for the freedom and exhilaration that only a two-wheeled vehicle can bring. All these are reasons for members of the ATAT motorcycle club to have banded together and remain as friends throughout its eight years of existence. But beyond these, ATAT members ride to constantly hone their skills and become even better riders than they already are.

Not only do they strive to be the best riders they can be, most of the ATATs also ride the latest and greatest Ducati superbikes. Amongst the Ducati Superbikes the ATATs ride are the 1198S, 1198S Corse and of course the 1198R Corse. To them Ducati means the best bikes for the best riders.
