The world of DOCs (Desmo Owners
Clubs) is the most fulfilling way in which to enjoy the excitement you get from
your Ducati. Through the official clubs you'll meet people who share your
Desmodromic passion and rest assured that wherever in the world your journey
takes you, there'll always be a friend on hand to welcome you.
Since the year 2000 the number of
clubs has been increasing steadily, reaching the 200 mark in 2007, and the
community continues to grow.
DOC members get special treatment
at all Ducati events and can benefit from exclusive viewings during company and
museum tours. As a Ducati club member you can also take part in all the club's
organised events, such as bike meetings, track days, trips and lots more.
Find the club nearest you here on
the website, get in touch and join them. And if there isn't a DOC club
in your area yet, why not set one up yourself?
Any group that aims to promote
enthusiasm for the world of Ducati can become a part of the DOC programme.
There is no minimum or maximum number of members for a club.
When you've got together and formed
a club, email us at club@ducati.com with your
membership request which must include:
Club name
Name and contact details of the club representative for Ducati
Club address
Club website
Number of members
Foreseen activities
Ducati Store or Dealer involved
Club charter
Your request will be evaluated and,
if accepted, you'll be sent a User ID and Password to access the FPO (For
Presidents Only) area. Here you can access the form you'll need to register for
official membership and the full regulations and privacy statement.
When you've filled in the
registration form, print and sign the acceptance of regulations statement and
send it to Clubs Department, Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A. via Antonio
Cavalieri Ducati 3, 40132 Bologna.
You'll be granted full access to
the FPO area as soon as the DOC department receives your form. In this area you
can find the archive of announcements, forms for taking part in DOC events,
logos and images for your website and your events, a list of contacts of all
the official Ducati clubs and a forum where you can share your ideas and take
part in debates with other presidents. You can also use the FPO area to enter
events to be publicised on the www.ducaticlubs.com website. A variety of
other functions are currently being set up and we'll let you know as soon as
they're available.
Suggestions for setting up a new
Ducati Official Club:
First of all check ducaticlubs.com to see if there is already a
club in your zone. If so, join them.
Find out the legal situation in your country regarding the set
up of clubs or associations.
Make sure you comply with privacy laws.
If there isn't a club in your area, contact the local dealer and
tell him your plan. Through the dealer you can get to know other Ducati owners
and share your passion.
Choose a name for the club, create a logo, set up an email
account and a website for the club where info can be accessed.
Delegate tasks to members and form a board of directors to share
official roles.
Appoint a club president and establish a headquarters or at
least decide on the venue where club meetings will take place.
Contact local Ducati owners, invite them to join the club and
ask for ideas for improvements.
Involve the local Ducati Store or Dealer in promoting the club's
activities.
