We Ride As One - The Ducatisti Community 

The route to Wollombi is a rite of passage for local riders, offering the perfect terrain to experience exactly why Ducati has dominated asphalt for 100 years:

The Twisties: Navigating the sweeping bends and tight apexes of the Old Pacific Highway and Peats Ridge Road.

The Terrain: Carving through the scenic, rugged sandstone valleys along George Downes Drive.

The Destination: Parking a stunning line-up of Italian engineering outside the iconic bush pub, where riders shared stories before the return leg.

Ducati’s story did not begin with superbikes; it began on July 4, 1926, with radio components. It wasn’t until the post war era that the legendary Cucciolo clip-on engine forever shifted the company’s trajectory toward two wheels. Over the decades, that small spark of Italian ingenuity evolved into a racing dynasty. Ducati’s official centenary theme “A Century Made of Seconds” perfectly honors this heritage. It is a tribute to every fraction of a second shaved off a lap time on global MotorGP circuits, and the profound connection felt every time a rider twists the throttle on the open road.

Engineering draws riders in, but the community keeps them here. To be Ducatisti is to belong to a passionate global family. The centenary celebrations continue throughout the year, building toward the massive World Ducati Week scheduled from July 3 to 5 at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli.
