The Ducati Owners Club of Victoria
P.O. BOX 16, BOX HILL VIC. 3128 Australia
Incorporated Association, Registration #A80B
The Ducati Owners Club of Victoria was formed in March 1976 by a group of enthusiastic and friendly Ducati owners who shared a passion for their motorcycles. Since that first meeting, the Club has developed into an organisation of around 400 members who all share that same passion for their beloved Ducatis.
The Club caters for bikes from all eras. While many members own modern day Ducatis, there are still a lot of the older and rarer bikes tucked away in garages, sheds and the odd lounge room. The more modern bikes get out and about on the regular DOCV organised rides (usually at least one a month) to the various motorcycle friendly roads around Melbourne and it's environs while the older bikes, many with club plates, appear on occasions such as the Italian motorcycle concourse or the annual ‘Bevelution’ ride… specifically for the old bikes – it’s a sight and sound to behold!
The Club also conducts a few 'fun-days’ each year at the very popular Phillip Island. These days are possibly the best organised of any track days. With a maximum of thirty five bikes on the track at any one time and around one hundred bikes in total, it makes for plenty of actual track time. But don’t forget the best bit; we’re all Ducati nuts!
As well as the rides, there are also numerous social activities. More info here.
The monthly general meeting on the second Tuesday of each month (unless otherwise advised) at Bells Hotel on the corner of Moray and Coventry streets, South Melbourne. The January barbeque on the banks of the Yarra and numerous day and overnight rides throughout the year are all a part of it. The DOCV can also provide many services in the area of technical advice and assistance for both new and older model Ducatis by way of workshop manuals, parts manuals and specialist Ducati tools. There is also the wealth of knowledge and experience of Club members who are only too willing to assist wherever they can.
And of course, we shouldn’t forget Desmoto, the Club’s own monthly magazine which will keep you up to date with DOCV events, happenings and the world of Ducati. If you would like to find out more or wish to join the club then contact the Club's Vice President here. Alternatively, you are welcome to come along to one of the general meetings at Bells Hotel where you can introduce yourself to some club members. Why not start with the committee members?
