Ducati launches adventure riding program
The Ducati Adventure Riding Experience (D-A-R-E) will offer training and "rider experience programs"Ducati Australia has launched a wide-ranging off-road riding program called D-A-R-E, which stands for Ducati Adventure Riding Experience. D-A-R-E encompasses both training and adventure riding tours.
The levels of training are as follows:
Level 1
Ticks and techniques for:
Pre-ride inspections, bike setup, electronics overview and settings;
Clutch throttle/brake control, fore and aft and side-to-side balance; and
Active and passive riding styles, ascents and descents, and hill starts.
Level 2
Riders move into more challenging terrain with the emphasis on higher level riding skills and techniques. Level 2 prepares riders for extended expeditions with training on cornering and braking techniques for unsealed surfaces.
The training program is offered in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, where a range of Ducatis will be available for use. No other motorcycle brands can take part.

D-A-R-E will offer fully supported adventure rides ranging from two to 10 days, including a big annual trip.
