On Saturday May 3, Ducati riders across Australia joined thousands of Ducatisti around the globe for the fourth annual ‘We Ride As One’ event – a worldwide celebration of two-wheeled passion, performance and community spirit.
Held every first Saturday in May, the event sees Ducati riders take part in coordinated group rides, dealer-hosted events, and Ducati Official Club meetups in more than 50 countries around the world. This year, over 21 rides were organised across Australia and New Zealand, from the heart of Sydney to the coasts of Perth, and everywhere in between.
In Melbourne, 132 riders aboard Panigales, Monsters, Diavels, Multistradas and Scramblers of all shapes and sizes set off from the Ducati dealership in South Melbourne, winding their way through the Yarra Ranges to Lake Mountain in breathtaking autumn conditions. Along the way, the convoy paused to refuel riders and bikes alike at key stops like Ringwood and Marysville, where even more Ducatisti joined the celebration.

Ducati Melbourne Service Manager and Melbourne ride organiser Dave Gardner says the event is gaining popularity, with many Ducati riders pre-registering for the ride.
“The numbers today really show the strength and spirit of the Ducati community,” he said. “Seeing over 130 riders here in Melbourne and knowing events are taking place around the world makes you realise how much connection and passion there is amongst the Ducatisti.”
The 2025 event also marked the 25th anniversary of the global Ducati Official Club network.
