Ride to Italians Do Them Better

We have been invited again this year to attend the Italians Do Them Better event by .redPassion at Roland Sands Design in Long Beach.

Last year the event included 41 motorcycles and 4 cars that were invited and curated by the IDTB/ .redPassion team. The vehicles were placed around the facility and the RSD HQ was transformed into a wonderland of carbon fiber clad, race infused, custom, vintage, and special edition Italian machines. Throughout the day we saw 600+ visitors and 300+ motorcycles come through and despite having an ‘Italian Parking Only’ rule for inside the gate the parking area was packed!

DROC rode in as a group and the display of our Ducati bikes in the “Italian Parking Only” became partially a “Ducati Only” section.

Ground Rules

We would like to remind everyone, that each rider SHOULD and MUST ride within their limits. If the group goes at a speed you don’t feel comfortable with, you should not be attempting to keep up.

You are encouraged to go at your own pace and the sweeper will be with you always. The group will always stop at important points for everyone to regroup.

Please, don’t feel ever like you are holding the group. We ride to enjoy our motorcycles, among friends and we want you to be safe.

• Safety meeting mandatory before the ride
• Adhere to indications given during the safety meeting
• No passing on the right side of the road
• Ride your own Ride; don’t push beyond your comfort zone
