# Ducati Riders of Orange County - a Ducati Official Club: Ducati Riders of Orange County (DROC) is a Ducati Official Club based in Orange County, California. Founded in 2018 with the support of Ducati Newport Beach (a Ducati Flagship Dealer), we unite Ducati enthusiasts who share a passion for motorcycles built in Borgo Panigale and the experiences that come with riding them.

Our purpose is to build a welcoming, respectful community grounded in camaraderie, respect, loyalty, and responsibility. DROC is led by volunteers and focused on creating consistent opportunities for members to connect—whether they ride a Panigale, Streetfighter, Multistrada, Monster, DesertX, or any other Ducati. We promote safe, responsible riding and encourage continuous growth as riders through education, mentorship, and shared experiences.

We host a diverse calendar of activities throughout the year, including local canyon and coastal rides, bike nights, technical workshops, official Ducati events, MotoGP watch parties, track days, and charity initiatives. Our events are designed to be inclusive for a wide range of riding styles and experience levels, with clear expectations around behavior, safety, and respect for the community and the public.

DROC also supports broader community impact through charitable efforts and volunteer-driven initiatives that bring members together for a cause. In everything we do, we aim to strengthen the Ducati spirit locally while contributing positively to the global Ducati Official Club network through consistent participation, quality events, and community leadership.

- [California Ducati Week](https://drocdesmo.com/event-directory/california-ducati-week/): California Ducati Week powered by Ducati Official Clubs (CADW) is the annual gathering of California's Ducati Official Clubs.

- [DROC ADV tours](https://drocdesmo.com/event-directory/adv-tours/): Most DROC rides get you home for dinner. The ADV tours do not. These are multi-day trips on adventure and touring bikes, built for members who want to put real distance behind them and see something at the end of it.
