California Ducati
Official Clubs Week 2025
September 4–7, 2025 · Pismo Beach, California
For the first time, eleven Ducati Official Clubs from across California rode to the same town in the same week. Four days of coastal and canyon riding, a Hearst Castle tour, a winery run through Paso Robles, and a Friday gala dinner with Ducati North America leadership. This is what happened, and what it earned.
“Best 25th Anniversary
Celebration”
Ducati Riders of Orange County and the Bay Area Ducati Official Club were co-awarded “Best 25th Anniversary Celebration” for hosting California Ducati Week in Pismo Beach, recognizing the two clubs’ shared leadership in delivering a standout Ducati Official Club experience for the broader Ducati community.
What happened.
California Ducati Official Clubs Week 2025 was the first statewide gathering of Ducati Official Clubs in California. Eleven clubs, drawn from a combined membership of 2,259 Ducatisti between Sacramento and San Diego, based themselves in Pismo Beach for four days. The town sits roughly halfway up the state, which was the point: NorCal and SoCal riders could each reach it in a day.
The event was recognized by Ducati North America, whose CEO Jason Chinnock attended and spoke at the Friday gala. Entry was restricted to current Ducati Official Club members riding Ducati motorcycles, with non-riding guests welcome at the social programming.
Arrivals through the afternoon, most of them on two wheels. A 6:00 PM opening reception on the deck above the pier put faces to eleven clubs’ worth of names for the first time.
A split morning: a guided ride up the coast, or the Hearst Castle tour for those who wanted the Neptune Pool instead of the throttle. Both groups reconvened for the evening gala dinner with Ducati North America management, sponsor showcases and giveaways.
Riders headed inland and up the coast; everyone else took the Paso Robles winery bus tour through wine country. The Solvang Vintage Motorcycle Museum and lunch at the Cold Spring Tavern filled out the alternate program. A 6:00 PM closing reception brought it back together.

The organizers.
“Our goal is to unite riders from every corner of the state in one unforgettable weekend. From scenic rides to meeting Ducati executives, this week offers experiences you won’t find anywhere else.”
Tamu Bustos
“California Ducati Official Clubs Week is inspired by the spirit of World Ducati Week and the World Presidents Tour. We want to bring that same energy to California, creating a tradition that celebrates our community while connecting us to Ducati’s global family.”
Renato Bonomini
Filippo Pagan completed the organizing team, working alongside Tamu Bustos and Renato Bonomini to bring eleven Ducati Official Clubs to the same town in the same week for the first time.
Who rode.
Eleven Ducati Official Clubs, from Roseville in the north to Escondido in the south, a combined 2,259 members.
Membership figures are the per-club numbers recorded in the CADW 2025 press kit fact sheet, September 2025. They sum to 2,259; the press release quoted the rounded figure of “more than 2,300”.
What they rode.
Nine types of Ducati made the trip. Ranked by how many of each turned up, the Multistrada led the field by a wide margin, which is what a four-day week of coastal and canyon miles tends to reward.
