This is a group trip we’re putting together for World Ducati Week 2026 in Misano.

The plan is simple — spend a couple days in Bologna, visit the Ducati Factory, check out Lamborghini, and do a cooking class together. Then head over to Rimini for World Ducati Week and be there for the full event. After that, we’ll head back to Bologna for the last night to make the trip home easier.

Everything is set up so we can travel together without having to figure things out on the fly — hotels, train transfers, and WDW passes are all handled ahead of time.

It’s a small group of Ducati riders, so the idea is just to enjoy the experience, ride, and be part of it without the usual planning headaches.

A little bit of riding, a little bit of la dolce vita, and a good group to share it with.

Want to experience Italy on two wheels? Riders have the option to rent a motorcycle for the duration of WDW 2026, giving you the freedom to explore Misano, the countryside, and beyond at your own pace. A valid motorcycle license is required, along with an International Driving Permit (IDP) endorsed for motorcycles. Riders must also bring their own DOT or ECE-certified helmet. Rental options, “ONLY” include Ducati models, are available upon request and can be reserved in advance. Availability is limited — reserve early!
