We want more Riders than Fans. We've poured more and more effort into building incredible experiences and a family around this club; now we want you to have a vested interest in it, too.

Last year, we soft-launched paid membership. This year, we're formalizing what it means to be part of NYC's first and only Ducati Official Club sponsored by Ducati— and giving everyone one clear, final chance to get in at our lowest annual dues rate.

Here's what's changing:

Two Kinds of Gotham Ducati: Riders and Fans

Riders are our paid members — the core of the club. Riders pay annual dues and get the full Gotham Ducati experience: the member kit, exclusive Gotham swag, merch discounts, access to member-only events and our actively managed community channels.

Fans are everyone who hasn't joined. If you've been a free member up to now, you're a Fan going forward. Fans are always welcome to follow the club, and you can still pick up a free DOC member kit at some our public events and rides— but Gotham-exclusive gear (t-shirts, keychains, patches) and our exclusive events like overnight trips, MotoGP viewings and famiglia events.. these will be open to the Riders.

Social media communications and community channels will be managed exclusively for Riders. We're not closing the door on anyone — but the inner circle; the curated, members-first experience is a benefit of paying dues, and that's where our energy is going.

What Riders Get

Your membership includes a yearly member kit plus the perks that come with it:

A member kit, featuring:

Gotham Ducati Official Club t-shirt
Ducati Official Club Patch
Membership pin
Gotham Ducati keychain
Discounts on official merchandise
Members-only communication channels, actively managed for Riders
Access to exclusive, member-only events (*group events at some of Manhattan's finest restaurants, overnight or long distance rides, offseason social events).

Ducati Official Club member kits will also be available for pickup for free at select public events. Some merchandise will also be available for purchase by Fan members, without a full member discount.

Dues: Your Last Chance at $75

When we launched last year, dues were set at $75 for 2025. That rate is going away.

Our Annual BBQ and Bike Show will be the final opportunity to join — or lock in your membership — at $75. After the BBQ (aka as of August 2026), dues move to $100 for *new members, with $50 annual renewals.

*"new" means anyone who has not payed dues in 2025, NOT anyone who had previously affiliated on the MyDucatiApp.

If you've been riding alongside us as a Fan, this is the moment to become a Rider before the rate goes up.
