Gill Riddell – Ducati Dragon founder
“I set the Ducati Dragons up in 2021 because I felt there was a need to have a safe space for ladies to come together to enjoy the passion and the love of Ducatis. Since setting the group up in 2021 it's grown to over 400 members and today some of us have gathered together to enjoy our fifth anniversary."

Andrea Marshall – Ducati Dragon organiser
“I came on board with the Ducati Dragons very quickly after Jill set the group up, and I'm one of the organisers along with a few other people. We’re here in this beautiful hotel in Shropshire this weekend, enjoying our Ducatis, eating, drinking and laughing. 

We've had lots of activities this weekend, with demo bikes from Ducati Manchester with the Streetfighter V2 and a Scrambler Icon which the ladies have enjoyed. We're had RoSPA observed rides, a Biker Down course, biker yoga, and a wonderful raffle with lots of donations from lots of Ducati dealerships, in which we are aiming to raise over £1,100 for the Air Ambulance charity."
