Our Belief when its comes to joining clubs...

At Red baron Diaries, we are not limited to a single club. We believe in mixing around and getting to know the biking communities be it local or in the region. That has always been my motive in this biking community... to build on the spirit of friendship, comradery and building on knowledge shared by others. We are free to mix around and involve ourselves in different clubs or activities organised by the different organisation so as to enable us to benefit from the enjoyment of riding our bikes as well as knowing more people in the community.

One does not ride a particular brand of bikes throughout their whole life or stick to the same group of friends so why not be friendly with everyone and we can enjoy the biking scene local and overseas as well together.

And some of the interest groups that I am in:

DMCS National Day Ride 2021

SIngapore's National Day 2021 celebrating its 56th birthday was a special affair. It has been two years since Singapore is under various Covid restrictions during this trying time. We took the time to ride our bikes in celebration of the nation's birthday while maintaining and keeping to the SOPs as much as possible. A simple but memorable event.

YEAR 2020

DOCS Waterway Cleanup - Dec 2020

Ducati Motor Club Singapore lent our support for this event that is organised by Desmo Owners Club Singapore. In this edition, a waterway cleanup along the Kallang river was organised. DMCS brought along their family members as the sign up was open to all riders and family. Some had their spouse and kids canoeing together carrying out such meaningful activity on a Sunday morning. everyone had fun as they managed to enjoy the view from the middle of the river as the paddle down towards the marina barrage. Everyone was in high spirits throughout the day and ended the day on a high.

DMCS Breakfast Ride - Oct 2020

DMCS Breakfast ride used to be a norm before COVID hits the country. This breakfast ride organised by Red Baron Diaries for the club. As usual it is always a ride with a twist. We met up at East Coast and took a ride through the Marina Bay area before heading down to Labrador park. At Labrador Park, the group had a group tour guided by Red Baron on the history and significance of the place. We were brought around the park visiting old battle sites dating during the World War II as well as structures (reconstructed) that welcome traders to Singapore shores during the early settlement years.

The ride continues to a farm in the western of Singapore where we had kampong style breakfast. Everyone had time to mingle around and interact with one another during the breakfast sit-down. The event ended around 11am and participants were free to carry on with their own activities. An optional visit to Sungei Buloh Park was in store for those interested.

Multistrada Club (Malaysia) 1st AGM 2020

We were invited to join Multistrada Club Malaysia (MSC) for their 1st Annual General Meeting taking place in Melaka in 2020. We made our way up from Singapore to meet MSC in the event hotel in Melaka. Owners of Multistrada (members of MSC) from all over Malaysia were invited for this function. Although MSC does not have awing or have any members from Singapore, we were kindly invited for this event.

We started out with a daytrip to visit some places around Melaka before dropping by for the AGM. It was mainly a day trip only.

DOCM PRESIDENTIAL RIDE 2020

DOCM Presidential Ride is the first ride of the year to welcome to new committee upon taking up office. For 2018, the ride for taking place southbound from Kuala Lumpur to Johore. We had participated in the ride meeting the main DOCM convoy in Pagoh when they were coming down from KL. We rendezvous and rode together as one southwards to Johore. We had the privilege of being accompanied by the traffic police of Polis Diraja Malaysia who escorted the convoy safely and efficiently throughout the ride.

Prior to meeting up with the main convoy, the Singapore team, Ducati Motor Club Singapore, had our own excursion cum breakfast ride around the town of Pagoh. We had planned it such that we were able to ride out for breakfast early morning and then went to visit a site in Pagoh that was filled with miniature landmarks from all over the world.

So once we met up with the main convoy and started to head south, the main itinerary was to have a photoshoot at the new Johore Tigers football stadium and then head down to Pasir Gudang for a bike festival. Unfortunately the stadium visit did not take place due to some constraints but we head to Pasir Gudang nonetheless and joined the festivities at the bike festival. we were entertained with bike stunts as well as display by various motorcycle groups. From there we headed down to the hotel that was hosting the event, Hotel Mutiara Johor Bahru. A room had been allocated for Singapore club members to freshen up for those who chose not to spend the night.

Upon freshening up and rest, we headed down for tea with Johor Chief Minister, Dato Hasni Mohammad who is also a Ducati enthusiast and owns a ducati as well.Dinner was hosted by the committee and we went on to play games, karaoke singing and lucky draw. The Singapore contigent did win a few lucky draw prizes and also the best performance for the singing contest.

We left for Singapore late at night when the event came to an end. The next Presidential ride will take place in the north for the next term of office.

May we wish the committee all the success in helming the club forward. We at DMCS will always be willing to support.

We had gathered in the early morning and made a ride up north to Putrajaya to rendezvous with the rest of the DOCM member chapters from all over Malaysia. From there we were escorted by Polis Diraja Malaysia (POLICE) to Cyberjaya where our event will be taking place. We were able to mingle with fellow participants and purchase merchandise that are on sale. Meeting up with long time friends is always on the agenda.

We spent the evening in Kuala Lumpur City Centre mainly searching around for good food. ON Day 2 we headed back to Cyberjaya to regroup with some of the participants who had stayed over at the event hotel. From there we rode down to Singapore. It was a simple 2D/1N affair.

THE GATHERING Activities 2018

THE GATHERING - MotoGP Sepang Red Weekend 2018

A short ride up to Kuala Lumpur for the yearly MOTGP races in Sepang. For this trip, we headed up (two bikes) ahead of the main group to do a day trip to the 3 hills of Selangor, Fraser, Bukit Tinggi and Genting all oin one morning before heading into Kuala Lumpur to join the main group. Joining up with the main group we headed to watch the GP races in Sepang. As usual the company was great and everyone wants to come back for more...to more rides.

THE GATHERING - Samui Red Weekend 2018

This trip was organised as an introductory ride to most of the first timers who will be riding into the Land of Smiles. The destination was the island of Koh Samui which was about 1400km away. As this was the first time most of the participants are heading into Thailand, the trip was planned in such a way not to allow fatigue to set in for the riders. We had planned a 5D/4N trip with the first and last day in Hatyai about 800km away from Singapore. This will allow the new riders to get accustomed to travelling long distance, learn how to deal with the paperwork that needed to be done as well as get used to the Thailand road etiquette. Do watch the video to see all the interesting places the group had visited and how the new riders get accustomed to the ride.
