Scramblers unite to relive the glorious past

Ducati last year revived the Scrambler with a post-heritage aura, free-spirit lifestyle and positive outlook toward the future.

The Scrambler heritage is a storied one, dating back to 1962 when the original 250cc model captivated the American market.

It was not the fastest bike of its day, but its excellent frame that could withstand the rigors of track racing, centered riding position as well as its fashionably rounded lines and contrasting body colors, made it one of the most delightful machines of the era.

It’s been about 40 years since its maker, Italian motorcycle giant Ducati, stopped selling this retro looking motorbike (production stopped in 1974).

Then last year, Ducati brought it back to life, unveiling a new Scrambler that captures the post-heritage look, free-spirit lifestyle, and positive outlook toward the future that enthusiasts of this motorcycle segment possess.

Indeed, with the new Scrambler, Ducati harkens back to those simpler days of motorcycling that have been almost forgotten (the beautifully done reinterpretations of the Scrambler now come in various “flavors”—Sixty2, Icon, Classic, Full Throttle, Café Racer, and Desert Sled).

Calling all Scramblers

On Dec. 3, the Ducati Scrambler Club PH will be reliving the glorious past of the badge as it invited a group comprised mostly of Scrambler owners, led by its club president, Gelo Roa.

This event is proudly supported by Ducati Philippines and its CEO, Toti Alberto.

“We promise that this particular day would be much more than the motorbike but also a day of creativity, sharing and freedom,” said Alberto.

This early, 93 riders have confirmed attendance to the event that promises to be a fun-filled day.

The group will be assembling at Ducati Manila located at 222 Katipunan Avenue, Quezon City at 6:30 a.m. Afterward, at 7 a.m., riders will take off heading to Martessem Mountain Resort in Taytay, Rizal, for breakfast as well as short program that reveals what’s in store for the Ducati Scrambler Club PH.
