About UpNorth
Ducati-upnorth.com was started to try and provide owners of Ducati's in the the North of England and Scotland one website where they can find details of events, rideouts and meeting places, no matter which of the many Ducati clubs they belong to. Traditionally events in the North and Scotland were less well attended than the south and this website is trying to alter that. It is not a club, there's no membership fee and no requirement to be a member of an existing official Ducati Club although Upnorth is also the internet home of the factory recognised Scottish Ducati Club and if you live in Scotland we'd recommend joining, membership is free.
So, if you live in the northern half of the UK and you own, or aspire to own, a Ducati motorcycle this website is for you. It aims to pull together everything of interest to Ducati enthusiasts from Cheshire and Yorkshire northwards right through Scotland, so you don't need to trawl through numerous websites to find a rideout or track day near you. That covers a lot of Ducati owners, the best biking scenery in the UK and some of the best race tracks in the UK.
If there's a Ducati-related event going on we want to know about it and make sure others know about it to so there's no excuse for thinking that most events happen south of Watford any more. We'll add your photos of events, rideouts, meets, trackdays and socials to our archive so you can share these events with other Ducati owners.
Our Ducati- UpNorth forum is the place to start, here you'll find details of events, chat about Ducati's and find help and advise if you need it.
Even if you don't have a Ducati but want to get one and become part of the worldwide family of Ducatisti you'll find guidance on how to do it. You don't even have to live in the North to enjoy this site or register in the forums, you can get suggestions for places to visit or roads to ride or make arrangements to meet other Ducati owners on your travels North.
We've included a Recommended Roads section to the forums where you can add your opinions on the best roads in the North for riding your Ducati. You can use it to plan your tours, days out or meets and get to ride the best roads the North has to offer. You can add your suggestions, vote on the roads you've ridden and leave feedback or add photos from those roads.
Forthcoming events are listed in our Forum Calenders- (click here for full months event listing)
Sources of information
The information on this site is obtained from the many existing Ducati club websites, it is not meant to replace those websites and we would urge all users to check at the appropriate site for full details or changes. If you spot a mistake or are aware of an alteration please let us know. We can't be responsible for checking everything we get sent, use your brain and check with the organisers before setting off!
Rider Input
This site is written and maintained by Ducati owners and needs contributions from it's readers in all the sections. Please go through the site and use the forums. Contribute your favourite roads, routes, cafe stops, bike friendly pubs or your stories of riding or touring in the North. It can be anything from a suggestion of a good road or cafe to a full report with pictures for inclusion in the photo gallery.
Feedback
We want to know what you want from this, over time things will change and we don't want this site to stagnate like a lot of other Ducati sites do. We've set up a feedback section in the forums, we can't promise to deliver everything you ask for but if we get enough requests we'll try. Similarly if you are interested in getting involved, helping out with events or the website please let us know.
Thanks
This website would never have been created without the help of JohnC, an S4 Monster riding southerner who has given his time, knowledge and lost his patience in the process of helping me try and learn the basics of html, php and forums and all just to let us northerners get together to have fun on our bikes  He's helped me sort servers, domains and I can't thank him enough for the work he's done. If you need a creative agency for your business get in touch with John and tell him where you found out about his work, it might redress a rather large debt I have.
If you've found Ducati-UpNorth useful or enjoyed the forums you can help me keep it all going with your support. I've got software, servers and computers to pay for and there is a limit to what I can blag. Use the button below to send your contributions, no matter how big or small, via Paypal, it is appreciated and it'll all go to keeping Ducati-UpNorth going and improving it. Thanks for your help, Michael.
