mate, even the 1st. year anniversary party was boring (watching paint dry on a wall is more exiting), yes, attended the anniversary party and the DC is in a shitty location...... new Duc's, nope, just ugly looking bikes in flat green and a Diavel AMG......

damn, have another glass of haterade, i had a great time meeting people, seeing bikes and eating and drinking, all complimentary. if you find a location with paint drying on the walls and they have bikes, cool people and free food and drinks, let me know, thanks!

mate, don't get me started on imported food + beverage products, bikes, people and great venues...... your barking up the wrong tree....... the Shanghai Ducati Caffee is a very boring venue -over and out-.... yes, I ride a Ducati in China... do I visit the Ducati Caffee.... hell no, what the f#ck for....!!!!!!!!!!!

I do wish they could move the place downtown! Couldn't they find someplace near the showroom? I've been to that section of Hongkou maybe three times in my 9 years in Shanghai!

Is this the place where the posse of Taiwanese Ducati riders hangs out? Pillion and I rode briefly with a welter of Ducatis, most of them unruly squids, during the ride back from Moganshan two weeks ago. I do like the idea of a regular biker dive somewhere in town. Say, Motokai, what's the new place you were telling me about near Zhongshan Park? That could be a winner!

Cheers!

yeah, spill the news about a decent biker bar..... old Harley's - Bar on Hongqiao Road (Shekan Hotel) was a real classic biker bar in the old days......

Ducati Caffee and Ducati China have nothing to do with each other, different owners - the DC owner has a few bikes and cars.......

During the DC anniversary party they sort of launched DOGS = Ducati Owners Group Shanghai but you never see Ducati's riding around, very strange........

The fact that the Ducati Caffe and Ducati China are unrelated tells you something about their (ineffective) marketing. Say what you will about Harley-Davidson bikes, they definitely have their marketing act together in China -- streets ahead of Ducati. Organizing riders is essential to H-D's success.

Wonder if the Ducati Caffe even has a license to use the brand?

Hi Everyone.
I thought this might be a good chance to introduce myself and Ducati Caffe Shanghai. After 7 years in the Food & Beverage Industry in Shanghai, Im realistic enough to know that we cant please every customer, every time. But we work hard to make it the best we can.

We "re-invented" Ducati Caffe around early March. Since then we've introduced:

New Menu's with Lunch and Dinner sets

A pretty good Beer list (Heineken, Corona, Erdinger, Hoegarden, Murphy's, Tsing Tao)

Indoor/Outdoor giant video screens showing F1, MotoGP, Superbikes and Discovery Turbo in High Definition (and in English)

We're excited to stock a range of Schuberth helmets and Soubirac Leathers, Pants and Gloves from David at Adrenaline

Great Air Conditioning and we made inside Non smoking

In the 4 months since i arrived, we've also established the first Ducati Owners Group in China. As we speak, our application is pending to have DOG Shanghai incorporated into the pretigious Ducati Desmo Club worldwide

We organised an innaugural ride to SZ ( a joint effort form Ducati Italy, Ducati China and Ducati Caffe) on July 7th this year
with a ceremony (well..party really) to welcome our first 30 or so Members

And we are almost finished restoring and customizing our beat up lDucati Monster as a tribute to Marco Simoncelli. (due to be finished early August)
So, as you can see..we have been a little busy.

As some of you would know, our Owner Vick Rana divides his rides between his precious Harley, and his equally precious Ducati.
As far as Ducati Caffe is concerned, its's not about what bike you ride. But that you enjoy the ride.

Please feel free to contact me personally on 186 2182 2172 the next time you're in the Hongkou area, We'll send you a Bike Parking permit so you can park right outside our doors, and try our best to make sure you enjoy our Venue



Cheers..and safe riding
