Aprilia Central Riding Club

  • The Aprilia Central Riding Aprilia Central Riding Club (ACRC) and Desmo Owners Club Malaysia (DOCM) organized another MotoGP “live” viewing over the weekend.

  • It was the GoPro British Grand Prix this time.

  • We hope ACRC and DOCM will continue to build on their brotherhood.

The Aprilia Central Riding Aprilia Central Riding Club (ACRC) and Desmo Owners Club Malaysia (DOCM) continued to strengthen their shared love for motorcycles through another “live” MotoGP viewing.

The function was held at the snazzy Sofitel Damansara this time around. The attendees watched the GoPro British MotoGP at Silverstone for this edition.

While the first event was seen as an ice-breaker, this second viewing was more of a sign of allegiance as riders from both groups joined to enjoy the excitements of MotoGP as one. It was visible that both groups were relaxed in each other’s company.

Refreshments and dinner were also served.

All present were at the edge of their seats when the MotoGP race began.

Suddenly, Dovizioso was taken out by Fabio Quartararo’s crashed motorcycle at the exit of the very first corner come the race, everyone at the event stood and yelled. It was followed by silence when Dovizioso appeared injured and couldn’t get up. Everyone present, regardless of riding an Aprilia or Ducati was concerned.

Petrucci would eventually finish seventh ahead of Jack Miller (Ducati Pramac Racing) and Andrea Ianone (Aprilia Racing Team Gresini).

But neither group made fun of the other regardless of the race’s outcome. Instead, they embraced each other before heading home.

This should be seen more often among motorcycle groups everywhere.

The Aprilia Central Riding Club (ACRC) and Desmo Owners Club Malaysia (DOCM) celebrate their Italian motorcycle kinship – or brotherhood, if you will – for the “live” viewing of the Czech MotoGP over the weekend.

Motorcycle brand loyalty can manifest in fierce tribalism, meaning loving whoever is riding the same brand while eschewing others. It’s not something bad per se, because it’s one of our basic human instinct to protect the clan we live in. (That’s the central theme of post-apocalyptic shows such as “The Walking Dead.”)

So, it’s definitely something to celebrate when ACRC and DOCM got together as one large biker community.

“The love for Italian motorcycles is something we all cherish. In this gathering organized by Shell, we gather our brothers and sisters from Aprilia to join us the Ducati Owners for MotoGP viewing to support our Italian race teams,” mentioned Gaddaffi Shazalli, Vice President of Desmo Owners Club Malaysia.

According to Juan Chow Wee, General Manager of Didi Resources Sdn. Bhd. (the official importer and distributor of Aprilia motorcycles in Malaysia), “To further strengthen the ownership experience, our doors are always open to various owner clubs to foster greater relationship among bikers and we believe the best biking lifestyle is from owners themselves.”

Juan also added that “listening to our customers” goes beyond just selling motorcycles. “As such, Didi Resources just rolled out a special Service Clinic and Merdeka Campaign for for Aprilia owners. We are offering the original factory oil filter at just RM10, and other important parts like brake pads and air filter at special prices.”

“We always believe in listening to our customers as they are important in improving how we do business, and today we roll out an after sales program to further reduce ownership cost and to ensure our owners get the best from our network in terms of quality.”
