Wow! Thanks, is that the "everything" thread?

Women huh? , once they discover there arses look big on a bike seat that's it :D , and this aint a bad thing ..... nothing soaks up horsepower and ground clearance like a passenger :lol: TBQH, mine is still fit as a fiddle even after squeezing out 5 pups. I get that she doesn't want to risk orphani...

Ok, does this look like the original setup under the seat?

Lol.....be pretty hard to ride one of those on the street is guess.....didn't they run total-loss oiling systems?

I bought a 907 in similar condition last fall, and even though it all looks good, going through all the systems takes some time and patience. Of course, most of that patience is needed from the spousal unit. She will undoubtedly ask, "isn't that thing done yet?" and of course "What a...

So I went and picked her up today. The good:it's all there, including the original tapered exhaust cans & a bag of misc parts, mostly small stuff (old spark plugs, clutch/brake lever covers, new bodywork hardware, etc.). It's even got the complete original tool kit & factory service manual. ...

I just got a ballistic evo 3 battery for my 630SMS and so far I'm impressed. The bike has no parasitic draw, which I hear is what's certain death for Li batteries. The battery is an 8 cell & it spins the single over well faster/starts faster than when the bike was new. Definitely going that rout...

Yahtzee, going to get it this week/next week depending on scheduling! Wife is pissed! Her: You already have 4 damn bikes in the garage! Me: Well, I gave you 5 kids didn't I? Now we're even. Her: How many bikes do you need with only one ass? Me: 1 more than I'll ever own! Meh....the couch is comfy......

Hey guys thanks for the good info! I'm in CT. I thought the bike was stored outside based on the pics he sent me, but i talked with him today and he'd just put it outside last week under the cover to make room so he could organize (getting ready to move). It's been garaged this whole time. The rust ...

Is there an online (reliable) source for parts for the Paso? I want to research what a parts layout would cost for the resto. Also I read somewhere (ADV rider?) that its recommended to swap the single weber for a twin mikuni setup from a newer model? Any info on the particulars regarding that would ...

Yeah, it's not running at the moment. He said he had a mechanic friend (?) look at it who said it would take @$8-900 to get it running....now running is one thing, what I will give a pass as to ready to ride is another. I've witnessed plenty of bikes on the road that people got "running" t...

Hey all, chalk this up as an introductory post, with a dash of hope to tap into those experiences with these machines. I've been around bikes all my life since I was 4, so approximately 40 yrs but have never owned a Ducati. I've ridden a few, but never an owner. I have experience racing motocross at...
