Poggipolini is an exotic metals specialist, I suppose - lots of titanium work and other alloys. Lost of great, expensive, trick bits for your bikes!

As for NCR, I don't know ... somebody care to enlighten me? Judging by some of Poggipolini's work, I'd guess "Not Cheap, Really" ... :neener:

thanks, jake. yep, typing 'Poggipolini' into google brings up some interesting-looking entries. didn't have time to look further. i've seen 'NCR' many times - i think it may be some kind of class. i'm sure we'll be enlightened soon.

that really is a beautiful-looking motorbike. might be a trifle uncomfortable though. i'd love to ride it for about 20 minutes.

thanks, jon.

funny, I was just thinking about 30 minutes ago, 'slocum might know that NCR means'. are they a tuning shop or something?

how's the motor in your Paso running, by the way?

Motor is still on the stand. It's been WAY to cold to work in the Garage here in NY. We had a few -14 degF mornings lately. The one day it was above freezeing I rode the 748.

You mean to say you really dont know who NCR are

They are one of the greatest if not the greatest Ducati tuning shops they were in the background when Mike hailwood returned to the IOM in 1978 with steve wynns bike. And they were a recent sponser of Frankie chilli in WSB. as well as many other successes

I knew the letters meant something important, steele. I just was never sure quite what. Thanks for your enlightenment. I'm gonna enjoy finding out more about them now.

Did you do a season of sprinting last year?

Well, I've read a little about Poggipolini and NCR. Very interesting and inspiring. And I just love that name Poggipolini. Poggipolini ... Poggipolini ...

My God, steele! I had no idea you were going that fast! Is she still basically standard apart from the fueling?

I would also be interested to know how you shift gears. I strongly favour one-up-and-four-down, and have altered both my bikes to shift that way. I've written an article about shift patterns for the site, in fact, and am hoping to see it put up soon.

Well the motor is unopened its the NITROUS that makes the differance

Seb has cut a screen from a Hayabusa into the blind paso screen it really looks good will post pics when bike back together This will enable us to get well tucked in and see were we are going .. only other mods will be Megaphones especially made for the paso as used by Maz kubicki on his worlds quickest paso in early 90s he went 10.32 in the 1/4 @ 136mph

Seb is a small light guy who has done 214mph on HIS OLD TURBOED BUSA

Hopefully the old blue girl will be up and running again in march of to 200mph club Dyno day at DSD in essex where i am hoping to find out how much HP she has

That's good testimony for the motor, what?

How many revs do you take her up to? What gear are you pulling at the end of the quarter?

If you're still using the standard gearchange, do you reckon you're changing quick enough?

If you're making more than two changes, really quick changing could surely gain you a good piece of a second, eh?
