Nice though

Rhino,

You should give this one serious consideration. Certainly not original, but plenty of sensible, usable modifications. Plus, maintenance is very simple, valve clearances are a very quick job as it has valve springs and not desmo.
Cheers,

Oh yeah .... I would give my right leg for that

note the kink in the femoral rod at the top screw .... yeah I broke it

I had one of those in 1980. My first Ducati after mainly British bikes, T140, T160, Velocettes etc. I was in my mid 20's and I loved that bike. I had a serious accident on it(smidsy) and sold it to a friend for £350 who classic raced it. I drool over them every time I see one. Best looking bike to come out of Bologna imho.

I tell you guys if I could afford it . . .
It would have pride of place in my living room!

Mc Tool . . .
How the hell did you break that top "screw" . . . what did you fall off this time?

Its the actual rod ( across top in 1st pic )..... stood up to get another beer an it just broke ... metal fatigue . That mess above the screws is supposed to be a 100mm bone graft ...but it didn't and eventually the rod flexed one time to many..... went down in a heap too but I did have that beer before we left for the hospital

With the hole drilled through the rod to take the screw there's not much metal left to support anything!

Yes Derek , the minute I saw it I could see why it broke , a wonder it lasted as long as it did , Them orthopaedic 's sure aint engineers that's for sure
