Hi all,
I’m the owner of a 1988 750 Paso from 2002 and registered to this forum from 2010. Although I’ve been working as a civil engineer for two decaes, I settled my own Ducati specialist workshop in 2016.
In all these years, along with the Paso, I’ve become the owner of 4 more Ducatis: a MTS 1000 I bought new in 2004, an 851 ‘91 I bought in 2012 and later converted in a 851 Réplica powered by a 996 SPS engine and Monster S4R electrics/electronics, a 1986 F1 I bought in 2007 and my most recent, a Monster 695 intended for my customers’ use.
After long years sitting uner a cover in my garage, I’ve decided to recomission my completely original (except for the exhaust cans) Paso, fitting a set of Mikunis from a donor M750.
I’ll keep you informed of my progress!

This is my 851 SP3 Réplica / 996 SPS hybrid bike built by myself from the con-rod bearings up... (sitting at my workshop)

She's been started today after about 8-10 years. Just one cylinder working due to the Mikunis having been found not as clean as I supposed I bought then, but nothing that a deep cleaning -in process- can't solve. So, next steps will be easy!

Re: ‘New’ forum member
would you please post future pictures in a smaller resolution? They are way too big if you can't even see them fully on a 24" monitor. Thanks.

Wow, and I thought I had a nice man cave annex workshop!
Love the coffee table, if I was a little younger I would follow suit.
Is that a private workshop? Impressed.
Love your 851 ..... good luck with the Paso and let the pictures keep comming!
Buena suerte!
