When Boucher posted about the progress of the Alchemy I knew I had some photos of it, but could not find them. Now I did! These are taken in Assen, I think in 1991. /Björn

Hi, Cool shots.....can someone go over all the interesting technical details on this first racer, I am not an expert so I am probably missing the cool stuff. Looks like this a bevel motor converted to belt drive, down draft carbs, etc, etc??

Nobody apparently knows anything, so I continue with some more pics! More bevels (and the last one): The first shot where I managed to not have the head of the main person in the picture appears to show an ordinary 900. And it is, I think it was a S2, but with racegear of Hailwood style. This picture is taken at my racing license course in 1987 and guy without the head is called Ola Jansson. He quickly went on to racing TZ250:s and then even RG500. We have had contact maybe every 10 years, and he wanted to buy my F1 at a point when it almost was for sale. Instead he now bought the only in 1986 to Sweden officially imported Montjuich. He purchased it last year from original owner Göran Alden, who at that time (-86) also had an F1A -85. Göran is the guy on the right, sitting in the MB van. You can see that it has the original 16 inch slicks on, with the 18/67 in the rear on a 5,5 inch rim. Alden was the Dunlop racing tire dealer at the tracks back then, it was mentally hard for him to ride the bike on those Michelins, and Dunlop had no alternative! The other person is Mikael Werkelin who was chairman of the Swedish Ducati Club for some years in the end of the eighties. He was (still is) a true Ducati enthusiast and got the club really active years. /Björn

Gents, Clay, That Alchemy racer has been covered in a lot of magazines (in the 80's). I have a few articles somewhere but all I remember about it is that they ran into problems because a bevel crank turns backwards and they had to adapt Pantah camshafts. The front carb is a standard Dell'Orto but with a adapter-piece to turn it into a downdraft. Makes tuning the carbs just a bit easier when You have identical stuff. Downside is the inlet got a bit too long to turn higher revs. They use the same adapter on Aermacchi and Guzzi singles, cheaper then finding a SSI. For the rest : just standard BoTT stuff @piuma : Nice pics and very strange too : buying a Verlicchi mono-shock frame and ADDING passenger steps Nice those flashbacks to the 80's ciao ducadini

I’ve been told the engine broke doing a burnout in a toilet block after the Bathurst bears races. Last seen still on the workbench in Western Australia. Boucher.
