Back in 2017 I posted a similar question, and we got 65 responses and seven pages to read. I need more to read in this wet cold weather we have here. Photos are good. Not limited to only Ducatis but, please, no Holden (or similar) pickup trucks. Thanks, MikeV

Between changing diapers (not mine, granddaughter's) and taking my other three grandkids for a stroll, trying to cultivate some stuff in the garden and keeping the wife happy, there's not much time left. Killed the Paso last year and sold it. So now I'm rebuilding a 79 pantah, with genuine period parts. No repainting, just cleaning and making it rideable. then there's a F3 with a DM650 engine but 750cc (is that an early F1 engine ?). Forcella Italia (HB2 type) with some not too wide rims (Aprilia RS250). A more than usual modified pantah frame is getting a DB1 cover, lighter, lower and not too fast for my wife and one of the daughters. There are a few Rolly Ducati's waiting for a 50cc engine, and maybe I'll squeeze a 100cc into one of them. Good for cruising the Alpine passes without getting into trouble. this week started making the SS600 and a Cagiva Alazzurra350 ready for a summer of fun. I know, too much for one man and no help around : daughters and husbands too busy to indulge themselves kneedeep into Ducati, except when the weather's good and they want to take one of the Ducs for a ride.
sigh

Maybe I should stop looking at this screen ?

ciao

Really? No one building something? Or even modifying what you have? MikeV

RE Drama Darmah: beautiful bike, beautiful countryside, and interesting road surface.
And I think one Steve D’Angelo, here in the US, has a Moretti single that he raced for years - even in Australia.
Thanks Graeme.

Beautiful bikes! Great job Graeme! Our friend Paul also has a Moretti single. C'mon Paul, share! Lou

Looks like a dirt-track bike. I like it. MikeV

I meant flat-track racer.
