Random 'ducati' Picture Thread

MF Doom

 

I saw at this bike at the weekend, not a Ducati a 350 Manx Norton. If you look at the cam box you will see something familiar.

 

OHC bevel drive?

 

Belt drive using the cam box, cam and rockers from a 900SS - desmo conversion.

 

I see.

 

For nipping to the shops.

 

How many cc? Might be handy for my week countdown

 

Ducati Rolly, 50cc.

 

Wanted one of these race dashes for a while. This one kindly supplied by @Paolone and seems to be working.

 

Time to bring her in for winter, far too cold in the garage!

 

For the Ducatista who has everything?

This is the second time Iconic Auctions have listed this bike, not sure if this is the same auction or it failed to sell the first time round. The listing is certainly worded differently, now missing some of the previous hyperbole. Probably built by Steve Hilary aka Doctor Desmo, for his girlfriend who used to drag race. Andy

 

Quite a niche market…...

 

Back in the mid ‘70s, I used to dabble in a bit of straight line competition, something an amateur could do relatively cheaply. If I was 10 years younger, I think I could revive my enthusiasm with a bike like that I met Steve back in the early 2000s, absolutely knew his late 80s and 90s Ducatis and built some very competitive bikes.
