Does any one know the whereabouts of Ducati 600ss M165JPJ? It has Mike Hailwood rep paint by dream machine, drilled air box and stage 2 dynojet kit and a Baines Borla straight through exhaust. The last hint I had was it was somewhere near Winchester. Currently on SORN according to the DVLA. Duke
There's only been one other bike in my life, and there is only one lady in my life. Oh and the wife!!
I want my old Lambretta back. I miss her. But she's in Germany, sold her to a guy in Nuremberg in 1990. We had some great times together.
Hi Duke of Stow My apologies if this gets your hopes up but I acquired a 600SS last year which could be your bike. It is indeed on a SORN and I have been undertaking a cosmetic restoration of it; and I am pretty sure that the registration is M165 ??? something.........and my apologies for being vague as I am working away from home at present, so cannot check. Interestingly enough it does have a drilled airbox and when I rubbed down the body panels to have them resprayed there was evidence of a Mike Hailwood colour scheme underneath. I am back home this Friday and will dig the reg plate out and confirm the registration. If it is yours it would be great to learn more about the bike. Gary
Hi Gary, Thanks for that great news. There are a couple of cosmetic repairs on the lower right fairing where a large stone damaged the paint. I also installed a Scott Oiler, so there may be evidence of that, unless it is still there. I have some photos somewhere which I will look up this weekend. I look forward to hearing if the reg is the same.
Hi Duke Yes I remember there being some blemishes in the lower part of the fairing that I repaired with resin/filler. The fairing did have various knocks and scrape son it from I think being stored in a shed. I'll confirm the reg tomorrow evening and if it is then same then I look forward to learning more about it! Regards Gary
Scoured the old memory and it should have stainless steel calliper bolts, disk bolts, engine bolts, peg bolts. It will also have gold Poggi Polini faring bolts. There will also be some paint discolouration on the left hand side of the frame where a little battery acid leaked. The latch for the furl filler cap will have a little paint missing too.
