Paul Dale 750GT

Paul Dale and his 750GT, bought new by him and he's still riding it! Possibly the only GT750 original owner still riding his bike! "Took the pictures for the invite card to my 60th birthday party in a month or two. The card will say "The Boy Racer turns 60!" My wife's idea, obviously. No, the hair is real and not dyed - I put it down to 32 years of Ducati ownership!!!!" .............. Can't be Paul because I've had one 26 years and I am going grey and only 44!!!!!, Regards

Grant Duguid Spain

Grant Dugids Laverda special starting to take shape. Here are a few more pix to highlight the frame mods. Extended steering head, braced downtubes, monoshock mount on spine tube, triangulated swing arm, lowered battery box etc, etc. It won't look pretty for a long time as I need to make a loom from scratch, finalise welding/cutting etc and sort out the myriad of special brackets etc #VisitorsGallery2009

Stephen Foster from Australia

I have attached some photos of the bike if you are interested. I have owned it since 1975. It has 82,000 km on the clock and the engine has never been split – original seals still in place – but it has had a bore hone and new rings. Recently it has developed the not uncommon habit of jumping out of 1st gear and I am looking at replacing the 6-dog 1st gear with a 3-dog equivalent. I should renew the big end bearings too when the engine is apart I suppose although there is no i

Stewart Miltons, restoration

Stewart Miltons, restoration of his old bike, looks great Stewart. I bought this bike new in Johannesburg in 1982. Did 30000 miles on it before selling it to a friend in 84. Managed to buy it back in 2004 from same friend, now in Germany, and imported it to UK. Bike had done only about 5000 miles in 20 years. Spent the last 2 years rebuilding it, stripped it to bare frame for powder coating and cases apart to replace big end... SS fairing because the MHR one tried to kill me.
