Mark Cliff from Cheshire 1975 Cali
Just finished restoring this 1975 Cali. Owned one back in the early 80’s (photo 1) and regretted selling it ever since (when son number one was born we needed a car) Always dreamed of owning another and heard about this basket case (photo 2) going for a song Twelve months later the restoration was complete (photo 3) and I took it for the maiden flight in mid January 09 and after a few niggles, we’re both getting along very nicely. Many more miles and smiles to look forward to

Steve Robins
Steve Robins sent us these two! The Guzzi is a MK11 Le-Mans of 1980 vintage, in the guise of a MK1. It's covered 800mls since its full restoration. The Agusta is a 750 four of 1972 vintage. It purports to be one of the mythical half-dozen-or-so tuned 750(SS) models - and is recognised as such by the MV Agusta Owners' Club - but its exact state of tune is unknown to me since I've not had its engine apart. I do know it wears 27mm SS1 Dell Ortos, and it was raced by a chap na

Wolfbosse special
Wolfbosse from Germany sent us this interesting special Still very much work in progress, but basically - yes it will look like this. The seat referrers to some old photographs I found showing Ducati engineers in the early 70's that took naked race machines for short test rides right out of the garage. Instead of reassembling all bits each time, they had this kind of simple clip-on seat. The drum brake for a bevel was used only in one presentation by Ducati in late 1971, r

Mengels stunning Harris SS
Uwe Mengels stunning Harris SS, sold to him by us 5 years ago and now restored to all it's former glory.
Well done Uwe. I look every time for the weight of the parts. All screws I used are titan or 7075 alloy, The mudguards and other parts are out of CFK, the complete exhaust system also is handmade out of titan and have a weight of 3,1 Kg The complete bike with ALL fluids and with a full tank :157 Kg. Many parts in the engine are modified for lighter and more horsepower.

SS Ducati story
This is from Jean Marie in France.
After his "1975 fantastic un-restored 900 SS" below, here is another one ! This is the first 1976 model ever, frame Number 086010 ... This bike is more than interesting, regarding to its numbers and registration date... I have had these last 2 days some interesting talks with Ian Fallon. He confirmed that this one is a Ducati assembled before June 76, A thing that he wrote was non existing in his bible... Before this, he thought that only

Not so magnificent Seven ride again
Seven fools and seven bevels hit the south of France for 4 days of fantastic riding and Mayhem. This really is one of the best riding areas in Europe, many magazines go there to test their bikes as well as some of the factories, if you fancy it Martin at Maison St George is a fantastic host with loads of local knowledge, try it. http://www.st-georges-fr.com/Links.htm You'd think with all that gear he might have packed a decent shirt! Some local lads checking out Nick's 860 N

Jeffrey's Pantah
Jeffrey from Brisbane Queensland sent us these pictures of his Pantah This is my 1982 600SL Ducati Pantah that I rescued from Sydney Australia about 5 years ago in a state of dis-repair and neglect not to mention a lot of odd parts from many different bike models. After searching Australia and Italy as well as the USA I tracked down the hard to find parts. It is now back to a suitable condition for me to show this although there are still a few things that need attention, whi

Nigel Trants
MHR. Owned since ‘1984 The bike has done 61 thousand kilometres in its lifetime and has suffered 1 big end failure when I used multigrade oil back in 1987! The Corsa Vdue I bought back in 2005 and have done 3 TT s, 2 Manx GPs and a few track days after I got it SVA’d and registered. It’s a carb model and runs smooth as you like. It only breaks the bank with the fuel consumption. The other picci is a YB11 I bought this year – reliability with style!!. #VisitorsGallery2010 #Vis
