Mark Bailey 1975 Morini 3½ Strada

Mark Bailey sent us this: Hi John ....I’ve just been looking through your mouth-watering visitors gallery, and you don’t have enough Morinis! To redress the balance, here a couple of pictures of my 1975 3½ Strada, which has been slightly sport-ised with a bumstop seat and clip-on's. I bought it 18 months ago and have given it a thorough refurbishment since. It’s a marvellous bike and I’ve had a wonderful time with it, including a 900 mile trip to the Dutch Morini Club’s 25

Audie with his SS

A Fantastic period shot of Audie with his SS: I bought my first Ducati in 1980, a 900SS. It was customized by Jim Woods to be a “naked” bike before the concept was popular. Unfortunately, my job required I move to Germany and I had to sell it. I recently bought another perfect one after looking for one for several years. #VisitorsGallery2011

Eric Duhaut Ducati Scrambler

Eric Duhaut from Belgium sent us this nice restoration story: I would like to present my Ducati Scrambler 100cc. It was purchased in Brussels in 1972 by a member of my family. I discovered it in a shed in his back yard and it was sitting there for almost 30 years without being started at all. As you can see on the first pictures, it was in pretty bad condition. I started to renovate it but I have some difficulties finding some specific parts. Today, all I have to do to fi

We sold this to Richard Rees back in October

We sold this to Richard Rees back in October here he is in sunny December (it’s sunny in Australia anyway) - Uncrating his Guzzi V7 Sport. Back in 2011: Richard Rees is pleased with his latest Moto Guzzi The V7 is running beautifully. It's a real gem. I love riding the Le Mans too, and went away with it for a few days, riding the great forest roads of the south west. The Le Mans is in her element here. A precision instrument on fast twisty roads. I jumped on the V7 when I c

Andy Wallace sent us this story

Andy Wallace sent us this story from Devon UK… So many regrettable incidents in my life can be recalled by starting with ‘it seemed like a good idea at the time, but . . .’ and this is one. About 10 years ago I was relaxing on holiday in France when I heard the unmistakable sound of a number of old motorcycles pulling into the village square. I ran up to see what was happening and one of those events happened which changes your life. A small single cylinder red 4-stroke thrum

Robert Sutton 1994 900SS

Robert Sutton sent us these Attached are some snaps of my 1994 900SS. I prised this machine off a very good friend in 2009 who purchased it in 1996. The Duke has now covered just over 34,000 miles. It started life with a full fairing. My friend sourced a half fairing second-hand and later also fitted the twin headlight conversion. My friend also acquired the L90 DUC number plate. The original fairing has been retained but will not be refitted as I prefer the look of the

Ken Bruce 250

Another fine restoration out of Ken Bruce’s workshop The 250C is a lovely little 17'teener special from the very early 1970's. Its covered in great little design touches and made from top kit from Italy. I don't ever remember seeing one when I was a kid in the 70's. The press of the day said it simply too expensive and we were all on RD's GT's and CB's. Its done less than 10,000 miles and was probably thrown into some garage for years after the electrics proved completely rub
