bit smokey ? you would be after being sat for 10 years and ran for the first time since a full rebuild. burning off assembly oil it soon cleared it's throat and ran clearer. It also has a lead substitute added to the fuel plus the chemical used to clean the tank before it was painted - again over 10 years ago. yesterday was the first time the tank had any fuel in it. it looks in better shape than i do also being 44 years old
I think so, Today it will be ridden for the first time, and that honour goes to a Journo who i have much respect for, and has done features with us before, and one who loves his classic Ducati's and engineering. It will be used in a feature very soon. Will try and get some of the shots used for you.
yep. Sorry, my comment came across badly. I too would like to see some more detailed pics... Does look like a very nice bike!...
Hehe. I was chuckling watching you kickstarting. Thats an effin sweet looking machine. I am completely jealous. Green I am. Your too big for it. Give it to me. Please Mister. :biggrin:
well spotted indeed it was pal. hows life with you ? ok i hope. Today was a good day. took it for a run up and down my side road a couple of times, its scratched an itch i guess, but i think getting used to the brakes / gears on the wrong / right side makes me a bit of a liability on the road if not to myself then mechanically at least. Had some great pictures done today and action shots, i think this will appear over the following months in a classic bike mag very soon :wink: as a nice feature.
