Ducati Cucciolo

  1. Hi Guys,
    In my newbie introduction thread a couple of people were interested to see some photos of my 1953 Ducati Cucciolo.
    So here it is, as it is at the moment hibernating in the living room.

    I bought it off a grey haired chap I met in the pub, who had too many projects by all accounts. I think the list included as Scott Flying Squirrel, Ducati F1, roundcase 750 SS, and an old 450 Ducati that he commutes on!

    The day I collected it.

    Since then it has lived in my office.

    And I have had the tiny little drum brakes relined by a lovley man in Wales who charged me £5.

    Before the summer I need to change come of the control cables, put a new spark plug in and top then engine up with oil and petrol. It will then have to have a new V5 issued, but otherwise will be ready for the road!
