Well, I picked up the '92 750SS this week. Gave her a quick wash, still needs more detailing as she was ridden last week with some sand still on the roads. I took a couple of pics with my Palm based camera, they turned out poor ... at least you can tell it's a red Ducati

. The bike has not been run much in the past year and a half, so I hope to set up an appointment and get her up to BCM for a checkup (fluids etc). Looking forward to getting some riding in this season. I'll get some better pic's with my manual camera soon.

Welcome to the madness! Keep your hands inside the car at all times and enjoy the ride..... now that you have a Duc your life will never be the same......

So does that mean you'll be broke and swear like a sailor? Oh wait, I was like that before I got a Duc

They say history has a way of repeating itself!

I picked up that habit working on my Norton. When she's right though, there's no bike like her.

The seat was recovered by a local upulsterer, and is another thing that I liked about this one. It allows me to sit a bit further back on the seat, which is more comfortable to my 6'3" frame. May still change it up a bit, or find a used stocker and try it out for a while. I would prefer to have the pegs about another 2-3" further back as well, but am going to wait and get some miles on it before doing anything. The riding position as is, is not too far off that of my Norton. (The Duc being slightly more aggressive).

makes sense - good for many hours of saddle time!
