(http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d58/RD350b/Cafe/n1271012997_96449_9468.jpg) I've been away for a computer for a few weeks. Now I'm cruising the "Cafe/2Stroke/Single/Twin/Brit/Euro/Cool Bike Pic" thread over on SVRider. It really is a great thread. Title: Re: Cafe 750GT Post by: Travman on August 10, 2009, 06:22:09 AM A couple more:

There It Is" Title: Re: Cafe 750GT Post by: Monsterlover on August 10, 2009, 12:03:35 PM On the first two bikes. . .
how have the builders managed to switch the intake and exhaust ports on the vertical head? Or am i just stupid?

No, found it on this thread: http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=61824&page=380 (http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=61824&page=380)Title: Re: Cafe 750GT Post by: NAKID on August 10, 2009, 04:57:21 PM Ironically the song that I was listening to when I saw this picture was "Whoomp! There It Is" Well that begs the question: WHY? Title: Re: Cafe 750GT Post by: ducatiz on August 10, 2009, 05:06:00 PM On the first two bikes. . . how have the builders managed to switch the intake and exhaust ports on the vertical head? Or am i just stupid? Not stupid, just not old enough. On the older bikes, the top head was front dumping -- carb in the back. The first Ducati singles were front dumping and all the bevels too. The early Pantahs were the same way, all the way thru the Cagiva Alazzurra, and then Cagiva (not Ducati) requested a redesign of the top head so they could stick a single carb for both heads ( a 2 barrel Weber DCNF ) on the 750Sport Nuovo (which was the precursor to the modern SS bikes). First bike with a rear dumping head was actually the 1985 Cagiva Elefant 650. Ducati realized this was a good idea as it allowed for either paired carbs or a single carb setup (even though the DCNF carb was horribly tuned and did not perform well stock).

That is Frank Masscho's bike from Belgium: another pic with Frank on it. It's a Pantah 500 engine/frame, custom fibreglass tank, race bump seat. A lot is actually stock from the P500. (http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l309/ducatiz/motorcycles/FrankMasschoBelgium.jpg) i have some more.. it is from a bike show in Antwerp, he does custom bikes in Belgium... very cool stuff.. i'll try to dig them up..

I think I spoke too soon, the pics were on my laptop and the hard drive died after my 18mo son played drums on the keyboard (he was 18mo at the time). I usually made backups of the drives, I just have to find the disks... not a priority but if I find it I will post them. Frank did custom bikes, mostly Ducatis. I think he was actually a professor or librarian or something and this was his side passion. That particular job (the Pantah 500 cafe) was my favorite at the show.
